二轮完形填空讲练解析14.doc

完形填空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 US economy 1 during the 90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology 2 . But how? In the last 90s, the answer seemed obvious: Indians. 3 all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would 4 Indians to Germany just as America does: by 5 green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and 6 that they would issue 20,000 in the first year. 7 , the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the 8 would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later 9 half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was 10 .I told the German officcial at the time that I was sure the 11 would fail. Its not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy, 12 I understood something about green cards, because I had one (the American 13 ). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued, 14 it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The US green card, by contrast, is an almost 15 path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record). The official 16 my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. “We need young tech workers,” he said. “Thats what this program is all 17 .” So Germany was asking bright young 18 to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange landbut without any 19 of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was 20 received in India and other countries, and also by Germanys own immigant community.1、AsoarBhoverCamplifyDintensify2、AcircuitBstrategyCtraitDroute3、AOfBAfterCInDAt4、AimportBkidnapCconveyDlure5、AofferingBinstallingCevacuatingDformulating6、AconferredBinferredCannouncedDverified7、ASpeciallyBNaturallyCParticularlyDConsistently8、AquotasBdigitsCmeasuresDscales9、AinvariablyBliterallyCbarelyDsolely10、ArepelledBdeletedCcombatedDabolished11、AadventureBresponseCinitiativeDimpulse12、AandBbutCsoDor13、AheritageBrevisionCnotionDversion14、AbecauseBunlessCifDwhile15、AaggressiveBautomaticCvulnerableDvoluntary16、AovertookBfascinatedCsubmittedDdismissed17、AtowardsBroundCaboutDover18、AdwellersBcitizensCprofessionalsDamateurs19、AprospectBsuspicionCoutcomeDdestination20、ApartiallyBclearlyCbrightlyDvividly答案及解析本篇材料属于时文，作者通过与一位德国官员的交流引出主题German Green Card（德国绿卡）。文章分析了德国绿卡的起源、目的、特点，然后通过作者与德国官员的交流指出这种绿卡的弊端。本篇材料采用了对比法，通过将德国绿卡和美国绿卡进行对比，清楚地阐明了德国绿卡不成功的原因。考生如果对绿卡一词以及德国、印度、美国等国的相关背景知识有所了解的话对解题会有很大的帮助。另外，材料虽然是六级题，但并不见得就一定比四级题难，克服畏难情绪是做好题目的基础。从这篇材料看，文章长而不涩，生词量不大，长句不多，设空规范，但是选项设置的时候，对词义辨析的要求很高。1、A soar的意思是rise rapidly，指经济腾飞，快速发展。前文说德国“had a perfect solution to its economic problems”，后文说“the Germans had decided that they，too，needed to go the high-technology 2 ”，意思很明显，德国要模仿，因为德国也想取得如同美国般的经济快速发展。2、D go the high-technology route意为“走高科技路线”，strategy一词意思正确，但是不能做go的宾语。3、B 本题考查词义辨析。of all是“在所有的范围内”，after all表示“毕竟，终究”，in all是“总共、合计”，at all通常和not连用，表示“根本不”。这里要理清文句之间的逻辑关系，德国人认为吸引印度人到德国工作是解决问题的好方案，毕竟，硅谷中三分之一的创业公司都是由印度企业家掌控的。4、D lure，意思是provoke someone to do something through（often false orexaggerated）promises or persuasion，本句的意思是通过许诺和劝说使印度人移民。与后文的德国绿卡相吻合。import意为“引入”，表示“进口”只能和into或from搭配，kidnap意为“诱拐，绑架，劫持”，convey的意思是“运输，表达，转达”，都与题意不符。5、A 德国政府效仿美国是指效仿美国“提供”绿卡。6、C confer的意思是“授予，颁发（on，upon学位、头衔等）”，而根据上下文，德国政府应是“宣布（announce）”第一年发行20000张绿卡的消息，故confer与文章不符。7、B 德国人很“自然地”认为这一政策是有效的，tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come。specially和particularly均有“特别地”的含义，应排除。consistently指“一贯的，一致地”，不符逻辑。8、A 德国人很乐观地认为原来拟定的20000“配额（quota）”还会增加。9、C barely意为“仅仅，勉强”，by a small margin，是具备一定的否定意义的，符合题意。仅仅一半的绿卡被发放。也暗合作者的态度。10、D 在经过a few extensions（扩展）之后，方案最终的命运是“被废除”了。repel意为“排斥、驱除、拒绝”；delete意为“删除”；combat意为“战斗，斗争”，可与with或against搭配；abolish意为“废除，废止，取消”。11、C initiative意为action taken to resolve a difficulty，和solution to its economic problems相符。12、B “Its not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy，but I understood something about green cards”的意思是“这倒不是因为我在移民政策上有什么专长，而是我了解绿卡”。not that ，but意为“不是而是”。13、D 括号里面是补充说明前面单词one，即green card，美国版的。version（版本）符合题意。14、A 根据下文，德国官员没有弄清失败的原因，在此问题上与作者观点有分歧。作者的观点是：德国绿卡命名有误，因为它绝无可能转化成德国公民身份（translated into German citizenship）。即德国绿卡政策不可能成功，除非德国绿卡可以代表一种公民身份。15、B 分析德国绿卡和美国绿卡的区别，与此相反的是美国的情况：美国绿卡特有者若无犯罪纪录，可在5年后“自动”成为美国公民，automatic符合题意。德国绿卡和美国绿卡的区别即在于有无公民身份。16、D 前文说到argue，德国官员对作者的看法不予理睬。overtake意为“赶上，超过，突然遭遇”，fascinate意思是“使着迷，使极感兴趣”，submit意为“服从，认输，提交，主张”，dismiss意为“解散，解雇，不再注意或谈论”，理解为bar from attention or consideration。17、C 德国人只关注引进人才，all about意为“关于的一切”，“Thats what this program is all 17 .”意思是“那就是这个计划所关注的一切”，all over意为“到处”，all round指“周围，四处”。18、C 德国人说：We need young tech w
