问题     Since its conception, the European Union has been a haven
for those seeking refuge of war, persecution and poverty in other【M1】______
parts of the world. But as the EU faces what Angela Merkel has
been called its toughest hour since the second world war, the tables【M2】______
appear to be turning. A new stream of immigrants is leaving the【M3】______
continent. It threatens to become a torrent when the debt crisis【M4】______
continues to worsen.
    Tens of thousands of Portuguese, Greek and Irish people have
left their homelands this year, many headed for the southern【M5】______
hemisphere. Anecdotal evidence points to same happening in【M6】______
Spain and Italy. This year, 2,500 Greek citizens have moved to
Australia and another 40,000 have " expressed interests" in moving【M7】______
south. Ireland’ s central statistics office has projected that 50,000
people have left the republic by the end of the year, many for【M8】______
Australia and the US. Portugal’s foreign ministry reports that at least
10,000 people have left to oil-rich Angola. On 31 October,【M9】______
there were 97,616 Portuguese people registered in the consulates
in Luanda and Benguela, almost double the number in 2005. The
Portuguese are also heading to other former colonies, such as
Mozambique and Brazil. According to Brazilian government
figures, the number of foreigners legally living in Brazil rose to
1.47 million in June, up more than 50% from 961,877 last
December. Not all are Europeans, but the number of Portuguese
alone have jumped from 276,000 in 2010 to nearly 330,000.【M10】______ [br] 【M2】
选项
答案 been—去掉been
解析 语法错误。face后所接的宾语从句表示一种状况，其中引导词what作call的宾语，从句意思是“安吉拉·默克尔称之为二战后最艰难的时刻”。若根据原句中的说法，则是“安吉拉·默克尔被称作是其最艰难的时刻”，显然不符合逻辑，故应去掉been。
