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.【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.
【C3】
选项 A、Of
B、After
C、In
D、At
答案B
解析 词组辨析。上句中提到“答案看起来很明显：印度人”，而本空所在句则说的是印度企业家创立的公司占了美国硅谷创业企业家总数的l／3，由此可知本句是对上句的解释说明。after all表示“毕竟，终究”，经常用于解释说明，符合语境，故B项为正确答案。of all不是固定搭配，故可排除；in all意为“总共，合计”；D项at all意为“根本”。
