【全文翻译】
是否应该限制技术工人的移民问题陷入了困境。一些发达国家已经制定了移民政策,尽力吸引受过高等教育的专业人士来增强自己国家的竞争力。许多专家表示他们反对限制移民运动的政策,但他们正在讨论帮助贫困国家应对损失的方法。发展中国家应该向移居国外的工人收税的建议得到了全新的关注。有人认为,应当提高技术工人在国内的工资水平。还有些人建议采用一些新的途径来补偿受打击最严重的国家的损失。他们还认为富裕国家应该考虑签发具有年限的签证,允许专业人员在本国工作几年后再带着他们的专业技术和收入回自己的祖国。Kapur教授把技术移民取得签证去富裕国家的过程与赢得彩票相比,因为移民后可以获得相当丰厚的收入。不论是用什么方法,那些有幸移民的少数人获得的利益应该同给他的同胞带来的损失相权衡来考虑。
47.【解析】 K)本句中的空白处应填一个过去分词形式的谓语动词,组成现在完成时态结构。给出的动词中可以和to连用的动词只有sought (seek)和referred,而referred to中的to为介词,文中的to为不定式符号。因此正确只为K) sought取“试图,努力,竭力”之意。
48.【解析】 I)因为这里的空白处后是名词their competitiveness,而空白处前的to则是表示目的的不定式符号,所以空白处只能填及物动词构成to do sth.的结构表示目的。再根据上下文从形式合适的动词中选出适合题意的I) enhance。
49.【解析】 D)结合首句提出的“是否应该限制技术工人的移民问题陷入了困境”,这里自然在讨论一些专家对此的看法。因此to后应该用一个和该句中limit同义的动词原形D) curtail。
50.【解析】 N)句中后半部分缺少谓语动词,而根据空白处前面的are判定为现在进行时态,适合文意的只有N) debating。
