问题     Everyone knows how to get to Carnegie Hall: practice, practice, practice. But what about how to get into the nation’s most honorable university?
    For【C1】________high-school students today, the【C2】________ for getting into that school can seem just as simple. The conventional wisdom is that keeping your head down【C3】________the single-minded pursuit of qualifications is the path to【C4】________. It makes every election for every tiny organization a heated battle and makes classes almost a second choice. Every hour not spent in class is spent building a【C5】________resume: student council, National Honor Society, captaining the football teams, and joining a dozen other student organizations. Of course, that isn’t to say that a 4.0 of Advanced placement classes isn’t still【C6】________.
    Do all of that【C7】________you’ll get into Harvard, right? Well…
    "We could fill our class twice over with those students," Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust said. That means admissions officers rely on things like interesting essays or particularly unusual recommendations to decide who【C8】________the 5.9 percent of candidates who get in.
    Faust’s top tip for【C9】________a Harvard man or woman: "Make your children interesting! "
    For parents and students【C10】________, that’s both good news and bad news. The bad news is that of course it’s much easier to say that than to actually make it happen,【C11】________. Faust recommended encouraging children to【C12】________their passions as a way to develop an interesting personality. It’s much easier to complete a checklist, however【C13】________, than to actually be interesting.
    【C14】________the good news is that when colleges use this set of【C15】________, kids can focus on shaping their teenage years in a way that isn’t just about trying to【C16】________resume line after resume line, and【C17】________ focus on a more whole sense of self That seems like a far more【C18】________way to move through high school than spreading oneself too thin trying to get a lot of positions one can’t really ever【C19】________. That encourages an inferior approach to learning and society that is just the【C20】________of what the liberal arts have traditionally tried to encourage.
【C9】
选项 A、appreciating
B、tutoring
C、disciplining
D、raising
答案D
解析 引号中your children表明哈佛校长所给建议(tip)的对象是学生家长。D项raising的原形raise有“养育”之意，可满足家长与孩子间的语义逻辑，故正确。Faust给出“让你的孩子变得有趣”这一建议是为了让父母能更好地指导孩子进入哈佛，而不是出于让父母“欣赏”(A项appreciating)自己的孩子。B项tutoring“辅导”一般指教师课外对学生的补习工作，通常不是父母所做的事情。C项disciplining“训导，惩戒”代入后指对孩子纪律或行为上的管教，通常无法达到让孩子变得有趣的结果。
