Skeptics of higher education often complain that universities offer too many boring degrees with little value in the workplace.【C1】________elite universities tend to produce higher-earning graduates than less selective institutions do, you might【C2】________them to teach more practical courses.【C3】________data from Britain’s Department for Education show the opposite. Undergraduate students at【C4】________universities are more likely to study purely academic【C5】________such as philosophy and classics, whereas those at less choosy ones tend to【C6】________ vocational topics such as business or nursing.
What could【C7】________this seeming contradiction? One reason is that employers treat a【C8】________from a top university as an indicator for intelligence. This means that students at elite institutions can study bookish subjects and still succeed【C9】________. The median Cambridge graduate in a creative-arts subject—the university’s least profitable group of courses, including fields such as music—earns around £25,000 ($32,400) at age 26. Economics students from less elite universities, such as Hull, make a similar【C10】________.
Yet even though Oxbridge students can pretend to read "Ulysses" for years and still expect a【C11】________salary, they end【C12】________paying a large opportunity cost by pursuing the arts. That is because employers reserve the highest starting wages for students who both attended a leading university and also【C13】________a marketable subject.
Many gifted arts students would struggle to deal with numbers. But for those who can excel at both, the cost of sticking with the arts is【C14】________. Cambridge creative-arts students have A-level scores close to those of economics students at Warwick, but【C15】________about half as much.
Who can【C16】________such indulgence? The answer is Oxbridge students, who often have rich parents. At most universities, students in courses that【C17】________high-paying jobs, such as economics and medicine, tend to come from wealthier families, partly because such【C18】________ are more likely to have the examination scores necessary to be accepted. At Oxbridge,【C19】________. no such association exists. History and philosophy students there come from richer parts of Britain, on average, than their【C20】________studying medicine do.
【C10】
选项
A、arrangement
B、amount
C、proficiency
D、qualification
答案
B
解析
该句空格处需要填写一个名词,作为该句中的宾语以及similar的中心词。空格所在句的句意为:“跟赫尔大学等次精英大学经济学专业毕业生的________差不多”。本句话空格前similar意为“类似的”,表明与上句话有比较关系。由上句话提到剑桥大学创意艺术类专业毕业生在26岁时的收入中位数约为25,000英镑,结合本句可知,两句对比的是不同院校毕业生的薪水;同时,这两句话是举例说明句,为了证明本段第三句的观点,即“这意味着精英学校的学生即便攻读学术性专业,仍能‘钱’途光明”。四个选项中只有B项amount(数额)符合句意,故为正确选项。A项arrangement(安排)、C项proficiency(精通,熟练)和D项qualification(资格)代入原文,均不符合句意,故排除。
