Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of (36) talent to a nation in need of Ph. Ds. Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent. The (37) extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter of expert (38) guessing.  Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was based on 22000 questionnaires sent to (39) former graduate students who were (40) enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be (41) groundless.
    The dropouts rate was found to be 31 per cent,  and in most cases the dropouts, while not completing the Ph.D. requirement, went on to productive work.  They are not only doing well (42) financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates.
    Lack of motivation was the (43) principal reason for dropping out.  Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels of ability or their specialities. (44) Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation.
    Nearly 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, (45) but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination, uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams. (46) Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts, lack of finances was marked by 19 per cent.

选项

答案but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination

解析 此句主谓宾很简单:those cited failure。但是主语后面有定语从句who mentioned academic reason,宾语failure后面有不定式作定语to pass the qualifying examination。好在其中难写的academic一词在前一句中出现过。而failure to pass又在这句话的尾部再次出现了,所以真正需要听记的内容并不多也不难,关键在于把握句子结构。
