    The most vocal opponents of immigration reform say it’s not just the fear of【C1】________jobs to foreign workers that fuels their cause, but also a genuine concern for the welfare of immigrants who are likely to be【C2】________ by employers who want cheap labor to pad their bottom line. It’s a concern that pro-immigration advocates say they share—and that a new controversy over foreign student labor at McDonald’s has【C3】________the spotlight.
    McDonald’s is under fire for allegedly exploiting foreign students whom the company brought to the United States on three-month J-l visas, which are intended to foster cross-cultural exchanges for international youth to【C4】________ life in this country. The Wall Street Journal reports that 15 foreign students brought over on the program filed【C5】________ with the State and Labor departments that alleged various worker abuses. The students allege that they were paid less than the【C6】________wage, lived in substandard housing, and were threatened with termination or deportation after they voiced concerns.
    Immigration reform’s opponents believe such cases are proof【C7】________ employers just want more workers they can force to labor under substandard conditions. In addition to the controversy at McDonald’s, foreign student workers under the same J-l program recently【C8】________ a Hershey’s plant for exploitation. The issue is a deep concern for labor unions who【C9】________ immigration as well. That said, many immigration advocates argue that temporary-worker programs can still be【C10】________—but only if they’re subject to adequate government oversight and regulation.       [br] 【C6】
选项
答案 O
解析 空格处为修饰名词wage的成分，可能需填形容词、名词或分词。上一句提到外国学生劳工就受到虐待一事提出申述，空格所在句具体说明他们受到的不公对待。该句所列的几项应该都能反映出“不公的、不当的”这一特点。由第二项“居住条件低于标准水平”可推测，第一项所讲的“报酬低于工资水平”大意是指“工资低于可接受的水平线”，能体现出外国学生在国外务工的困境。再联系上文关于外国学生成为廉价劳动力、受尽剥削的描述，可知他们的薪资水平应该是很低的，词库中形容词minimum “最少的”符合要求，填入后表示“低于最低工资标准”。
