___66___ green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and ___67___
that they would issue 20,000 in the first year. ___68___, the Germans expected that tens of
thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the ___69___ would have to

culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange

B)。A) fact“事实”;C) truth“真相”;D) reason“原因”。其他三项都不如result

其他选项A) smell“闻”;B) listen“听”;D) see“看”都不合适,意思上讲不通。
20.【答案】D) target“目标”。这里考查点是原词复现,文中说当你达到一周五天、每天
30分钟的步行目标后,你就可以给自己设新的目标了。前一句中出现了 target,所以
此处应该选D)。
