(它正在從依賴聲譽(yù)的指標(biāo)轉(zhuǎn)向?qū)W生的成績)”可知，未來，《美國新聞與世界報道》的本科排名可能會更多地關(guān)注大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的成就。故選C。DAfteraheavysnowstorm,Iranoutsideexcitedlytobuildasnowman.NomatterhowIrolledmysnowball,itrefusedtogrow.Afterrestingforawhile,Irestartedthejob.ThenInoticedIhadanaudienceaprimlooking(古板的)couplewithobviousdisapproval.MyfaceturnedredasItriedtoanswertheirunspokenquestion:Don’tyouhaveanythingbettertodo?Anadultplayingbyherselfseemsstrange,but’maybeitshouldn’t.Newresearchsuggeststhatmodernadultshaveignoredtheirplayinstinct(本能).Mostanimalsstopplayingasadults.However,thereareahandfulofanimalsthatneverstop.Onepossibilityis’thatadultplayisimportantandbeneficial,atheorysupportedbyastudy.ResearcherCamillaCennifromtheUniversityofLethbridgeleftsomepuzzleboxesforsomemonkeystosolve.Togetthefoodinside,theyhadtodroparockintothecontainer.Themonkeysthatpreviouslyhaddroppedrocksforfunweremorelikelytosolvethepuzzle.Thisfindingalsosuggestssomewhereinourevolutionaryhistory—aplayfulhumaninventedstonetools.Eventoday,theurgetoplayaccountsforsomeofhumans’greatestinventions.Adultplayisalsoaboutpreparingfortheunexpected.Andbiologistsfounditsmostimportantfunctionisimprovingrelationshipsandhelpingindividualsgetalong.Adultplaypromotesinclusivity,cooperationandcreativity—allqualitiesthatwehumanscoulduse.Unfortunately,socialnormsholdbackoururgetoletloose.“Generallyspeaking,weliketodothethingsthatarenecessaryforoursurvival,”saysPeterGray,aplayresearcheratBostonUniversity,Humanstookonegiantstepawayfromfunwhenwestartedplantingcrops.Plowing(耕)fieldsishardandboring.Thenweinventedfactoriesandlostsightofplay.”Withthreatslikeclimatechange,it’seasytogetintoseriousness.Butweshouldunderstandthevalueofencouragingadultplay.ThenexttimeI’mcaughtplaying.Iknowwhattosay,“I’mplayingforthebenefitofallhumankind.You’rewele.”12.Whydidtheauthor’sfaceturnred?A.Shewasconsideredtoooldtoplay.B.Shewasignoredbyaprimlookingcouple.C.Shehaddifficultymakingasnowman.D.Shecouldn’tanswerthecouple’squestion.13.WhatcanbeinferredaboutadultplayfromParagraph3?A.Itisthenaturalneedofhumans.
