问题     Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. economy【C1】________during the ’90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology【C2】________. But how? In the late ’90s, the answer seemed obvious: Indians. After all, Indian entrepreneurs【C3】________one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would【C4】________Indians to Germany just as America does: by【C5】________green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and【C6】________that they would issue 20,000 in the first year.【C7】________the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the【C8】________would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later【C9】________half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was【C10】________.
    I told the German official at the time that I was sure the【C11】________would fail. It’s not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy,【C12】________I understood something about green cards, because I had one (the American【C13】________). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued,【C14】________it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The U.S. green card, by contrast, is an almost【C15】________path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record). The official【C16】________my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. "We need young tech workers," he said. "That’s what this program is all【C17】________." So Germany was asking bright young【C18】________to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange land—but without any【C19】________of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was【C20】________received in India and other countries, and also by Germany’s own immigrant community.
【C5】

选项 A、offering
B、installing
C、evacuating
D、formulating

答案A

解析 动词辨析题。空格位于by引导的方式状语中,表明美国人的做法是“________绿卡”。根据下句谈到德国的做法:第一年发行(issue)两万张德国绿卡,推测填入的动词与issue有着类似的含义。四个选项中只有A项offer“提供;出价”与其后的green card“绿卡”搭配后句意通顺,表示“提供绿卡”。绿卡是一种给外国公民的永久居住许可证,B项installing “安装,安置”、C项evacuating“疏散,撤出”和D项formulating“明确表达;构想”与green cards搭配后分别意为“安装绿卡”、“疏散绿卡”和“表达/构想绿卡”。均不符合逻辑。
