单项选择题
______the claim about German economic might, it is somewhat surprising how relatively small the German economy actually is.
A．To give
B．Given
C．Giving
D．Having given
答案
参考答案：B
解析：本句测试的是Given的特殊用法。Given此处不是“被给”而是“考虑到”的意思，如： Given their inexperience，they have done an excellent job 考虑到他们缺乏经验，他们还是干得非常好的。To give，Giving，Having given都不合适。
