Is Stanford still a university? The Wail Street Journal recently reported that more than a dozen students have left school to work on a new technology start-up called Clinkle. Faculty members have【C1】________, the former dean of Stanford’s business school is on the board, and one computer-science professor who taught several of the employees now owns【C2】________. The founder of Clinkle was an undergraduate advisee of the president of the university, John Hennessy, who has also been advising the company. Clinkle【C3】________mobile payments, and, if all goes well, there will be many payments to many people on【C4】________. Maybe, as it did with Google, Stanford will get stock grants. There are【C5】________of interest here; and questions of power dynamics. The leadership of a university has encouraged an【C6】________in which students drop out in order to do something that will【C7】________the faculty.
Stanford has been【C8】________in this direction for a while. As Ken Auletta reported in this magazine a year ago, the【C9】________between Stanford and Silicon Valley are【C10】________. Federal Telegraph was started by a Stanford grad a hundred and four years ago. William Hewlett and David Packard started inventing things as students, as did the Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Stanford feeds Silicon Valley, and Silicon Valley【C11】________Stanford. You can’t have one【C12】________the other.
But what’s the point of having a great university among the palm trees【C13】________students feel like they have to treat their professors as【C14】________investors, found companies before they can legally drink, and drop out in an effort to get rich fast? Shouldn’t it be a place to drift, to think, to read, to meet new people, and to work at whatever【C15】________you? And Stanford has, in its day, produced a great variety of graduates: hippies, novelists, politicians,【C16】________dropouts, and, of course, athletes.
Now,【C17】________, it seems like all the countless identities are being included. Students can still study Chaucer, and there are still lovely palm trees. But the center of【C18】________at the university appears to have【C19】________The school now【C20】________a giant tech incubator with a football team.
【C8】
选项
A、heading
B、leading
C、running
D、directing
答案
A
解析
空格后的状语in this direction表示方向,所需动词需能与之搭配。head作动词时,表示“朝着……方向走去”,故选A项heading。B项leading作不及物动词时表示“领路,作向导”,用于抽象意义时,指在某项活动或运动中起主导和组织作用,而上下文并未提及有其他大学在效仿斯坦福大学的做法。C项running“跑”与 “斯坦福大学”不能构成合理的主谓关系。D项directing作不及物动词时指“指挥;做导演”,不符合语义。
