问题 Imagine a magazine that claimed to rank all of the year’s music releases in【C1】______order of " quality". No. 1 might be the【C2】______album by a popular hip-hop artist;No. 2,a Beethoven【C3】______; No. 3, a movie soundtrack; No. 4, an R&B collection. What an obviously silly idea! But it gets worse. Suppose the basis for these rankings turned【C4】______to be an arbitrary mathematical formula dreamed up by the magazine editors, and the data used to compute the rankings all came from the record companies themselves.
You would【C5】______the magazine in the wastebasket. Yet that,【C6】______essence, is a description of the most popular college rankings. They【C7】______up crucially important variations of different schools. They【C8】______on a magazine editor’s guesswork about the factors to consider, and they depend on information—much of it【C9】______—that is supplied by the very institutions whose ranking will determine their【C10】______.
Choosing which college or university to【C11】______is a very big decision. Think of choosing a college as the equivalent of buying a very【C12】______product. The " product" is a(n)【C13】______of services including classes, courses , academic advising, tutoring, athletic programs, entertainment, social experiences, accommodations and food. This complex package provides【C14】______four years’ worth of experiences, but also a way to future graduate schools or jobs, a lifetime network of friends and connections, and a lasting【C15】______and personal certificate. Whatever the【C16】______you actually pay, the value of that package of services may be【C17】______much as several hundred thousand dollars.
Making such an important decision cannot be reduced to a formula. So, having thrown the rankings in the wastebasket,what should you do? Start【C18】______asking a few hard questions about yourself and be【C19】______with the answers. What have you liked, and what have you【C20】______, about your educational experiences? How do you learn best? And the big question: how difficult will it be financially for you to attend college? [br] 【C7】

选项 A、take
B、pass
C、look
D、cover

答案 D

解析动词短语辨义。本句意为“他们掩盖了不同学校至关重要的变量”。cover up意为“掩盖，掩饰”，故答案为D)。A)take up“拿起；重新开始”、B)pass up“拒绝；向上递”、C)look up“查找”均不符合题意。
