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] 【C10】
选项
答案 D
解析 空格前是it’s，空格后是to do不定式结构，因此空格处应填入形容词作is的表语，或填入名词作is的宾语，构成“it is+名词／形容词+不定式”结构。根据上文可知，作者支持废除关于女性健康的不合理法案，而此处是说把女性放在第一位刻不容缓，故D)critical“重要的，紧急的”为答案。
