问题     It’s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity (多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate (公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn’t occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.
    Likewise, I don’t hear people in the academy saying. "Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy (不拘一格选人才)" (which was never true—we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media—not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.
According to the passage diversity can be achieved in American society by_____.
选项 A、expanding the pool of potential employees
B、promoting policies that provide skills to employees
C、training more engineers, scientists lawyers and business managers
D、providing education for all regardless of race or sex
答案D
解析 推理判断题。由第1段倒数第2句可知企业expand the pool就意味着向more minorities，more women和more immigrants提供技能培训，而expand the pool对应的就是题干中的说的多样性的形成，D中的race和sex分别对文中的minorities和women，故正确。A泛泛而谈，没有说到点子上，不如D具体，准确；B与多样性没有关系，C是利用文中的有关职业的词拼凑而成的干扰项。
