   Larson says that "There should be way stations along the climb【C6】______adulthood that allow young people to rest, gather themselves, and consider【C7】______The success of government, business, and private life in the next 50 years【C8】______it.
   Education, literacy, and versatile interpersonal skills【C9】______the list of necessary preparations for adulthood.

选项 A、aggressive
B、original
C、rigid
D、extraordinary
答案 D
解析 本题考查形容词的词义辨析以及对下文的理解。本句的意思是，“我们这个社会对年轻人有着非同寻常的高期望”。随后两句则较详细地介绍了社会对年轻人究竟有着什么样的期望。本句主语是“what we expect of young people”，是指社会对年轻人的期望。空格处需要的是一个做表语的形容词。4个选项均可做表语，但A选项用来描述人，而不是物；B选项“原创性的”和C选项“严格的，僵化的”虽然既可以用来修饰人，也可以修饰物，但都不符合句意。
