If sheer numbers provide any proof, America’s universities are the envy of the world. For all their troubles, the United States’ 3,500 institutions were flooded with more than half a million students from 193 countries last year. Asia led the way, with the biggest number from China, followed by Japan and India. Most European and Asian universities provide an elite service to a small number of people. While fully 64% of all U. S. high school graduates attend college of some point in their life, just 30% of the comparable German population, 28% of the French, 20% of the British, and 37% of the Japanese preceed beyond high school. Britains who pass their A levels may still not qualify for a top university at home, but find American universities far more welcoming. Some U. S. schools acknowledge the rigor of European secondary training, and will give up to a year’s credit to foreigners who have passed their high school exams. The conception that everyone has a right to an education appropriate to his potential is a highly democratic and compassionate standard, says Marven Breselor, a professor at Princeton University. True, not all U. S. students can match the performance of their foreign counterparts, but the American institutions do offer students from rich and poor families alike the chance to realize their full potential. " America educates so many more people at university that one can’t expect all those who go to be as intelligent as the much narrower band in British universities," says the professor Christopher Rakes at Boston University, "I’m not against elitism, but I happen to like having people who are more eager to learn. "
19. What does the speaker say about the America’s universities?
20. What is Americans’ view on education according to Professor Marven Breselor?
21. What do we learn from Professor Christopher Rakes’ remark?
选项
A、They offer students a wide variety of courses.
B、They attract students from all over the world.
C、They admit more students than they can handle.
D、They have trouble dealing with overseas students.
答案
B
解析
四个选项均是以They开头的句子,宾语都是students,根据A)中的offer…courses可推测They指的可能是学校;代人B)选项也成立;因此该题考查的是某些学校的学生情况。短文中指出“尽管这些大学也存在着一些问题,去年美国的3500所大学吸引了来自全球193个国家的50多万名学生”,be flooded with意为“充斥”,暗指学生如潮水般涌入美国大学,也就是说,美国大学吸引了来自世界各地的学生。短文中的troubles并非指学生太多或学校无法应付,因此选项C)、D)可以排除,故答案为B)。
