问题     One of the most interesting paradoxes in America today is that
Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the
United States, is now engaging in a serious debate about what a 1.______
university should be, and whether it is measuring out. 2.______
    Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions,
it is asking — still in private other than in public — whether its past 3.______
assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, courses of study, are
really relevant to the problems of today.
    Should Harvard or any other university be an intellectual sanctuary,
apart from the political and social revolution of age, or should it be a 4.______
laboratory of experimentation with these political and social revolutions; or 5.______
even an engine of the revolution? This is what is being discussed privately
in the big clapboard houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard.
    The issue was defined by Waiter Lippmann, a distinctive Harvard 6.______
graduate, several years ago. "If the universities are to do their work," he
said, "they must be independent and they must be uninterested... They 7.______
are places to which men can turn for judgments which are unbiased by
partisanship and special interest. Obviously, the moment the universities
fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or
the moment they themselves give a hand in politics and the leadership of 8.______
government, their value as independent sources of judgment is impaired."
    Harvard’s men of today seem less troubled about personal, political 9.______
and academic purpose than they did at the beginning. They are not even
clear about how they should debate and resolve their problems, but they
are struggling with them privately, and how they come out is bounded 10.______
to influence American university and political life in the 1990’s.  [br]
选项
答案 engaging——engaged
解析 本题为非谓语动词误用。be engaged in表示“牵涉在其中”，engage也可以作不及物动词，但engage in sth．主动态表示“主动地去参与”，如：Even in prison，he continued to engage in criminal activities．此处用被动态较为合适。
