问题     After visiting Widener University and learning about its program requiring 300 hours of community service in the surrounding poor city of Chester, Pennsylvania, Anna Miller told her father that she would not go anywhere else. Miller was looking for a college experience that was【C1】________on both meaning and action.
    "I was especially【C2】________to this program because it is much easier to make a lasting change in a community when you have the【C3】________of the administration of the school," said the 20-year-old from East Prospect, Pennsylvania. Widener is not【C4】________in its creative curriculum: a number of schools now include community service as part of class work.
    During the 1960s and 1970s, universities were often the【C5】________of student protests, characterized as ivory-tower institutions【C6】________the greater problems in society.【C7】________these days, many universities are【C8】________the forefront of encouraging students to【C9】________social change. "It’s very【C10】________. at all different kinds of colleges, from small liberal-arts colleges to big universities and community colleges," says Debra Humphreys, a spokesperson for the Association of American Colleges and Universities. According to a 2009【C11】________by the AACU, at least 68 percent of its members are including credit-bearing courses that【C12】________service learning.
    Colleges and universities are【C13】________community service with every type of subject. At the University of Pennsylvania, students can take an environmental-studies class where they identify sources of lead, gather samples of soil, dust, and paint, and map the risk of lead【C14】________in surrounding West Philadelphia areas. Last year【C15】________1,800 students elected to take at least one of the 60 "academically based community service" courses offered through the Netter Center for Community Partnerships.
    At Bryn Mawr College, math professor Victor Don-nay links math to projects【C16】________sustainability, like the savings from eliminating dining trays in dorm cafeterias. It’s【C17】________to see how math can be used to make a difference in the world, Donnay says. "As they did the projects, the【C18】________of effort they put in and their【C19】________for figuring out these problems was much higher than in a【C20】________class."
【C2】
选项 A、fascinated
B、pulled
C、attracted
D、charmed
答案C
解析 要求300个小时的社区服务的这一计划显然吸引到很多学生前来就读，空格后的because还给出了理由，故选C项attracted“吸引”，be attracted to sth.为固定用法，意为“被某物迷住，吸引住”。A项fascinated表示“使着迷，使神魂颠倒”，常用在be fascinated by sth.结构中。B项pulled(与push相对)指被某种力量“拉，扯，拖”；它也有“吸引”的意思，不过不接介词to。D项charmed表示“吸引，使人陶醉”，常带宾语或用于被动语态，后跟介词by；或用于be charmed with结构，表示“醉心于，给……迷住”。
