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."
【C18】
选项 A、average
B、mask
C、floor
D、surface
答案D
解析 从主语“偏见和怨恨”这一抽象概念和空格后的invisible(看不见的)可判断答案为D项surface“表面”，意为偏见和怨恨隐藏在表面下，不被人看见。below the average意为“平均水平以下”(A项)，偏见和怨恨的程度即使在平均水平之下，也不会不被人觉察，与invisible相矛盾。below和B项mask“面具”、C项floor“地板”搭配都指具体的位置，不能用于表示抽象的概念。
