B、care
C、hold
D、notice

答案 A

解析名词辨析题。上文提到根据新计划，英国移民在索要与收入相关的福利之前，需先接受英语技能测试。这说明英国政府加强了对移民享有英国福利的控制．表明政府的态度是不希望移民占英国福利的便宜。take advantage of意为“占便宜，利用”，所以应该选[A]advantage。[B]care与take…of构成短语take care of，意为“照顾，关怀”；[C]hold与take…of构成短语takehold of，意为“握住．抓住”；[D]notice与take…of构成短语take notice of。意为“注意到．留意”，均不符合文意，故排除。
