问题     The squeeze on university places is getting ever tighter. But what does all this mean for students? The Good University Guide’s John O’Leary explains that getting into university is going to be【C1】______this year. Of that there is no doubt,【C2】______the Government has slashed higher education budgets in England and【C3】______the 10, 000 extra places it sanctioned last year.
    But just how much harder? One vice-chancellor has【C4】______that 300, 000 applicants could be disappointed this summer. That may be【C5】______, but it would be no surprise for the【C6】______to pass 200, 000—roughly twice the number left without a place in 2003.
    We will have a better idea of the true【C7】______when Universities and Colleges Admissions Service publishes its first【C8】______statistics of 2010. Some universities are reporting【C9】______of up to 20 percent in the number of applications.
    If that【C10】______of increase continues, there could be 75, 000 more applicants【C11】______the time the places are【C12】______—a figure that Universities UK is now using. There are all manner of【C13】______built into such a forecast:early increases may not be【C14】______, for instance, and there may be a【C15】______rise in overseas applications which are not subject to the same restrictions as UK students.
    What we do know,【C16】______, is that more applicants will be chasing fewer places on current plans. There was an existing【C17】______to some extra places in the first year of degree courses, but even that will leave a【C18】______of some 6, 000 places in the summer. If Universities UK is right, there would then be 1. 5 applicants【C19】______every place, compared with 1. 3 last year. That may not sound much, but it would represent an【C20】______level of competition.  [br] 【C7】
选项 A、position
B、attitude
C、standpoint
D、sight
答案 A
解析 名词辨析题。前面有形容词修饰．本题应填一个名词。position意为“位置，状况”。这句话是说我们会就目前真正的形势有一个比较正确的认识。
