Thirty years of affirmative action have changed the character of (4)_____ white universities; now about 13 percent of all undergraduates are black or Latino.

选项
A、excellent
B、wealthy
C、popular
D、competitive
答案
D
解析
本题主要考查考生的词汇辨析能力和上下文的理解能力。根据上文可知,本文主要说明"精英学校"在招生方面的问题,所以空格要填入跟"精英学校"意思贴近的词汇,competitive"竞争激烈的"应为答案。选项excellent"优秀的"不如答案贴近文意,毕竟文章是说竞争入学问题;wealthy"富裕的",popular"受人欢迎的"同样与上文语义不贴近。
