Skeptics of higher education often complain that universities offer too many boring degrees with little value in the workplace.【C1】________elite universities tend to produce higher-earning graduates than less selective institutions do, you might【C2】________them to teach more practical courses.【C3】________data from Britain’s Department for Education show the opposite. Undergraduate students at【C4】________universities are more likely to study purely academic【C5】________such as philosophy and classics, whereas those at less choosy ones tend to【C6】________ vocational topics such as business or nursing.
What could【C7】________this seeming contradiction? One reason is that employers treat a【C8】________from a top university as an indicator for intelligence. This means that students at elite institutions can study bookish subjects and still succeed【C9】________. The median Cambridge graduate in a creative-arts subject—the university’s least profitable group of courses, including fields such as music—earns around £25,000 ($32,400) at age 26. Economics students from less elite universities, such as Hull, make a similar【C10】________.
Yet even though Oxbridge students can pretend to read "Ulysses" for years and still expect a【C11】________salary, they end【C12】________paying a large opportunity cost by pursuing the arts. That is because employers reserve the highest starting wages for students who both attended a leading university and also【C13】________a marketable subject.
Many gifted arts students would struggle to deal with numbers. But for those who can excel at both, the cost of sticking with the arts is【C14】________. Cambridge creative-arts students have A-level scores close to those of economics students at Warwick, but【C15】________about half as much.
Who can【C16】________such indulgence? The answer is Oxbridge students, who often have rich parents. At most universities, students in courses that【C17】________high-paying jobs, such as economics and medicine, tend to come from wealthier families, partly because such【C18】________ are more likely to have the examination scores necessary to be accepted. At Oxbridge,【C19】________. no such association exists. History and philosophy students there come from richer parts of Britain, on average, than their【C20】________studying medicine do.
【C4】
选项
A、normal
B、constant
C、unique
D、prestigious
答案
D
解析
该句空格处需要填写一个形容词,作定语来修饰名词universities。空格所在句的句意为:“________大学的本科生学习哲学和古典文学等纯学术性________的可能性更大”。由前两句“相比非精英学校,精英学校的毕业生收入往往更高,因此人们可能会认为名校的课程更实用。然而英国教育部的数据显示情况正相反”可知,名牌大学的毕业生虽然收入高,但在大学学习的课程并不实用;也就是说,学习纯学术性内容可能性更大的是精英学校的学生。四个选项中只有D项prestigious(有威望的,声誉高的)符合句意,故为正确选项。文中并没有提到大学正常与否的问题,故排除选项A项normal“正常的”;B项constant意为“不断的;恒定的”,填入空格处不符合句意,故排除;C项unique意为“独一无二的”,根据常识可知,大学并非独一无二,故也可排除。
