Harvard professor Harvey Mansfield stirred up controversy recently by criticizing the violent grade inflation at his institution, stating, "I was told that the most frequently given grade at Harvard right now is an A-." A recent【C1】________of 200 colleges and universities also found that more than 40 percent of all grades awarded were in the A range. Some argue that these inflated grades are【C2】________for the competitive job market, but at the national level it is a negative-sum game that【C3】________serious costs on society. Be-cause grades are【C4】________at A or A+, grade inflation results in a greater concentration of students at the【C5】________of the distribution. This【C6】________of grades diminishes their value as a(n)【C7】________of student abilities. There is also evidence that【C8】________grading reduces student effort. As giving low grades puts students at a disadvantage【C9】________to their peers, professors face strong【C10】________to award inflated grades.
【C11】________universities need to take steps to bring it under【C12】________. Recently, some universities have experimented with【C13】________information about the grade distribution for each course either online or on student transcripts. So, if employers are aware that grades in a particular course were high, they might be less【C14】________with the students who earned those grades. Thus, students might seek out tougher courses,【C15】________professors to offer such courses in【C16】________The administration of Princeton issued a【C17】________that no more than 35 percent of grades awarded in undergraduate courses should be in the A range. These steps may not be【C18】________with students and professors, but it’s necessary to prevent higher education from【C19】________into Lake Wobegon— "where... all the children are above【C20】________."
【C19】
选项
A、turning
B、looking
C、fading
D、converting
答案
A
解析
本段提到采取措施来改变在高校里普遍给高分这种现象,再从破折号后的定语从句“这里所有的学生都位于……之上”可知,这个Lake Wobegon是一种不好的东西,因此选表示“变成”或“沦为”的词,A项turn into“变为”符合要求。C项fade into“在……逐渐消失”,其后一般接抽象名词,而此处Lake Wobegon是具体名词。B项look into“调查”的施动者应为“人”而非“高等教育”。D项convert into“转化”通常指“能量”等的转化,用于指“高等教育转化”不合适。
