11、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 perfectsoluti on to its econo mic problems ”,后文说 “ the Germa ns had decided that they，too,

12、 n eeded 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

13、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 some one to do someth ing through （ ofte n false orexaggerated） promises or persuasio n,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 conf

14、er 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

15、。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

16、its economic problems 相符。12、 B “ It'snot 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

17、。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 orcon sideratio n。17、 C 德国人只关注引进人才， all about意为“关于 的一切” ，“That' 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
