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.
【C6】
选项 A、essential
B、decisive
C、eminent
D、objective
答案A
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。上下文语义并未说明学生的学业成绩在哈佛的录取过程中起“决定性的”(B项decisive)作用。本段讨论进入哈佛的条件和方法，只涉及事实，而并不对“4.0的高分”做出评价，故C项eminent“杰出的，显目的”和D项objective“客观的”不符合语篇要求。
