问题     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.
【C11】
选项 A、however
B、though
C、while
D、since
答案B
解析 空格后指出Faust建议家长鼓励孩子发展有趣的个性(develop an interesting personality)。孩子受到鼓励，形成有趣个性的可能性就应更大。但空格前提到to actually make it happen的难度相当大，由此可知空格后分句应是让步状语从句，选B项though。A项however和C项while代入后表示分句间存在转折关系，不能表示让步。D项since连接表示原因的成分，逻辑不符合句子要求。
