问题     Top universities have been called on to publish lists of "banned" A-level subjects that may have prevented thousands of state school pupils getting on to degree courses.
    The lists are said to【C1】_____subjects such as law, art and design, business studies and drama subjects primarily【C2】_____by comprehensives rather than private schools. Teachers accused universities【C3】_____putting comprehensive pupils at a【C4】_____by refusing to publish their lists. Some【C5】_____the lists were a filter(过滤器)that enabled the most【C6】_____universities to accept more private school pupils than state-educated ones.
    Private school pupils are three times more【C7】_____to score the highest grade than comprehensive pupils,【C8】_____30% of the total number of "A" grades when their pupils【C9】_____for just 14% of entries. But even the brightest state school pupils,【C10】_____a string of "A" grades, stand little【C11】_____of a place at a top university this year if they have taken one or more of the A-level subjects【C12】_____the banned lists.
    John Bangs said he strongly【C13】_____that there was a single unofficial list of banned subjects. "The list is built on the【C14】_____that these subjects are easier than others and not【C15】_____enough. " he said.
    However, Wendy Piatt, director general of the Russell Group, said no Russell Group university block【C16】_____any A-level subject. "University websites typically include details on ’ essential’ and ’ preferred’ A-levels to help students【C17】_____their chances of gaining entry to competitive degree courses," he said. " Most【C18】_____very clear and comprehensive information on required A-level subjects and which ones will not be considered when making【C19】_____decisions. Students would be well advised to take very careful note of such【C20】_____. "
【C9】
选项 A、consisted
B、comprised
C、reached
D、accounted
答案D
解析 固定搭配题。根据上下文可推知，本句意为“私立学校的学生仅占总入学人数的14％，但其拿A等级高分的学生却占得高分总人数的30％”。由此可知．空格处应表达“占有……比例”之意，accounted与for搭配，意为“占(一定比例)”，符合句意。consisted“由……组成，包括”，comprised“组成”，均不能与for搭配，故排除；reached与for搭配，意为“伸手去拿”，不符合句意。
