问题     A trend among many colleges and universities is to offer courses that are slightly off the beaten track. Many of these courses draw their【C1】______from pop culture to sports, or they may be the 【C2】______ of professors who want to share their【C3】______ with students.

【C14】
选项 A、fill
B、fulfill
C、satisfy
D、cater
答案C
解析 动词辨析题。句意为：如果公路主题的电影不能满足你的反叛品位的话，你可以选择布朗大学关于美国堕落一代的课程，在课上，同学们可以参与讨论早期英美作家如何把他们的发源国赋予他们的怪异的、恶魔般的、异类的状态描写出来，并且在自己的文学作品中反映出他们对文化和身体堕落的渴望。本题考查固定表达方式，“满足品味”可以用satisfy one’s taste或caterto one’s taste来表达，故答案为[C]。fill“填充，装满”；fulfill“履行，实现”。
