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.
【C11】
选项 A、adventure
B、response
C、initiative
D、impulse
答案C
解析 名词辨析题。空格所在句句首的“当时我就告诉这位德国官员……”表明作者在这里是就第一段首句德国官员提及的the country had a perfect，solution to its economic problems“德国有了解决经济发展问题的完美方案”发表自己的看法，该方案就是第一段后半部分提到的the pro鲫。因此，填入空格的名词应该用来指代the program。C项initiative可指“为解决困难或达到某目的而采取的新计划”，与上文的“德国绿卡计划”完全相符，故为答案。A项adventure“冒险”与文中要表达的含义相差甚远，德国并没有认为他们的绿卡计划是个冒险的项目。B项response“回应”和D项impulse“冲动”代入句中后分别表示“回应会失败”、“冲动会失败”，句意不通。
