【C3】______the flag of success, modern-style, liberal arts colleges are withering【C4】______business schools are burgeoning...and yet even business schools are having an increasingly hard time【C5】______faculty members, because teaching isn’t【C6】______"successful" enough. Amid a broad consensus【C7】______there is a glut of lawyers and an epidemic of strangling litigation, record numbers of young people continue to flock to law school【C8】______, for the individual practitioner, a law degree is still considered a safe ticket.
Many, by external【C9】______, will be "successes". Yet there is a deadening and dangerous flaw in their philosophy: It has little room, little sympathy and less respect for the noble failure, for the person who【C10】______past the limits, who【C11】______gloriously high and falls unashamedly【C12】______.
That sort of ambition doesn’t have much place in a world【C13】______success is proved by worldly reward【C14】______by accomplishment itself. That sort of ambition is increasingly thought of as the domain of irredeemable eccentrics,【C15】______people who haven’t quite caught on—and there is great social pressure not to be one of them.
The irony is that today’s success-chasers seem obsessed with the idea of not settling.

Does it ever【C19】______to them that, frequently, success is what people settle for【C20】______they can’t think of something noble enough to be worth failing at?
【C12】
选项
A、behind
B、short
C、through
D、apart
答案
B
解析
本题考查上下文语义。空格处句子指目标高远的人没能达到自己的目标。fall和四个选项都能构成短语,fall behind意为“落在后面”;fall short意为“达不到标准,低于”;fall through意为“失败”;fall apart意为“散开,崩溃”。因此,B选项为正确答案。
