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] 【C9】
选项
答案 B
解析 分析句子结构可知，本句前半句为Whether or not引导的让步状语从句，空格所在部分为主句，且主句缺少主语，再结合空格前的these和空格后的谓语are可知，空格处应填入复数名词。上文提到了大幅削减女性医疗补助和保险的缺乏，对于支持废除并取代奥巴马政府实施的平价医疗法案的人来说，这些行为是对女性健康的攻击，因此B)attacks“攻击，抨击”为答案。
