In what some have called the new post-racial era, what constitutes discrimination is【C2】______. A new study has found that Americans think significant progress has been made in the fight【C3】______anti-black bias. But white Americans【C4】______that progress as coming at their【C5】______and that anti-white bias has become a more【C6】______social problem than anti-black bias.

Our recent research【C9】______that white and black Americans agree that bias against blacks was【C10】______in the 1950’s and 1960’s. And many Americans support the march【C11】______full and equal rights for all.【C12】______when blacks see such racism as continuing, whites【C13】______to see it as a problem that has been more or less "solved".
Many whites now believe that it’s anti-white bias that’s on a rise, to the point where it’s even more【C14】______than anti-black bias.

选项
A、expense
B、value
C、consumption
D、convenience

A
解析
此处的that progress指代上文提及的“反黑人歧视的进步”,再结合上文说“白人感觉自己受到歧视”,可推断此处表示反黑人歧视的进步是以白人为代价的。应填人“以……为代价”含义的短语。at one’s expense意为“以……为代价”,符合要求。
