问题     With a mixed feeling of pride and discontent, Prof. Mitchell sat on the front lawn of Princeton High School, watching the Class of 2004【S1】______. Her pride was for the seniors’ average SAT score of 1237, third-highest in the state, and their admission to famous universities like Harvard, Yale and Duke. As president of the high school alumni(校友)association, Ms. Mitchell deserved to【S2】______the tradition of public-education excellence.
    Though, she felt quite【S3】______about Blake, her own son. He was receiving his diploma on this June afternoon only after years of struggle. More often than not, the science teacher said he was merely【S4】______of C’s. Even at that, Ms. Mitchell realized, Blake had done【S5】______better than several friends who were not【S6】______at the graduation ceremony. They were headed instead for crash courses(补习班).
    "I said to myself: ’Oh, no. Please, no, ’" Ms. Mitchell recalled. "I was so hurt. These were【S7】______kids. This shouldn’t have been happening."
    It did not escape Ms. Mitchell’s notice that her son and most of those less【S8】______classmates were black. They were the【S9】______of an accomplished school district’s dirty little secret, a racial achievement gap that has been【S10】______and left uncorrected for decades. Now that pattern may have to change under the pressure of the federal No Child Left Behind law.

[A] absent             [F] graduate      [K] bright
[B] pleased            [G] capable       [L] enjoy
[C] dissatisfied       [H] successful    [M] slightly
[D] weakness           [I] hardly        [N] recognized
[E] finish             [J] evidence      [O] present [br] 【S7】
选项
答案 K
解析 这句话和下一句解释了Ms．Mitchell受到伤害的原因。Ms．Mitchell认为这种事情(没有毕业去上补习班)不应该发生，那么在她看了，这些孩子应该是聪明的孩子，因此答案选bright。选项中能够用来作定语修饰人的还有successful，这些孩子成绩不好，不能说是成功的，而不成功不代表着人就不聪明。
