Question

【题目】Recently there has been a heated debate on whether the university should charge a fee to the public who use its sports field. People’s attitudes toward it vary from person to person.

Many people think that universities should serve the public, not just their professors and students. In 【1】 opinion, universities are public assets—they should serve not only the students and faculty 【2】 the general public as well. If there are too many “outside” people on the campus disturbing the order, school officials should do something to control the crowds without【3】(demand) payment. In addition, the university has many other options to control public access【4】 the campus or sports field, such as giving free access cards to 【5】 (resident) of the closest communities, or rotating a limited number of cards between residents. Charging a fee is not a fair option.

However, opponents argue that universities are not 【6】(complete) open spaces for the public to use. They hold the view that charging a fee is the most effective way of controlling access and making the most value out of the university’s resources. A high fee would filter out most of the visitors who have no desire 【7】(use) the sports field for its intended purpose. Besides, universities and their assets are expensive investments, 【8】 (fund) by the government and the public, for the education of students and 【9】 (science) research. If members of the public 【10】(want) to use these facilities, which might cause stress on the university’s resources, it will make sense that they should pay a price. They also think neighboring residents have other options for recreation, such as public parks, if they do not want to pay money to use the sports field.

【解析】本文是一篇议论文。阐述了针对大学是否应该向使用其运动场的公众收取费用这个问题的两种对立观点及理由。

【1】根据前一句的主语是“Many people ”是第三人称，且空白处需填形容词性物主代词，故填their。

【2】根据“not only the students and faculty __2__the general public as well.不仅应该为和学生服务，__也应该为公众 ”可知，考查固定搭配not only...but also不仅...而且，also可以省略。故填but 。

【3】“without”是介词，后面不能跟动词原形，需用现在分词。故填demanding。

【4】根据“the university has many other options to control public access_4_ the campus or sports field大学还有许多其他的选择来控制外界人士进入校园或运动场地”access to...进入...（的方式）。故填to。

【5】根据“giving free access cards to 5_ (resident) of the closest communities向最近社区的__提供免费通行卡片”可知，泛指附近所有居民，resident是可数名词应该用复数。故填residents。

【6】由“universities are not_6_(complete) open spaces for the public to use大学不是__供公众使用的开放空间。”可知，此处需要副词来修饰大学的开放程度。故填completely。

【7】“A high fee would filter out most of the visitors who have no desire _7_(use) the sports field for its intended purpose.高额的费用将过滤掉大多数不愿因某个目的而使用运动场的游客。”考察固定搭配“have no desire to do sth不愿做某事”。故填to use。

【8】根据“universities and their assets are expensive investments, _8_ (fund) by the government and the public大学及其资产是政府和公众高额的投资”可知，学校是被投资的对象，所以用被动语态。“funded by the government and the public”作后置定语修饰“universities and their assets”。故填funded。

【9】“_9_ (science) research科学研究”“research”是名词，前面用形容词修饰。故填scientific。

【10】“ If members of the public_10_(want) to use these facilities如果公众人士____（想）使用这些设施”这是一个条件状语从句，主句是“ it will make sense that they should pay a price. ”从句中缺乏谓语，根据“主将从现”这一规则可知从句时态为一般现在时。故填want。
