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.
【C12】
选项 A、and
B、but
C、so
D、or
答案B
解析 上下文语义题。该句是对“作者确信提案会失败”做出解释。空格前的分句指出作者如此确定的原因不是因为在移民政策方面很专业，空格后的分句又说作者明白绿卡的一些真正含义，前后语义存在转折，且后者才是原因所在。B项but与前面分句的构成固定搭配not…but…，表示“不是……而是……”，正好强调后者，符合句意，A项and表并列关系，C项so表因果关系，D项or表选择关系。三者均不符合句中语义逻辑。
