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.
【C1】
选项 A、soar
B、hover
C、amplify
D、intensify
答案A
解析 动词辨析题。文章第一句已经表明德国经济不景气(economic problems)，结合下文的they，too，needed… (他们也需要)，推测美国是德国学习的对象，故美国的经济形势应该是乐观的。A项soar。“猛增；高飞”常用于经济领域，可形容股价、失业率、成本等的“快速增长”，用在此处可体现出美国的经济发展状况好，符合语境。B项hover可指鸟类、飞行物等在天空盘旋，也可指因等待或彷徨等而徘徊，一般不用来形容经济。C项amplify可“扩大，(音量)放大”通常指放大声音或加大某事物的效果或力量；D项intensify “加强，强化”一般指在力度、大小、数量上等加以加强；二者均无法体现文中所要表达的“美国经济发展态势好”这一语义，故不选。
