32、ser scrutiny of tax dollars, there are signs that funds will be more (46) for activities closer to the heart of the academic mission. What about alumni giving? Certainly alumni will contribute money for athletic purposes in the case of a few successful universities, but the overall record for alumni
33、 giving exhibits no such pattern. A careful study of big-time schools from 1960 to 1976 yielded this (47) : Our statistical analysis has revealed that there is simply no relationship between success or (48) in football and basketball and increases and decreases in alumni giving. In the final analysi
34、s, (49) , the lack of any relationship between success in athletics and increased alumni giving probably matters a great deal less than the fact (50) so many people believe that such a relationship exists. /（分数：20.00）A.supportB.considerationC.reverenceD.hesitationA.agreeableB.appreciativeC.understan
