Despite the success of the experiment, the actual results are worrisome, and mostly【C7】______ earlier studies. The organizers of the experiment concluded that far fewer students were achieving at high levels on a critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or quantitative literacy. And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation.

A) accurately I) predominance

G) monopolized O) standardized H) outcome [br] 【C3】
选项
答案
E
解析
空格前为动词fallen,空格后为时间状语,故本空需要填入一个副词。结合句意可知,空格处应填入一个表示百分比下降幅度的词。备选项中只有drastically(彻底地,大幅度地)符合句意,故答案为E。
