问题     Back in the day, a good report card earned you a parental pat on the back, but now it could be money in your pocket. Experiments with cash incentives(激励)for students have been catching on in public-school districts across the country, and so has the debate over whether they are a【S1】______tool for hard-to-motivate students.
    According to a study【S2】______today by the social-policy research group MDRC, a non-profit organization, cash incentives combined with counseling offered "real hope" to low-income and nontraditional students at two Louisiana community colleges.
    The program【S3】______by the Louisiana Department of Social Services and the Louisiana Workforce Commission was simple: enroll in college at least half-time,【S4】______at least a C average and earn 1,000 a semester for up to two terms. Participants, who were randomly【S5】______, were 30% more likely to register for a second semester than were students who were not offered the supplemental financial【S6】______. And the participants who were first offered cash incentives in spring 2004--and thus whose progress was tracked for longer than that of subsequent groups before Hurricane Katrina【S7】______forced researchers to suspend the survey for several months in August 2005--were also more likely than their peers to be enrolled in college a year after they had finished the two-term program.
    Students offered cash incentives in the Louisiana program earned more【S8】______and were more likely to attain a C average than were nonparticipants. And they showed psychological【S9】______too, reporting more positive feelings about themselves and their abilities to【S10】______their goals for the future.

A)maintain      B)brilliant      C)cooperative   D)claim       E)aid
F)selected      G)retain         H)abruptly      I)credits     J)fulfilled
K)benefits      L)accomplish     M)released      N)naturally   O)funded [br] 【S7】
选项
答案 H
解析 此处应为副词，卡特里娜飓风属于自然灾害，其发生本身具有突然性。所以，在语义上，此处应该是表示“突然”迫使研究中断数月之久，abruptly(突然地)符合文意。
