问题     Britain may not always check【C1】______properly, but it is sadly good at erecting other barriers in front of people who want to visit the country. At a recent British-Turkish conference, the【C2】______of Britain’ s visa policy【C3】______many complaints. The British embassy’ s website suggests applying for a visa any time up to three months【C4】______, but Turks at the meeting complained that they had no hope of getting one unless they applied at least 30 days before travelling.
    Many embassies and consulates ask visitors to apply for visas online—difficult for those without easy internet【C5】______. Then they must make an【C6】______at a visa application centre, which could be thousands of miles away. Russia has five centres, all in the south-west corner of the country. For those in the rest of the Russian【C7】______, the months it can take to get an appointment at least give them time to organise getting to it. Iraqis are less fortunate. The British embassy in Baghdad does not【C8】______visas, so they have to travel to Lebanon, Jordan or Turkey to apply.
    It is an expensive business, too. Syrians who wish to live in London have to pay 6,100 Syrian pounds(£ 78, or $123), half a month’ s【C9】______salary. That is assuming they don’t have to pay extra to get all their documentation translated from Arabic into English. Russian officials complain about the cost of【C10】______British visas in their country, which can reach £300. The forms are long. Again, America is cheaper and easier.
A)access B)total C)appointment D)obtaining
E)provoked F)easiness G)in time H)produce
I)average J)vastness K)enormous L)passports
M)rigidity N)in advance O)issue [br] 【C3】

选项

答案 E

解析 根据后面的many complaints(许多抱怨)可以推测这里要填一个与抱怨相关的动词。分析句意这里讲的是在英国一土耳其会议上,英国刻板的签证政策引起了许多抱怨。所以此处填provoked,它的意思是“惹起,激怒”。修饰后面的manycomplaints,表示惹起很多不满。produce在意思上不及provoke具有感情色彩,而且一般不与many complaints连用。因此,选provoked
