A number of colleges and universities have announced steep tuitio increases for next year much steeper than the current,very low rate of inflation. They say the increases are needed because of a loss in value of university endowments' heavily investing in common __1__stock. I am skeptical. A business firm chooses the price that maximizes its net revenues, irrespective fluctuations in income; and increasingly the __2__outlook of universities in the United States is indistinguishable from those of __3__business firms. The rise in tuitions may reflect the fact economic uncertainty __4__increases the demand for education. The biggest cost of being in the school is foregoing income from a job (this is primarily a factor in __5__graduate and professional-school tuition); the poor one' s job prospects, __6__the more sense it makes to reallocate time from the job market to education,in order to make oneself more marketable.
The ways which universities make themselves attractive to students __7__include soft majors, student evaluations of teachers, giving students a governance role, and eliminate required courses. __8__Sky-high tuitions have caused universities to regard their students as customers. Just as business firms sometimes collude to shorten the __9__rigors of competition, universities collude to minimize the cost to them of the athletes whom they recruit in order to stimulate alumni donations, so the best athletes now often bypass higher education in order to obtain salaries earlier from professional teams. And until they were stopped by the antitrust authorities,the Ivy League schools colluded to limit competition for the best students, by agreeing not to award scholarships on the basis of merit rather than purely of need-just like business firms agreeing not to give discounts on their best __10__customer.
答案及解析:
1. investing應改為invested。
這裡說“投資於”普通股中的捐贈金價值損失慘重，既然是投資，就是指人去投資，即endowments (that were)heavily invested in.括號內的部分是被省略的部分，本句形式上是主動，實際意義上為被動，因此應該把investing改為invested，否則邏輯上和語法上都是說不通的。
2. 在irrespective和fluctuations之間加上介詞of。irrespectiveOf是一固定用法，意指“不論，不管，不顧，”等，如：irrespectiveOfthecost不惜工本，irrespective of the consequences不顧後果，irrespective of duty status不論職位高低。此處指公司不顧收入的波動變化。
3. 把those改為that。本句的後半部分主要強調的是大學裡的“看法或觀點”(outlook)與企業公司的看法或觀點不一樣，即著眼點在於對兩種
不同團體看法的對比。既然前面用的是單數形式，後面也應用單數形式，基本語法規則是前後應一致，本句為代詞those的誤用，所以應把
those改為that。
4.在fact和economic之間力口上關係代詞that。這是一個同位語從語，that在同位語從句中是不能省略的，否則就很可能出現意思所指不清的
麻煩，所以此處必須加上關係代詞that。
5.把定冠詞the去掉。定冠詞與一名詞連用，表示某個或某些特定的人或物或機構等，而此處的in the school，一則意思不清，二則可能指在某人正在某個具體學校做某事。這一層意思與本文上下文不相吻合。比較之下，inschool是一固定說法，表示“在上學或求學”、“在校讀書”正符合本文上下文的意思。因此應把定冠詞去掉。
6.把形容詞poor改為其比較級poorer。這句中的poor與後面的more形成一對比較關係，表示“越……越……”，根據這一思路，我們應把形容詞poor改為其比較級poorer，以表達一種對稱關係。
7.在ways和which之間加上一個介詞in。在ways和which之間加上一個介詞in，表示in these ways，即指通過前面提到的`這些方法。相似的句子較多，如：Not all sounds made by animals serve as language，and we have only to turn to that extra ordinary discovery of echo-location in bats to see a case in which the voice plays a strictly utilitarian role.(動物發出的聲音並不是都能當作語言，因此我們只好求助於蝙蝠回聲定位的這種非凡的發展，探究一下語音在何種情況下起著絕對有用的作用。)
8.這裡應該用動詞的—lng形式，即eliminating，以便使句型結構與前面的giving(students a governance role)保持一致，否則句子結構和意思都顯得不正確。
9.將shorten(縮短;使變短)改為reduce或weaken。此處屬於用詞不當。應將shorten(縮短;使變短)改為reduce(使精神垮下來;使身體弱)或weaken(使削弱;使衰減)，可表示文中所表示的“減弱競爭的殘酷性”。
10.將to give discounts on改為to give discounts to their best customer。
意為實業公司給最好的客戶提供優惠。而give discount on something則指就某一商品打折扣，顯然與本文的上下文是相悖的。因為本文一直在討論就如何避免為搶最好的生源而展開惡性競爭，為搶好學生捉供優厚獎學金，與公司為搶客源，給最好的客戶提供優惠道理是一樣的。所以應做上述改動。
