问题     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。
