Is Stanford still a university? The Wall 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.
【C7】
选项
A、endear
B、endanger
C、enlarge
D、enrich
答案
D
解析
第一段提到有十几名学生辍学到Clinkle公司工作,本段第二句表明如果一切顺利,很多人都会得到丰厚回报,包括教职工(详见第4题)。由此可推断出,学生辍学到Clinkle公司工作会对教职工有益。D项enrich“使……富足”符合语义。
