America is one of many countries where the state gives a leg-up to members of certain racial, ethnic, or other groups by holding them to different standards. The details【C1】______. In some countries, the policy applies only to areas under direct state control, such as public-works contracts or【C2】______to public universities. In others, private firms are also obliged to take account of the race of their employees, contractors and even owners. But the effects are strikingly similar around the world.
Many of these policies were put in place with the best of intentions: to【C3】______ for past injustices and purify their legacy. No one can deny that, for example, blacks in America have suffered awful wrongs, and continue to suffer【C4】______. Favouring members of these groups seems like a quick and effective way of making society【C5】______.
Most of these groups have made great progress. At the same time, the downside of affirmative action has become all too【C6】______. Awarding university places to black students with lower test scores than whites sounds reasonable,【C7】______ the legacy of segregation. But a study found that at some American universities, black applicants who scored 450 points worse than Asians on entrance tests were【C8】______ likely to win a place. That is neither fair on Asians, nor an incentive to blacks to study in high school. The book "Mismatch" produces evidence that【C9】______ affirmative action reduces the number of blacks who【C10】______ as lawyers by placing black students in law schools for which they are ill-prepared, causing many to drop out.

【C7】
选项
答案
D
解析
空格前的句子结构完整,而空格后带了名词短语the legacy of segregation,因此可推断空格处填入介词或现在分词作状语。空格前表明“即使黑人学生的人学分数线比白人学生低是合理的”,空格后表明原因:黑人是种族隔离的受害者。given“考虑到”后接原因,符合要求,故选D。concern也有“考虑到”的意思,但填入文中应用concerning,故排除G。
