问题     Organised volunteering and work experience has long been a vital companion to university degree courses. Usually it is left to【C1】______to deduce the potential from a list of extracurricular adventures on a graduate’ s resume, 【C2】______ now the University of Bristol has launched an award to formalise the achievements of students who 【C3】______ time to activities outside their courses. Bristol PLuS aims to boost students in an increasingly 【C4】______ job market by helping them acquire work and life skills alongside 【C5】______ qualifications.
    "Our students are a pretty active bunch, but we found that they didn’t 【C6】______ appreciate the value of what they did 【C7】______ the lecture hall," says Jeff Goodman, director of careers and employability at the university. "Employers are much more 【C8】______ than they used to be. They used to look for 【C9】______ and saw it as part of their job to extract the value of an applicant’s skills. Now they want students to be able to explain why those skills are【C10】______to the job."
    Students who sign【C11】______for the award will be expected to complete 50 hours of work experience or【C12】______work, attend four workshops on employ-ability skills, take part in an intensive skills-related activity 【C13】______, crucially, write a summary of the skills they have gained.【C14】______efforts will gain an Outstanding Achievement Award. Those who【C15】______best on the sports field can take the Sporting PLuS Award which fosters employer-friendly sports accomplishments.
    The experience does not have to be【C16】______organised. "We ’re not just interested in easily identifiable skills," says Goodman. "【C17】______, one student took the lead in dealing with a difficult landlord and so【C18】______negotiation skills. We try to make the experience relevant to individual lives."
    Goodman hopes the【C19】______will enable active students to fill in any gaps in their experience and encourage their less-active【C20】______to take up activities outside their academic area of work.
【C9】

选项 A、origin
B、initial
C、popularity
D、potential

答案D

解析 考查词义辨析。origin“起源”;initial“最初的,开始的”;popularity“普及,流行”;potential“潜力”。根据本段最后一句Now后面的描述得知,原先并不是这样,原先只注重应聘者的“潜力”,其实“saw it as part of their job to extract the value of an applicant’s skills”也是一个佐证。故答案为D.potential.
