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.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said people should not be able to " take 【C1】______" of British benefits. Labor supports English tests【C2】______ says ministers are ignoring the exploitation of low-skilled migrant workers.
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.
Income-related benefits【C10】______council tax benefit, housing benefit, income-based jobseeker’s allowance and pension【C11】______. 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.
【C18】
选项
A、appeal
B、claim
C、pray
D、beg
答案
B
解析
动词辨析题。文章开头提到根据新计划,英国移民在索要与收入相关的福利之前,得先接受其英语技能的测试,而该句则进一步强调这一点,句首的不定式表示目的,所以移民必须通过“惯常居住地测试”是为了“索要福利”,此处应该填入[B]claim“索取,索要”,指有权或宣称有权得到而公开提出的要求。[A]appeal意为“呼吁;申诉”;[C]pray意为“祈求,恳求”,语气庄重,指热情、诚恳和敬祈地要求;[D]beg意为“乞求,请求”,指恳切地或再三地请求或要求,常含低三下四的意味,也多用于应酬场合,均不符合原文意思,故排除。
