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] 【C1】
选项
答案 E
解析 空格前是are，因此空格处应填入动词的分词形式与are一起构成句子的谓语，或填入形容词作are的表语。无论填入形容词还是动词分词形式，都应能与介词in搭配使用。上文提到，女性健康状况有所恶化，因此人们想要废除和替换掉不合理法案。那么空格所在句可理解为：国会的共和党人十正在疯狂地努力参与废除并取代奥巴马领导的政府实施的平价医疗法案(ACA)，故E)engaged“参与，参加”为答案。
