问题     It’s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity(多样化)is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate(公司的)leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn’t occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.
    Likewise, I don’t hear people in the academy saying "Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy(不拘一格选人才)"(which was never true--we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now , all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media--not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.
It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
选项 A、meritocracy can never be realized without diversity
B、American political circles will not accept diversity
C、it is unlikely that diversity will occur in the U. S. media
D、minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity
答案A
解析 文章第二段中，作者叙述了和一个非洲美国人交际的情况，那个教授说她刚到大学任教时，校园里少数民族学生很少，而现在规模已扩大了一倍。因为实行多样化每个人都感到很好。从中可以推断出：没有多样化，不拘一格降人才是绝对不可能实现的。故选项A为正确答案。
