Widener is not【C4】______in its creative curriculum: a number of schools now include community service as part of class work
During the 1960s and 1970s, universities were often the【C5】______of student protests, characterized as ivory-tower institutions【C6】______the greater problems in society.【C7】______these days, many universities are【C8】______the forefront of encouraging students to【C9】______social change. "It’s very【C10】______, at all different kinds of colleges, from small liberal-arts colleges to big universities and community colleges," says Debra Humphreys, a spokesperson for the Association of American Colleges and Universities.

A、different from
B、apart from
C、safe from
D、disconnected from
答案
D
解析
文中对During the 1960s and 1970s以及these days的大学的状况进行比较。根据下文“如今,很多大学鼓励学生……社会变革”,可推出以前学生在学校的象牙塔里,很少参与社会变革,与社会脱节,故答案为D项disconnected from“脱离”。
