单选题 ______ 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

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[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。
