问题     In the cat-and-mouse maneuvering over admission to prestigious colleges and universities,【M1】thousands of high schools have simply stopped providing that information, concluding it could harm the chances of their very better, but not the best students.
    【M2】Canny college officials, in turn have found a tactical way to response.【M3】Using broad data that high schools often provide, like a distribution of grade averages for entire senior class, they essentially recreate an applicant’s class rank.
    【M4】The process has left them exasperating.
    【M5】"If we’re looking at your son or daughter and you want us to know that they are among the best in their school with a rank we don’t necessarily know " said Jim Buck, dean of admissions and financial aid at Swarthmore College.
    【M6】Admissions directors say strategy can backfire. When high schools do not provide enough general information to recreate the class rank calculation,【M7】many admissions directors say they have little choice and to do something virtually no one wants them to do; give more weight to scores on the SAT and other standardized exams.
【M7】

选项

答案and改为but

解析 have little choice but to do意为“没有选择,只好做……”。根据前面部分提到的have little choice,可知后面所接部分表示转折的意思。
