Everyone knows how to get to Carnegie Hall: practice, practice, practice. But what about how to get into the nation’s most honorable university?
For【C1】______high-school students today, the【C2】______for getting into that school can seem just as simple. The conventional wisdom is that keeping your head down【C3】______the single-minded pursuit of qualifications is the path to【C4】______It makes every election for every tiny organization a heated battle and makes classes almost a second choice. Every hour not spent in class is spent building a【C5】______resume: student council, National Honor Society, captaining the football teams, and joining a dozen other student organizations. Of course, that isn’t to say that a 4.0 of Advanced placement classes isn’t still【C6】______.
Do all of that【C7】______you’ll get into Harvard, right? Well...
"We could fill our class twice over with those students," Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust said. That means admissions officers rely on things like interesting essays or particularly unusual recommendations to decide who【C8】______the 5.9 percent of candidates who get in.
Faust’s top tip for【C9】______a Harvard man or woman: "Make your children interesting! "
For parents and students【C10】______, that’s both good news and bad news. The bad news is that of course it’s much easier to say that than to actually make it happen, 【C11】______Faust recommended encouraging children to【C12】______their passions as a way to develop an interesting personality. It’s much easier to complete a checklist, however【C13】______, than to actually be interesting.
【C14】______the good news is that when colleges use this set of【C15】______, kids can focus on shaping their teenage years in a way that isn’t just about trying to【C16】______resume line after resume line, and【C17】______focus on a more whole sense of self That seems like a far more【C18】______way to move through high school than spreading oneself too thin trying to get a lot of positions one can’t really ever【C19】______That encourages an inferior approach to learning and society that is just the【C20】______of what the liberal arts have traditionally tried to encourage.
【C13】
选项
A、unusual
B、meaningful
C、creative
D、daunting
答案
D
解析
however在此处意为no matter how“不管怎么”,可判断所需词与however一起强调checklist的特征。本句用对比的方法来说明to actually be interesting的难度。只有与之相比较的事情也具有很大的难度,才能突显出“变得有趣”的难度。D项daunting“使人怯步的,令人畏惧的”可表明清单的难度。故正确。
