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.
【C9】
选项
A、definitely
B、rarely
C、financially
D、simultaneously
答案
C
解析
该句空格处需要填副词,作为该句中的状语修饰空格前动词succeed。空格所在句的句意为:“这意味着精英学校的学生即便攻读学术性专业。仍能________取得成功”。本句旨在说明名校学生即使学习学术性专业,仍然享有优势。在首段第二句提到过名校学生的优势,elite universities tend to produce higher-earning graduates than less selective institutions do (相比非精英学校,精英学校的毕业生收入往往更高),即精英学校毕业生收入更高是其优势之一。四个选项中只有C项financially(经济上)与“收入”这一话题相关,符合句意,故为正确选项。A项definitely“肯定地”代入空格处,即“名校学生即便攻读学术性专业,也必定会取得成功”,该说法过于绝对,故排除;B项rarely“很少”代入空格处,即 “名校学生即便攻读学术性专业,也很少会取得成功”,这与文意矛盾,故排除;D项simultaneously意为“同时”,强调动作同时发生,而本句话与时间无关,故也可排除。
