问题     Everyone knows how to get to Carnegie Hall: practice, practice, practice. But what about how to get into the nation’s most honorable university?
    For【C1】________high-school students today, the【C2】________for getting into that school can seem just as simple. The conventional wisdom is that keeping your head down【C3】________the single-minded pursuit of qualifications is the path to【C4】________It makes every election for every tiny organization a heated battle and makes classes almost a second choice. Every hour not spent in class is spent building a【C5】________resume: student council, National Honor Society, captaining the football teams, and joining a dozen other student organizations. Of course, that isn’t to say that a 4.0 of Advanced placement classes isn’t still【C6】________.
    Do all of that【C7】________you’ll get into Harvard, right? Well...
    "We could fill our class twice over with those students," Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust said. That means admissions officers rely on things like interesting essays or particularly unusual recommendations to decide who【C8】________the 5.9 percent of candidates who get in.
    Faust’s top tip for【C9】________a Harvard man or woman: "Make your children interesting! "
    For parents and students【C10】________, that’s both good news and bad news. The bad news is that of course it’s much easier to say that than to actually make it happen,【C11】________Faust recommended encouraging children to【C12】________their passions as a way to develop an interesting personality. It’s much easier to complete a checklist, however【C13】________, than to actually be interesting.
    【C14】________the good news is that when colleges use this set of【C15】________, kids can focus on shaping their teenage years in a way that isn’t just about trying to【C16】________resume line after resume line, and【C17】________focus on a more whole sense of self That seems like a far more【C18】________way to move through high school than spreading oneself too thin trying to get a lot of positions one can’t really ever【C19】________That encourages an inferior approach to learning and society that is just the【C20】________of what the liberal arts have traditionally tried to encourage.
【C14】
选项 A、So
B、Or
C、But
D、Hence
答案C
解析 上文提到的是bad news，此句提到的是good news，上下文之间存在着明显的转折关系，故C项But正确。A项So和D项Hence表示的是因果逻辑，代入后表明此句提及的good news是上述内容的结果，这与文章逻辑不符。B项Or是表示选择的连词，不符合文章语义要求。
