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.
【C20】
选项
A、advantage
B、vision
C、denial
D、opposite
答案
D
解析
That指代上句的spreading oneself…positions,会造成一种更低劣的(inferior)处理学习和社会问题的方法。D项opposite“对立面,相反的人(或物)”代入后意为“此方法和文科长久以来所倡导的做法正好背道而驰”,符合语篇要求。A项advantage或B项vision代入后,分别说明这种低劣的方法是文科长久以来所倡导的“优点”或“展望”,这与语篇内容相反。C项denial“拒绝”代入后说明这种低劣的方法是对文科长久以来所倡导的内容的否定,语义也不符合句意要求。
