　　Many students today display a disturbing willingness to choose academic institutions, fields of study and careers in the basis of __1__earning potential. In an extensive 1989 survey of college students nationwide, 72 percent of students reported that their primary objective to attending college was to make more money upon graduation. __2__

At Duke, economy is __5__now the most popular major, attracting nearly 15 percent of the undergraduates, and history majors comprise only 5 percent of undergraduate __6__population. Thirty years ago the situation was reversed, with economic and business administration majors together consisting 8.7 percent of __7__undergraduates and almost 12 percent of undergraduates declared __8__

themselves history majors. The number of English majors has also decreased,

from 9 percent in 1969 to 5.5 percent today.Degrees in economics are marketed and likely to garner their holders __9__of high salaries without the added effort of medical or law school. __10__And given the objectives of current college students, such options are attractive.

　　答案及解析:

　　1.in--on

　　词组on the basis of 中须用介词on而不是in。

　　2.to(attending)--in/of

　　不要将objective和objective相混淆，object后需加介词to，但这里应用in或者of表示“上大学的目标是……”。

　　3.critically--critical

　　thinking在这里已变成名词，因此前面应该用形容词critical来修饰，表示“批判性思维”。

　　4.^attributed--been

　　attribute作动词时是及物动词，通常的搭配是 to attribute sth to sth，因此这里应使用被动语态，加上been。

　　5.economy--economics

　　economy表示一个国家的“经济”，而economics才表示“经济学”，因此这里应使用economics。

　　6.and--while/but

　　and表示顺接，而这里缺少的是一个表示对比的连词，因为历史系学生和经济系学生在人数上形成很大对比，所以应改and 为while或者but。

　　7.consisting--comprising/constituting或者 consisting^--of

　　consist的意思是“包括，由……组成”，一般要与介词of连用，而comprise或者constitute则表示“组成……”，而且不需要与of连用。

　　8.declared--declaring

　　“almost 12 percent of undergraduates declared themselves history majors”和“economic and business administration majors together consisting 8.7 percent of undergraduates"应是并列结构跟随介词with，所以这里应将declared变为declaring，与前面的分句保持形式上的一致。

　　9.marketed--marketable

　　原句的意思是“经济学的文凭是有市场的，有销路的”，所以应该是marketable。

　　10.of(high salaries)--/

　　garner后面不需加介词of，直接说garner sth即可。
