Is Stanford still a university? The Wall 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.
【C17】
选项
A、if
B、so
C、though
D、unless
答案
C
解析
上文提到斯坦福曾经为社会输出了大批优秀人才。空格后表明现在斯坦福似乎依然能培养出人才,下句是对本句的进一步说明。本段第三句But表明语义转折,所以此空格处应填入表示语义让步的并列连词,C项though“虽然,尽管”符合语义逻辑。A项if“假如”,引导条件状语从句,这种语义关系不合逻辑。B项so“所以”表因果关系。D项unless“除非”相当于if…not,表示唯一条件,也不符合逻辑。
