Mr. Obama says that part of the solution【C1】______America’s economic problems should come from its universities and research laboratories.

选项 A、explorers
B、emigrants
C、migrants
D、travellers

答案 C

解析空格前的修饰词earlier和句子后半部分的fresh“新到的”相呼应，可以判断此空格处和fresh所修饰的词immigration“移民入境”有关，因此选migrants“移民”。此处意为“有些专利给了出生在美国的早期移民的后代”。emigrants意为“(去往他国的)移民”，即从美国移居到其他国家的人，因此不符合句意。
