问题     In the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. While some newly independent countries have understandably【C1】________ most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in Middle East, where increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call【C2】________ outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil-workers from the U.S.A., Asia and Europe. It has brought in construction workers and technicians from many countries, including South Korea and Japan.
    While【C3】________ view of the difficult living and working conditions in Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a【C4】________ attraction.
    A(n)【C5】________ benefit is the low taxation or complete lack of it. This increases the【C6】________ amount of pay received by visiting workers and is very popular with them.
    Sometimes a disadvantage has a(n)【C7】________ advantage. For example, the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other【C8】________ safety and comfort. On the other hand, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often【C9】________ and full of problems but this merely【C10】________ greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.

选项
答案 G
解析 词义辨析题。根据词性，此处应当填入形容词。根据上下文可知此处表示高薪是一个重大吸引力，故可选范围为“main，major”。 main表示“主要的，最重要的”，往往与定冠词搭配，如Premature birth is the main cause of prenatal mortality.“早产是临产死亡的主要原因。”而major表示“主要的；重要的”，可以与不定冠词搭配，如The UN would．play a major role in monitoring a ceasefire．“联合国在监督停火方面会发挥重要作用。”故答案为major。
