    The lists are said to【C1】______subjects such as law, art and design, business studies and drama subjects primarily【C2】______by comprehensives rather than private schools. Teachers accused universities【C3】______ putting comprehensive pupils at a【C4】______by refusing to publish their lists. Some【C5】______the lists were a filter(过滤器)that enabled the most【C6】______universities to accept more private school pupils than stale-educated ones.
    Private school pupils are three times more【C7】______to score the highest grade than comprehensive pupils, 【C8】______30% of the total number of "A" grades when their pupils【C9】______ for just 14% of entries.

    However, Wendy Piatt, director general of the Russell Group, said no Russell Group university block【C16】______any A-level subject. "University websites typically include details on ’essential’ and ’preferred’ A-levels to help students【C17】______their chances of gaining entry to competitive degree courses," he said.

Students would be well advised to take very careful note of such【C20】______. "
【C14】
选项 A、argument
B、conclusion
C、solution
D、assumption
答案D
解析 名词辨析题。由于John Bangs强烈怀疑是否有这样一份名单，所以他认为这份名单是建立在一种假设之上的，故assumption“假定，设想”符合句意。argument“争论”；conclusion“结论”；solution“解决方法”。
