问题     The U.S. system of higher education is widely considered the world’s best. A college education【C1】________substantial benefits—about $20,000 per year【C2】________extra earnings over the course of a lifetime.【C3】________, according to a recent survey, 57 percent of Americans think higher education is not a good value,【C4】________they know how much it boosts earning power. And with the cost of many state universities【C5】________, the perceptions that college is too expensive for most people are【C6】________.
    Clearly, higher education officials must think harder about affordability—including not only more scholarship money but also lower costs and higher【C7】________One promising idea is the three-year degree which enables students to spend【C8】________. And they would have an extra year of work to pay the costs of education.
    There are many【C9】________approaches to the three-year degree: Schools can make it easier for students to【C10】________college credit earned in high school; they can fashion programs that【C11】________nearly four years of credits into three years, making use of summer and online learning; they can consider a more focused and streamlined curriculum. What all such【C12】________assume is that universities and colleges could make more intensive use of resources that often lie idle for much of the year under the【C13】________pattern.
    But up to now, only a handful of schools offered three-year degree【C14】________. Colleges and universities prefer to【C15】________the four-year model because of powerful economic incentives. Most won’t offer a three-year option【C16】________those incentives change. That may be starting to happen: The recent budget proposal by Ohio Governor John Kasich requires the state’s public univer sities to prepare【C17】________to offer three-year undergraduate degrees. It probably will take successful innovation by one or more large state systems to【C18】________change nationwide. Perhaps federal aid to universities or the schools’ participation in the student loan program could be partly conditioned on offering a three-year degree option. Today’s students have the ability to acquire and【C19】________knowledge faster than any previous generation,【C20】________technology. Higher education needs to catch up.
【C15】
选项 A、insist with
B、begin with
C、stick with
D、compare with
答案C
解析 根据下一句的Most won’t offer a three-year option(大多数不会提供三年的选择)，可以知道大学会继续坚持四年制，故选C项stick with“坚持”。A项insist不能与with构成搭配。B项begin with“以……开始”。四年制模式已经实行很久了，不是刚开始。D项compare with“比较”，本句的主语为Colleges and universities，不可能将高校与四年制模式比较，不合逻辑。
