Thirty years of affirmative action have changed the character of (4)_____ white universities; now about 13 percent of all undergraduates are black or Latino.

Many schools say diversity—racial, economic and geographic—is (8)_____ to maintaining intellectually (9)_____ campuses. But Richard Kahlenberg of the Century Foundation says that even though colleges (10)_____ they want poor kids, "they don’t try very hard to find them".

"Unfortunately, we go where we can (12)_____ a sizable number of potential applicants", says Tulane admissions chief Richard Whiteside, who (13)_____ aggressively and in person—from metropolitan areas.

In (17)_____ high schools, guidance counselors often have personal (18)_____ with both kids and admissions officers. In rural areas, a teacher, a counselor or (19)_____ an alumnus "can help put a rural student on our radar screen", says Wesleyan admissions dean Nancy Meislahn.

选项
A、acquaintances
B、executives
C、tutors
D、advisers
答案
D
解析
本题难度很大,考查词汇知识和上下文的连贯理解能力。根据句意"’但贫穷的乡村学校很少与这类咨询专家有联系,没有他们,录取就似掷双骰子游戏一样了(赌运气)’,卡耐基.梅隆的斯太德尔说",选项advise咨询人员,顾问"符合句意,为正确答案。acquaintances"熟人",executives"行政人员",tutor导师"都不够准确。
