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.
【C19】
选项 A、prospect
B、suspicion
C、outcome
D、destination
答案A
解析 名词辨析题。前文提到德国绿卡不能让印度人转为德国公民，而这些年轻的技术工人千里迢迢来到德国工作生活，将来也不能成为德国的居民，这会令人感到没有前景和期望。由空格前的转折连词but可推知这里要表达的就是与“没有盼头”相近的意思。without any prospect的意思是“毫无期望／前景”，符合句意，故选A项prosect“期望；前景”。
