Since Microsoft became the first big foreign company to set up shop in Hyderabad in 1998, the southern Indian city has emerged as an IT center. But it has earned the attention of terrorists as well. On Saturday, Hyderabad was targeted for the second time in four months as two bombs exploded in crowded areas of the city, leaving at least 42 people dead and more than 60 wounded. Authorities blamed "external agencies" for the attacks, particularly Islamic militant groups. "We are not cowed down," Home Minister Shivraj Patil said at a press conference after visiting the bombing sites, vowing to take steps to eliminate terrorism.
【B11】____________________
The key economic centers of Mumbai, Bangalore and Coimbatore have all been attacked in recent years, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people. Since 2004, The Times of India reported Monday, India has lost more lives to terrorism than any country other than Iraq.

It also faces an armed Maoist rebellion that causes troubles in vast areas of territory across 16 of its 28 states, and that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called the country’s "single biggest challenge to internal security." In addition, several militant and insurgent outfits are active in the country’s northeast. Meanwhile, the disputed territory of Kashmir remains a time bomb of conflict six decades after independence.
【B13】___________________
The country’s benchmark Sensex stock index actually rose in the days following the blasts, its growth not restrained by the disaster. "The fundamentals of the economy are strong, and there is a high degree of resilience," says Viren Mehta, Mumbai-based partner at the financial services arm of accounting giant Ernst & Young.
In fact, the high-risk, high-return nature of India’s economy is part of the reason many foreign investors are here in the first place. "Investors have come in and stayed after factoring in the security problem," says Soumitra Choudhury, an economic advisor. "I don’t think small-scale attacks will affect growth in the long run."

"India is one of the most under-policed states in the world," he says, "the U.N. norm is for 222 police personnel for every 100,000 people. In India, it is 122 for 100,000. Moreover, rural policing has almost collapsed, so that those targeting cities are able to use rural bases without fear."
【B15】__________________________________________________
Retired Brigadier B.K. Ponwar, who heads the Counter-Insurgency and Jungle Warfare College in the eastern state of Chhattisgarh, points out that vast areas of the country are unable to attract investment due to various security threats. "Chhattisgarh has a wealth of mineral resources, but who wants to go there?" he asks. "The tea and oil industries in the northeast are barely limping along."
Even in its wealthiest cities, India’s poor can still bear the cost of its security lapses. "It is usually the poor who get killed in terrorist incidents, and the value of their lives is marginal," says Sahni. "That is why there is no effect on politics, economy or governance."
[A] Some have criticized the government for its underperformance in fighting against terrorism in India. But the government is not willing to admit it.
[B] But India’s grim security situation hasn’t hindered its growth. Since 2004—the same period considered in The Times of India’s terror report—India’s economy has grown by more than 8% a year, among the fastest rates in the world.
[C] Cross-border terrorism—blamed for most of India’s recent attacks—is not the only threat to India’s internal security.
[D] That may be a tall order, given that terror attacks are becoming more and more unchecked.
[E] Home to more than 200 IT multinationals today, its success has earned it the nickname "Cyberabad".
[F] Security experts do not share this optimism. Ajai Sahni, executive director of the Institute for Conflict Management, points out that India has invested dangerously little in its internal security apparatus.
[G] The security situation might well prevent the benefits of India’s economic boom from reaching its less developed parts.

选项
答案
C
解析
空格前是上一段,主要讲印度遭到恐怖袭击的严重情况。空格后讲印度还面临着毛主义者的武装叛乱、激进组织和克什米尔领土争议等问题,从空格后的also、in addition、meanwhile等表示列举的词看,空格后是在列举一系列的安全问题。C说到跨境恐怖主义并不是威胁印度国内安全的唯一因素,而后文列举的均是跨境恐怖主义之外的安全问题,即空格后的内容体现出了C的内容。同时,C中的Cross-border terrorism对应了上文恐怖袭击的内容,承接自然。故最终确定选C。
