问题     Immigrants to the UK are being tested on their English skills before being able to claim income-related benefits under a new scheme. People are being asked what efforts they have made to find work before coming to Britain.

    Job centers in England, Scotland and Wales began using the "more robust" language tests on Monday and they are being【C3】______ to all centers. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)said the test would【C4】______ " only migrants who have a legal right to be in Britain and plan to【C5】______to this country can make a claim【C6】______benefits". "For the first time, migrants will be quizzed about what efforts they have made to find work before coming to the UK and whether their English language skills will be a 【C7】______to them finding employment," the DWP said in a【C8】______. DWP sources said the tests【C9】______ everyone whether he is a migrant or not.

Mr. Duncan Smith said British people were " rightly 【C12】______" that migrants should contribute to the economy and should not be " drawn here by the 【C13】______of our benefits system".
    " It is【C14】______important that we have strict rules in【C15】______to protect the integrity of our benefits system," he said.
    He said the new test would help create a 【C16】______system which provided for "genuine" workers and jobseekers but "does not【C17】______ people to come to our country and take advantage". To【C18】______the benefits, migrants will have to pass a "habitual【C19】______test" including more than 100【C20】______questions compared to now.
【C16】
选项 A、frank
B、neutral
C、fair
D、indifferent
答案C
解析 形容词辨析题。该句含有一个由which引导的定语从句．修饰先行词system，表明新测试帮助创建的制度为真正的_T人和求职者提供生计，但不允许人们到英国占便宜，而此处要填入的形容词也是用来修饰system的，故选[C]fair，意为“公平的，公正的”。[A]frank意为“坦白的，直率的”；[B]neutral意为“中立的；中性的”，往往是指人持中立态度，不偏袒任何一方；[D]indifferent意为“冷漠的；不积极的”，均不符合文意，故排除.
