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.
【C12】
选项
A、follow
B、indulge
C、transform
D、explain
答案
A
解析
高中生满腔热情,要发展有趣的个性,就自然会其受其热情(passion)的指引。A项follow“跟随”代入后可体现此逻辑。B项indulge“沉溺,放纵”是具有贬义色彩的动词,与passion搭配不当。C项transform“改变,转变”代入后指学生需要改变自己的热情才能发展有趣的个性,上下文缺乏语义依据。“解释”自己的热情并不是发展个性的有效途径,故排除D项explain。
