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.
【C14】
选项
A、potential
B、disposed
C、hidden
D、implicit
答案
A
解析
本空格需要填入一个形容词修饰investors(投资人),说明辍学创业的学生与导师的可能关系。文章首段对此有描述,如教工on the board等,因此A项potential“潜在的,可能的”为正确答案,表明导师是潜在的投资人。B项disposed只作表语,意为“倾向于,有意于”。C项hidden意为“隐藏的,神秘的”,强调不外露、不明显,如hidden illness(隐疾),hidden treasure(秘藏的财宝)。D项implicit指“(语言上)含蓄的,不直接言明的”,用在此处不符合语境。
