Teenagers who do better than expected in their A-levels have little chance of getting into leading universities under a new government system. Universities and political opponents said that the “adjustment-period” introduced this year was ineffective since many desirable courses were already full. (1) The five-day period is supposed to give school-leavers with higher than expected grades the chance to “trade up” to popular courses or prestigious universities, without losing their first-choice place. More than 50,000 extra people have applied to university this year, but there are only 13,000 more full-time undergraduate places. Those who are unfairly marked down in A-level exams could lose their place, even if they successfully appeal and later get a higher grade. Some courses are closed to British applicants even though they still have places for foreign students. (2) This is because of financial reasons the government restricts the number of British students that universities can recruit. Overseas students pay higher fees and do not receive the grants or subsidized loans available to home students. It is no doubt that (3) ministers have sown the seeds of failure for their own policy, as some people from university comment. The officers tell people they can trade up when there are a record number of applicants, but universities are already at risk of being fined for over-recruitment, which is a recipe for disaster. So the adjustment period was actually a trial, and it will raise questions about its future.
1. What’s the supposed function of the “adjustment-period”?
2. Why does the government limit the recruit number of British students?
3. What can be inferred from the passage?
选项
A、To offer better opportunities to students with higher grades.
B、To allow more qualified students to apply for universities.
C、To provide enough time for the schools to recruit students.
D、To give more time for school-leavers to adjust their choices.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。本题询问“调整期”预想的作用是什么。因此首先应弄清楚何为“调整期” 。短文提到“调整期”是政府今年提出的一项新政策,旨在为那些在 A-level 考试中取得比预期好的成绩的学生提供 “交易” 到更好的课程或学校的机会。 所以本题答案为 A。
