A recent【C1】________of 200 colleges and universities also found that more than 40 percent of all grades awarded were in the A range. Some argue that these inflated grades are【C2】________for the competitive job market, but at the national level it is a negative-sum game that【C3】________serious costs on society. Be-cause grades are【C4】________at A or A+, grade inflation results in a greater concentration of students at the【C5】________of the distribution. This【C6】________of grades diminishes their value as a(n)【C7】________of student abilities. There is also evidence that【C8】________grading reduces student effort.

A、consideration
B、discussion
C、control
D、attack
答案
C
解析
空格前的it指代上一段的“给分过高”现象,而上一段一直提到给分过高带来的负面后果,且下一句举的例子也表明这里是要处理解决这个问题。故选C项control“控制”,bring it under control表示“把它控制住”。
