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".

选项
A、appeal
B、claim
C、pray
D、beg
答案
B
解析
动词辨析题。文章开头提到根据新计划,英国移民在索要与收入相关的福利之前,得先接受其英语技能的测试,而该句则进一步强调这一点,句首的不定式表示目的,所以移民必须通过“惯常居住地测试”是为了“索要福利”,此处应该填入[B]claim“索取,索要”,指有权或宣称有权得到而公开提出的要求。[A]appeal意为“呼吁;申诉”;[C]pray意为“祈求,恳求”,语气庄重,指热情、诚恳和敬祈地要求;[D]beg意为“乞求,请求”,指恳切地或再三地请求或要求,常含低三下四的意味,也多用于应酬场合,均不符合原文意思,故排除。
