问题     I have been teaching for longer than I care to say, and
always offer a course for entering freshmen. And I’ve
discovered something quite elemental: all young people
have knowledge-thirsty minds that can be awakened and
encouraged to examine the world they inhabit in.【M1】______
    So why do we hear so many professors describe their
pupils so hostile to learning? I’ll stipulate the obvious:【M2】______
colleges want good students. Because by that, they【M3】______
generally mean highly SATs and GPAs. Sadly, this【M4】______
expectation continues at college where, as Harvard’s
Harvey Mansfield states, professors believe "that what
they’re doing the research on is exactly what students【M5】______
need to know.
    How best to get more students into college and get
them thinking? A start would be to abandon the
constrictions of academic fields. I know of a class that a【M6】______
professor invites the students to ponder human nature.
They cites Alexander Hamilton, who wrote that human【M7】______
beings are "ambitious, vindictive, and rapacious." And
then Thomas Jefferson, who held that "morality,
compassion, and generosity are innate elements in the
human constitution." This is a discussion worth of a【M8】______
college course, in which every one of us can bring
information and insights to the analysis. This can also
happen in the sciences. Thus there’s a geology course that
starts the professor saying, "After this semester, you’ 11【M9】______
never look at a rock in the same way again." Of course,
the students are expecting to put in a lot of hard work. But【M10】______
teachers like that make them willing to do it.
【M2】
选项
答案so一as
解析 词汇错误。describe．．．as．．．是固定短语。用来形容或说(某人或某事物)有某种性质，此处要表达的意思是“很多教授说自己的学生不爱学习”。所以应该用so替换成as。
