问题     There’s something rotten in the state of women’s health. As this article is being written in July, Republicans in Congress are【C1】______ in a frenzied effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) put in place by the Obama administration. At least 22 million Americans would lose medical insurance by 2026 under the latest【C2】______ of this plan—which includes large cuts to Medicaid—and lack of insurance means more sickness and death for thousands, data show. These cuts【C3】______ to affect women more than men— whether by removing basic health coverage, cutting maternity care or【C4】______ limiting reproductive rights.
    It’s time to take a stand against this war on women’s health. Current events are just the latest【C5】______ in a long history of male-centric medicine, often driven not by politicians but by scientists and physicians. Before the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993, which【C6】______ the inclusion of women and minorities in final-stage medication and therapy trials, women were actively【C7】______ from such tests because scientists worried that female hormonal cycles would interfere with the results. The【C8】______ meant women did not know how drugs would affect them.
    Whether or not the repeal-and-replace legislation passes this year, these【C9】______ are part of a larger war on women’s health that is not likely to abate anytime soon. We must resist this assault. Never mind "America First"—it’s【C10】______ to put women first.
A) absolutely I) omission
B) attacks J) required
C) common K) sharply
D) critical L) shifted
E) engaged M) threaten
F) excluded N) value
G) influence O) version H) insult [br] 【C6】
选项
答案 J
解析 分析句子结构可知，空格处位于非限制性定语从句中，且该从句中缺少谓语，故空格处应填入动词。下文提到，科学家担心女性的荷尔蒙周期会影响结果，那么空格所在句可理解为：为了避免女性影响实验结果，在1993年《美国国家卫生振兴法案》之前，妇女和少数族裔只有在最后阶段的药物和治疗试验中才被要求加入实验。故J)required“需要，要求”为答案。
