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】______.

\\
1.【C1】(C)
A. adventurous
B. pessimistic
C. ambitious
D. imaginative
解析:逗号后for getting into that school中that school指代上段the nation’s most honorable university(由第三段可知指Harvard)。以进入此大学为目的的高中生算得上是有远大志向的学生,故C项ambitious“有抱负的,有雄心的”正确。
2.【C2】(B)
A. chance
B. formula
C. reason
D. demand
解析:第一段提问题how to get into the nation’s most honorable university,对上句的回答,故所需名词涉及进入该大学的“方法”。B项formula“公式,配方”代入后可对应下句所提的传统观点及其具体内容,满足语义要求。
3.【C3】(D)
A. for
B. with
C. at
D. in
解析:该句说明传统观点所认为的学生为进入哈佛而应做的准备,结合下文所提及的学生所做的各种努力,可推测短语需具有“专心埋头于获取各种资格”之意。介词in可与pursuit of组成in pursuit of“追求,寻求”的固定搭配,故D项in正确。
4.【C4】(C)
A. prosperity
B. fame
C. success
D. power
解析:is path to意为“是……的道路”,对于想进入哈佛的学生来说,能进入哈佛就是成功,因此C项success“成功”正确。
5.【C5】(A)
A. formidable
B. comprehensible
C. respectable
D. reasonable
解析:上句提到“每个小社团的选举都变成一场场异常激烈的战斗”,冒号后提及的加入“学生会”、“国家高中荣誉生会”以及成为“足球队队长”等都是有助于进入哈佛的途径之一。A项formidable“强大的。令人惊叹的”代入后指学生尽可能地为申请哈佛而准备富有竞争力的申请简历。故正确。
6.【C6】(A)
A. essential
B. decisive
C. eminent
D. objective
解析:句首的Of course,that isn’t to say暗含语义上的转折让步,由此可知上述各种活动不是进入哈佛大学的所有关键因素:a 4.0 of Advanced placement classes指“高中预修课程得到4.0的分数”,是学生在学业上的成绩。大学会依据高中生的学业成绩来录取学生,这是常理中的事情。A项essential“基本的,必要的”正确。
7.【C7】(C)
A. if
B. while
C. and
D. until
解析:that指第二段所提的内容和方法,you’ll get into Harvard意为“你将会进入哈佛大学”。两者间有时间上的先后顺序。故C项and符合逻辑和语篇要求。
8.【C8】(B)
A. accommodates
B. comprises
C. supervises
D. represents
解析:who引导宾语从句作decide的宾语,其逻辑主语是admissions officers,招生工作人员决定的当然是谁能获得录取资格,空格后表明申请者中有5.9%的人被录取。B项comprises“构成,组成”代入后,意为“构成申请者中那5.9%被录取的人”。
9.【C9】(D)
A. appreciating
B. tutoring
C. disciplining
D. raising
解析:引号中your children表明哈佛校长所给建议(tip)的对象是学生家长。D项raising的原形raise有“养育”之意,可满足家长与孩子间的语义逻辑,故
