问题 Why do most parents feel embarrassed when their children graduate from high school?
  
Much of a parent’s job is to provide the gifts of caring, love, and emotional support to children. (14)But one gift is beyond their reach: the resources to meet the financial demands of college tuition. For more than 54 years, the United Negro College Fund has fulfilled the dreams of deserving students by closing the gap between the cost of college and what their parents can afford. (17) More than 300,000 students have graduated from United Negro College Fund member colleges since 1944 and 54,000 more are currently enrolled. The oldest and most successful minority higher education support organization, the United Negro College Fund is a combination of 39 private, historically black member colleges and universities. Since its founding, it has raised more than $ 1.3 billion to keep the dream alive for needy families across the country. What is it that makes the United Negro College Fund so important to America’s families? (15/16) As well as raising funds and giving technical support to member colleges and universities, it creates hope and opportunity by providing financial assistance to deserving students. Consider the contributions of just a few of the distinguished graduates who have realized the benefits: civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ; opera diva Leontyne Price; Olympic track star Edwin Moses; and filmmaker Spike Lee.

选项 A、Fame and benefit.
B、Confidence and hope.
C、Encouragement and determination.
D、Hope and opportunity.

答案D

解析 推断题。选项A“名和利”,“名”不是联合基金的直接目的和结果,而必须通过联合基金的资助(即“利”)加上受惠者的天赋与努力才能取得。选项B“信心和希望”,文中有隐含而无明确表示。选项C“鼓励和决心”,这也可以是一种暗含的成功要素,但相对于直接给他们提供的经济资助而言,另一好处便是为他们获得成功创造机会。因此,答案为选项D“Hope and opportunity”。
