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。
