Is Stanford still a university? The Wail Street Journal recently reported that more than a dozen students have left school to work on a new technology start-up called Clinkle. Faculty members have【C1】________, the former dean of Stanford’s business school is on the board, and one computer-science professor who taught several of the employees now owns【C2】________. The founder of Clinkle was an undergraduate advisee of the president of the university, John Hennessy, who has also been advising the company. Clinkle【C3】________mobile payments, and, if all goes well, there will be many payments to many people on【C4】________. Maybe, as it did with Google, Stanford will get stock grants. There are【C5】________of interest here; and questions of power dynamics. The leadership of a university has encouraged an【C6】________in which students drop out in order to do something that will【C7】________the faculty.
Stanford has been【C8】________in this direction for a while. As Ken Auletta reported in this magazine a year ago, the【C9】________between Stanford and Silicon Valley are【C10】________. Federal Telegraph was started by a Stanford grad a hundred and four years ago. William Hewlett and David Packard started inventing things as students, as did the Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Stanford feeds Silicon Valley, and Silicon Valley【C11】________Stanford. You can’t have one【C12】________the other.
But what’s the point of having a great university among the palm trees【C13】________students feel like they have to treat their professors as【C14】________investors, found companies before they can legally drink, and drop out in an effort to get rich fast? Shouldn’t it be a place to drift, to think, to read, to meet new people, and to work at whatever【C15】________you? And Stanford has, in its day, produced a great variety of graduates: hippies, novelists, politicians,【C16】________dropouts, and, of course, athletes.
Now,【C17】________, it seems like all the countless identities are being included. Students can still study Chaucer, and there are still lovely palm trees. But the center of【C18】________at the university appears to have【C19】________The school now【C20】________a giant tech incubator with a football team.
【C15】
选项
A、criticizes
B、inspires
C、discourages
D、pulls
答案
B
解析
本句顺接上文,用反问句的形式表明大学本应该是什么样的地方。to work at whatever…you与to think,to read,to meet new people是并列的成分。本空格所在的宾语从句应指出学生在大学里应为什么而努力(work)。B项inspires“鼓舞”,常常带有“启迪,启发”的意思,符合语义逻辑。 把A项criticizes“批评”代入文中语义不通顺。C项discourages“使气馁”与本题语义相悖。D项pulls“拉”,指的是动作,施动若不能是whatever。
