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.【C3】______ all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for 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.
【C9】
选项
A、invariably
B、literally
C、barely
D、solely
答案
C
解析
副词辨析。A项invariably意为“始终不变地,总是”,B项literally意为“照字面地,实在地”,C项barely意为“仅仅,勉强地,几乎没有”,D项solely意为“单独地,唯一地”。根据句意,德国政府的这个项目失败了,仅仅有一半的绿卡发出去了,正确答案应为C项。
