An unusual characteristic of American university life is its competitiveness. Institutions of the same class【C1】______ for faculty, research funds, students and public attention. That Harvard and Stanford, for example, actively recruit and compete for students is quite【C2】______ to establishments(教育机构)such as Tokyo or Kyoto universities,【C3】______ an entrance examination determines all. It is almost【C4】______ unusual in most parts of the world for one institution to hire professors【C5】______ from another by offering a higher salary and / or better working conditions. In Japan, and to a lesser extent elsewhere, universities hire almost【C6】______ their own graduates. In-breeding is rampant—a sharp contrast with most departments in top American universities.
Institutional competitiveness has some negative【C7】______ —particularly if your university loses too many encounters with the market. The dark side includes too much movement by professional stars from one university to another in【C8】______ of personal gain, and a consequently lower level of institutional presence. Competition also leads to invidious(招人反感的)comparison among fields of study, with excessive【C9】______ within the university going to those subjects where "market power" is strong(computer sciences, yes; English, no). However, the benefits of American-style competition among universities outweigh the costs. It has【C10】______ complacency and encouraged the drive for excellence and change.
【C8】
选项
A、pursuit
B、light
C、terms
D、search
答案
A
解析
B项light和C项terms都不能加形容词,所以可以首先排除。in pursuit of sth.意为"追求某事物"(with the aim of obtaining sth.);in search of sth.意为"寻找某事物"(search for sth.,try to find sth.)。根据下文的提示personal gain,我们可以确认答案为A项pursuit。
