问题     When Paul Gorski, the founder of an organization called Ed Change, visits colleges and universities to advise them on campus diversity, he has come to see a pattern. Initially, schools are enthusiastic,【C1】________their full commitment to ensuring their campuses are【C2】________of racial, religious, and gender bias. They【C3】________participate in surveys that measure students’【C4】________of cross-cultural relations on campus. They【C5】________international dinners, sponsor diversity days, and spend weeks writing and refining diversity statements.
    【C6】________when Gorski begins to suggest the work that he believes really【C7】________, for example, reevaluating policies, reallocating budgets, and【C8】________challenging the current situations—they stop returning his phone calls. They【C9】________someone new, and they start again. Since student bodies turn over so quickly, it always looks as if the school is making an effort,【C10】________they’re actually just staying in the same place.
    It’s true that many colleges and universities make【C11】________efforts to recruit racially, ethnically, and religiously diverse student bodies with the【C12】________of creating an integrated campus where diversity is truly【C13】________for students, preparing them to work in a global economy and a society with different cultures. Some are【C14】________willing to fight affirmative-action【C15】________in the highest courts to get there. But, as Gorski’s experience indicates, some seem to forget that the admissions office is just the beginning of the struggle【C16】________an integrated campus.
    Of course it’s hard for a university or college to purposefully【C17】________problems that they’re not aware of. Biases and resentments are often suppressed below the【C18】________invisible to all but those directly affected. Gorski says that in 14 years on the job, his surveys have always revealed unresolved issues involving race and diversity— typically there’s a profound difference between the understandings held by different【C19】________with students of color reporting that racism is still a problem, while white students and higher-level officials【C20】________that there’s anything wrong. "Diversity day is for white people to learn about people of color," Gorski says. "Generally speaking, people of color don’t need organized opportunities to learn about white people."
【C1】

选项 A、complying
B、instructing
C、pledging
D、commanding

答案C

解析 由enthusiastic(热情的)可推知学校会尽可能做到不对种族、宗教和性别歧视。pledge a commitment“保证尽职尽责”符合句意,故选C项pledging“保证”。A项complying“遵从,服从”为不及物动词,通常与介词with连用,不能直接接宾语。B项instructing“指示,吩咐”和D项commanding“命令,指示”都无法与commitment“承诺;保证”搭配。
