问题     The reliance on credit reports in hiring is becoming
widespread. A survey by the Society for Human Resource
Management found that 60% of employers do credit checks for at
least some positions.
    The use of credit checks is growing at time when the【M1】______
economy is making it hard for people to keep their records cleanly.【M2】______
Delinquency rates on loans have been arising, according to a report【M3】______
issued last week by the American Bankers Association, driven by a
weak job market and rising food and gasoline price.【M4】______
    The biggest flaw with the use of credit checks in employment
screening is in that it makes it difficult for many good people who【M5】______
need work to find. Employers who do credit checks operate under【M6】______
the assumption that having had trouble paying bills is a character
flaw, but there is scant hard evidence to back this down.【M7】______
    Many credit problems are due to factors outside of a person’s
control. Sarah Ford, an attorney with the Lawyers’ Committee for
Civil Rights Under Law, told a House committee last year which【M8】______
credit reports failed to provide insufficient context. "A credit【M9】______
report would not explain that a factory worker lost his job when
his employer went out of business," she said. Or that "a man’s
credit was destroyed so he was the victim of identity theft or a【M10】______
predatory lending scam." Or that "a woman lost her job and her
health coverage before developing breast cancer and incurring
astronomical medical bills." [br] 【M10】

选项

答案 so—because

解析 语篇错误。由上下文语义判断,句间逻辑关系是因果关系,前句说一个人的信用受损,后句说他是身份盗窃或掠夺性贷款诈骗的受害者。后者是前者的原因所在,故用表原因的连词替换so。注意,此处不能改为as和since,虽然两者都可以表示原因,但所表示的原因都是不言而喻、显而易见的,此处的因果关系并非能直接推断得出。而for表示自然而然地推断出原因,此处句意还不够明显,故用because。
