In an ideal world, the nation’s elite schools would enroll the most qualified students. But that’s not how it (1)_____.Applicants whose parents are alums get special treatment, as (2)_____ athletes and rich kids. Underrepresented minorities are also given (3)_____. Thirty years of affirmative action have changed the character of (4)_____ white universities; now about 13 percent of all undergraduates are black or Latino. (5)_____ a recent study by the Century Foundation found that at the nation’s 146 most (6)_____ schools, 74 percent of students came from upper middle-class and wealthy families, while only about 5 percent came from families with an annual income of (7)_____ $35,000 or less.
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". (11)_____ rural students, many colleges don’t try at all. "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. Kids in rural areas get a glossy (14)_____ in the mail.
Even when poor rural students have the (15)_____ for top colleges, their high schools often don’t know how to get them there. Admissions officers (16)_____ guidance counselors to direct them to promising prospects. 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。
