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. [br] 【C2】
选项
A、or
B、while
C、but
D、and
答案
C
解析
语篇衔接题。前半句表明工党支持英语测试,后半句却指出问题,即大臣们在对移民进行英语测试时忽略了对低技能移民的开发,所以此处应该填入表示转折的连词,故[C]but为正确答案。[A]or用来表示选择关系,[D]and表示并列关系,故均排除;[B]while表示递进,也可排除。
