选项 A、little
B、nothing
C、plenty
D、enough

答案C

解析 此处的语境为:他们的苦衷是,不教大学生进行写作,他们仅教自己的学科就够忙的了,而不是没有事做。故little、nothing两项首先排除,剩下两项都有充足的意思,可进一步考虑。"plenty"的英语解释为:a more than adequate number,quantity,or amount,a full supply,enough and to spate,即过多,太多。"enough"英文释义为:a quantity that satisfies desire,is adequate to the want,or is equal to the power,即足够,能满足。在这里谈抱怨,说他们要做的应该说太多了,多得做不完,"plenty"与此相符,正确。
