Genetic privacy involves【C3】______ of the dignity of the individual. Is data accurate; can individuals【C4】______ their own files; can the donor correct inaccurate data; does the individual have control over which third【C5】______ are allowed to access? The American Civil Liberties Union【C6】______ that " the decision to【C7】______ genetic screening is purely personal" and it should not be "【C8】______ to control by the government. Yet patients’ records " are 【C9】______for sale," in the words of the New York Times.

Scientists working with the Council for Responsible Genetics have【C11】______hundreds of cases where healthy people have been【C12】______ insurance or employment based on genetic "predictions"? However, relatively few genetic diseases are【C13】______; most tests cannot tell us if a genetic mutation will become【C14】______. Federal rules for medical privacy(including genetic information)were announced in August 2000. While providing standards for the disclosure of bio-information, the rules require that the patient only receive notice, not give【C15】______; thus, there still would not be full patient control over 【C16】______information.

【C6】
选项
A、allocates
B、advocates
C、certificates
D、locates
答案
B
解析
形近词辨析题。句意为:美国公民权利自由联盟主张“是否接受基因筛检的决定是纯个人的”。由原句结构可知,空格处要求填入动词,故首先排除[C],因为certificates是名词,表示“证书”。[A]allocates“分配,分派”;[B]advocates“拥护,倡导”;[D]locates“探明,找出”。其中[B]advocates是答案。
