After becoming president of Purdue University in 2013, Mitch Daniels asked the faculty to prove that their students have actually achieved one of higher education’s most important goals: critical thinking skills. Two years before, a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no【C1】______ gains in such mental abilities during their school years. Mr. Daniels needed to【C2】______ the high cost of attending Purdue to its students and their families. After all, the percentage of Americans who say a college degree is "very important" has fallen【C3】______ in the last 5-6 years.
Purdue now has a pilot test to assess students’ critical thinking skills. Yet like many college teachers around the U. S. , the faculty remain【C4】______ that their work as educators can be measured by a "learning【C5】______ such as a graduate’s ability to investigate and reason. However, the professors need not worry so much. The results of a recent experiment showed that professors can use【C6】______ metrics to measure how well students do in three key areas; critical thinking, written communication, and quantitative literacy.
Despite the success of the experiment, the actual results are worrisome, and mostly【C7】______ earlier studies. The organizers of the experiment concluded that far fewer students were achieving at high levels on a critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or quantitative literacy. And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation.
American universities, despite their global【C8】______ for excellence in teaching, have only begun to demonstrate what they can produce in real-world learning. Knowledge-based degrees are still important, but employers are【C9】______ advanced thinking skills from college graduate.

A) accurately I) predominance
B) confirm J) presuming
C) demanding K) reputation

E) drastically M) signify
F) justify N) simultaneously
G) monopolized O) standardized H) outcome [br] 【C8】
选项
答案
K
解析
空格前为形容词,空格后为介词,故本空需要填入一个名词。结合句意可知,美国大学的教学水平很高,所以在全球应该是很有名气的。备选项中只有reputation(名声,名誉)符合句意,故答案为K。
