Everyone knows how to get to Carnegie Hall: practice, practice, practice. But what about how to get into the nation’s most honorable university?
For【C1】________high-school students today, the【C2】________ for getting into that school can seem just as simple. The conventional wisdom is that keeping your head down【C3】________the single-minded pursuit of qualifications is the path to【C4】________. It makes every election for every tiny organization a heated battle and makes classes almost a second choice. Every hour not spent in class is spent building a【C5】________resume: student council, National Honor Society, captaining the football teams, and joining a dozen other student organizations. Of course, that isn’t to say that a 4.0 of Advanced placement classes isn’t still【C6】________.
Do all of that【C7】________you’ll get into Harvard, right? Well…
"We could fill our class twice over with those students," Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust said. That means admissions officers rely on things like interesting essays or particularly unusual recommendations to decide who【C8】________the 5.9 percent of candidates who get in.
Faust’s top tip for【C9】________a Harvard man or woman: "Make your children interesting! "
For parents and students【C10】________, that’s both good news and bad news. The bad news is that of course it’s much easier to say that than to actually make it happen,【C11】________. Faust recommended encouraging children to【C12】________their passions as a way to develop an interesting personality. It’s much easier to complete a checklist, however【C13】________, than to actually be interesting.
【C14】________the good news is that when colleges use this set of【C15】________, kids can focus on shaping their teenage years in a way that isn’t just about trying to【C16】________resume line after resume line, and【C17】________ focus on a more whole sense of self That seems like a far more【C18】________way to move through high school than spreading oneself too thin trying to get a lot of positions one can’t really ever【C19】________. That encourages an inferior approach to learning and society that is just the【C20】________of what the liberal arts have traditionally tried to encourage.
【C5】
选项
A、formidable
B、comprehensible
C、respectable
D、reasonable
答案
A
解析
上句提到“每个小社团的选举都变成一场场异常激烈的战斗”,冒号后提及的加入“学生会”、“国家高中荣誉生会”以及成为“足球队队长”等都是有助于进入哈佛的途径之一。A项formidable“强大的,令人惊叹的”代入后指学生尽可能地为申请哈佛而准备富有竞争力的申请简历,故正确。学生参加社团组织,是为了打造更具竞争力或有说服力的申请简历,但B项comprehensible“可理解的”和D项reasonable“合理的”的简历并不突出其竞争力。学生的入学简历不是要赢得他人的尊重。故可排除C项respectable“值得尊敬的”。
