问题     Japan is a small country with few natural resources.【C1】______this, Japanese productivity, the rate at which goods are produced,【C2】______more than eleven times in the past thirty years. Many people in the West wonder how the Japanese do it. The key【C3】______Japan’s success can be discovered by looking at some basic differences between Japanese and Western attitudes towards work.
    People in the West generally view work【C4】______a necessary evil — one must give up part of one’s freedom to earn the money needed to live. To the Japanese, however, work is the central interest of one’s life; it’s【C5】______that a Japanese establishes his identity.
    A Japanese business firm is like a family. When an employee joins a company, he expects to work for that company for the rest of his working life;【C6】______is anyone dismissed. Promotion is based on the seniority system, the length of employment【C7】______one’s rank in the company. Those at the bottom do not【C8】______chances for promotion because those at the top retire at a certain age【C9】______others may have their turn. In addition, the difference between the lowest and the highest salaries is much less than【C10】______in the West.
【C1】
选项 A、Because of
B、As for
C、Although
D、Despite
答案D
解析 本题考查的是上下文的语义逻辑。文章第一句话就提到“日本是一个几乎没有自然资源而且面积很小的国家”，后面谈到“在过去的30年里，日本的生产率增长了11倍多”，显然这里有转折的意思，故选项D)Despite“尽管如此”符合此处的语义逻辑，而且作为介词。符合此处的语法规则。because of“因为”，as for“至于，关于”均不符合语义；although“虽然”用作连词，不符合此处的语法规则。
