Greece, economically, is in the black. With very little to export other than such farm products as tobacco, cotton and fruit, the country earns enough from "invisible earnings" to pay for its needed, growing imports. From the sending out of things the Greeks, earn only $ 285 million; from tourism, shipping and the remittances of Greeks abroad, the country takes in an【C1】______$ 375 million and this washes out the almost $ 400 million by which imports exceed exports.
It has a balanced budget. Although more than one drachma(希腊货币)out of four goes for defense, the government ended a recent year with a slight surplus— $ 66 million. Greece has a decent【C2】______of almost a third of a billion dollars in gold and foreign exchange. It has a government not dependent on coalescing【C3】______parties to obtain parliamentary majorities.
In thus summarizing a few happy highlights, I don’t mean to【C4】______the vast extent of Greece’s problems. It is the poorest country by a wide margin in Free Europe, and poverty is widespread. At best an annual income of $ 60 to $ 70 is the lot of many a peasant, and substantial unemployment【C5】______the countryside, cities, and towns of Greece. There are few natural resources on which to build any substantial industrial base. Some years ago I wrote here:
"Greek statesmanship will have to create an atmosphere in which home and foreign savings will willingly seek investment opportunities in the back ward economy of Greece. So far, most American and other foreign attempt have【C6】______down in the Greek government’s red tape and shrewdness about small points. "
Great【C7】______have been made. As far back as 1956, expanding tourism seemed a logical way to bring needed foreign currencies and additional jobs to Greece. At that time I talked with the Hilton Hotel people, who had been examining hotel possibilities, and to the Greek government division responsible for this area of the economy. They were hopelessly【C8】______in almost total differences of opinion and outlook.
Today most of the incredibly varied, beautiful, historical sights of Greece have new, if in many cases modest, tourist facilities. Tourism itself has jumped from【C9】______$31 million to over $90 million. There is both a magnificent new Hilton Hotel in Athens and a completely modernized, greatly expanded Grande Bretagne, as well as other first rate new hotels. And the advent of jets has made Athens as【C10】______as Paris or Rome—without the sky high prices of traffic choked streets of either.
A)accessible I)execution
B)additional J)incompatible
C)approximately K)incomparable
D)bogged L)minimize
E)contend M)plagues
F)deadlocked N)reserve
G)deflect O)strides
H)deliberately

答案
M
解析
由句子结构可知,该空缺少动词。结合上文的It is the poorest country by a wide margin inFree Europe,and poverty is widespread.可知,希腊政府是自由欧洲中最穷的国家,和其他国家差距很大,到处都很贫穷。由此可推知,其失业现象应该很严重,故M)plagues“像瘟疫一样席卷”与句意吻合,故为答案。
