问题     There are more than forty universities in Britain—nearly twice as many as in 1960s. During the 1960s eight【B1】new ones were founded, and ten other new ones were created by【B2】old colleges of technologies into universities. In the same period the【B3】of students more than doubled, from 70,000 to more than 200,000. By 1973 about 10% of men【B4】from eighteen to twenty-one were in universities and about 5% of women. All the universities are【B5】institutions. Each has its own governing councils,【B6】some local business men and local politicians as【B7】as a few academics. The state began to give【B8】to them fifty years ago, and by 1970 each university derived nearly all its【B9】from state grants. Students have to pay fees and living costs,【B10】every student may receive from the local authority of the place where he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay his full【B11】, including lodging and food unless his parents are【B12】Most students【B13】jobs in the summer for about six weeks, but they do not【B14】do outside work during the【B15】year. The Department of Education takes【B16】for the payment which covers the whole【B17】of the universities, but it does not exercise direct control. It can have an important influence【B18】new developments through its power to【B19】funds, but it takes the advice of the University Grants Committee, a body which is mainly【B20】of academics.

选项 A、essentially
B、completely
C、remarkably
D、comparatively

答案B

解析 语义衔接题。根据下文ten other new ones were created...(另外十所大学是通过将老的技术学院成大学而创建的),所填空格与该句在文中是对比关系,因此选择B(completely),构成completely new“全新的”。
