Immigrants to the UK are being tested on their English skills before being able to claim income-related benefits under a new scheme. People are being asked what efforts they have made to find work before coming to Britain.
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] 【C4】
选项
A、assure
B、reassure
C、secure
D、ensure
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。上文指出英国正向所有的就业中心推广英语测试,该旬解释其原因:该测试可以确保只有符合条件的移民才能获得福利,因此正确答案为[D]ensure,意为“确保”,指确保某事发生,后面可以直接接that从句,也可以接复合宾语。[A]assure也是“确保”的意思,但是指向某人保证某事将要发生,其宾语通常是人或人称代词,如果后面要接that从句,必须是“assure+sb.+that从句”的结构,故排除;[B]reassure“使安心;使消除疑虑”和[C]secure“保护,使安全”,均不符合句意,故排除。
