问题     With a mixed feeling of pride and discontent, Prof. Mitchell sat on the front lawn of Prince ton High School, watching the Class of 2004 【S1】______. Her pride was for the seniors’ average SAT score of 1237, third-highest in the state, and their admission to famous universities like Harvard, Yale and Duke. As president of the high school alumni(校友) association, Ms. Mitchell deserved to 【S2】______ the tradition of public-education excellence.
    Though, she felt quite 【S3】______ about Blake, her own son. He was receiving his diploma on this June afternoon only after years of struggle. More often than not, the science teacher said he was merely 【S4】______ of C’s. Even at that, Ms. Mitchell realized, Blake had done 【S5】______ better than several friends who were not 【S6】______ at the graduation ceremony. They were headed instead for crash courses(补习班).
    "I said to myself: ’Oh, no. Please, no,’" Ms. Mitchell recalled. "I was so hurt. These were 【S7】______ kids. This shouldn’t have been happening."
    It did not escape Ms. Mitchell’s notice that her son and most of those less 【S8】______ classmates were black. They were the 【S9】______ of an accomplished school district’s dirty little secret, a racial achievement gap that has been 【S10】______ and left uncorrected for decades. Now that pattern may have to change under the pressure of the federal No Child Left Behind law.

                Word Bank:
A. absent                    I. hardly
B. pleased                   J. evidence
C. dissatisfied              K. bright
D. weakness                  L. enjoy
E. finish                    M. slightly
F. graduate                  N. recognized
G. capable                   O. present
H. successful
选项
答案 F
解析 根据admission to famous universities, receiving diploma等内容可以推断文章描写的是Ms．Mitchell在一个毕业典礼上的所想所感，而下文出现的graduation ceremony更是提示了答案为graduate。从语法上看，watch sb．do sth．，因此所填词应为动词原形，由于动词后没有接宾语，因此应该为不及物动词，通过这种分析也可以容易地选出答案。
