31、中 that school 指代上段 the nations 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】（分数：2.00）A.chanceB.formula C.reasonD.demand解析：解析：第一段提问题 how to get into the nations 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
32、的传统观点及其具体内容，满足语义要求。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.forB.withC.atD.in 解析：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】（分数：2.00）A.prosperityB.fameC.success D.power解析：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 s
33、uccess“成功”正确。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.formidable B.comprehensibleC.respectableD.reasonable解析：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】（分数：2.00）A.essential B.decisiveC.eminentD.objective解析：解析：句首的 Of co
34、urse，that isnt 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 40 of Advanced placement classes 指“高中预修课程得到 40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】（分数：2.00）A.ifB.whileC.and D.until解析：解析：that 指第二段所提的内容和方法，youll 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
35、符合逻辑和语篇要求。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.accommodatesB.comprises C.supervisesD.represents解析：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 59的人被录取。B 项 comprises“构成，组成”代入后，意为“构成申请者中那 59被录取的人”。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.appreciatingB.tutoringC.discipliningD.raising 解析：解析：引号中 your chi
36、ldren 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，故正确。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.presentB.alike C.afraidD.nearby解析：解析：句子表明 Faust 提出的建议在 parents 和 students 身上引起了反响。B 项 alike“相似的，同样的”可作后置定语，说明学生与父母一样受到了影响。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.howeverB.though C.whileD.since解析：解析：空格后指出 Faust 建议家长鼓励孩子发
37、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。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.follow B.indulgeC.transformD.explain解析：解析：高中生满腔热情，要发展有趣的个性(develop an interesting personality)，就自然会其受其热情(passion)的指引。A 项 follow“跟随”代入后可体现此逻辑。(
38、13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.unusualB.meaningfulC.creativeD.daunting 解析：解析：however 在此处意为 no matter how“不管怎么”，可判断所需词与 however 一起强调checklist 的特征。本句用对比的方法来说明 to actually be interesting 的难度。只有与之相比较的事情也具有很大的难度，才能突显出“变得有趣”的难度。D 项 daunting“使人怯步的，令人畏惧的”可表明清单的难度。故正确。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.SoB.OrC.But D.Hence解析：解析：上文提到的
39、是 bad news。此句提到的是 good news，上下文之间存在着明显的转折关系故C 项 But 正确。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.convictionsB.prioritiesC.hypothesesD.criteria 解析：解析：第五段提到哈佛校长给出了“变得有趣”的意见；第四段也说到哈佛大学的招生工作人员会根据论文或推荐信(essays or recommendations)来录取学生，故可推断 this set of应指哈佛采用的录取标准。故选 D 项 criteria“标准”。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.put awayB.build up C.c
40、arry outD.take down解析：解析：第二段提到学生们以前的课外时间都用于打造入学申请简历，故认为此空格搭配 resume line after resume line 后具有“一行一行逐渐填写申请简历”之意。B 项 build up“逐步建立”代入句子后表示学生不只是用自己的行为来一点点打造申请简历。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.prettyB.instead C.onlyD.ever解析：解析：空格前表明孩子们之前只为打造申请简历而努力，而空格后却说他们致力于更全面地认识自己。B 项 instead 可体现孩子们选择另一成长方式，并且能体现本句中 isnt just
41、and所隐含的转折关系。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.reliableB.stableC.sensible D.incredible解析：解析：与 than 后面的 spreading oneselfpositions(分散精力来获得各种职务)相比，让孩子们全面地认识自己当然更合理，选 C 项 sensible“明智的，合乎情理的”。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.concentrate on B.believe inC.choose betweenD.account for解析：解析：结合第二段语义，可知 spreading oneselfpositions 指高中生们
42、课后分散精力忙于竞选学生会、足球队等各种社团组织的职位。换言之，对于诸多的工作，学生事实上并不能真正地专注，故 A 项 concentrate on“专心于，专注于”正确。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.advantageB.visionC.denialD.opposite 解析：解析：That 指代上句的 spreading oneselfpositions，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。What do Russias Be
