40、合要求。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.chargeB.challengeC.describeD.expand 解析：解析：前两段反复讲到降低课程要求是为那些毕业后不准备(马上)上大学的学生做职业准备。因此，应该是为学生增加了职业准备。D 项 expand“扩大”搭配 that preparation，能表示相应的(职业)准备增加了，故符合语义和逻辑要求。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.chairs B.sponsorsC.scoldsD.exploits解析：解析：空格位于定语从句中，所需词应能反映 Jimmie 在委员会的工作或职责，A 项 chairs 作动词时意为“
