问题     The cost is going up for just about everything, and college tuition is no exception. According to a nationwide survey published by the College Board’s Scholarship Service, tuition at most American universities will be on an average of 9 percent higher this year than last.
    The biggest increase will occur at private colleges. Public colleges, heavily subsidized by tax funds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few percentage points lower than their privately-sponsored neighbors.
    As a follow up, the United Press International did their own study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At MIT advisors recommended that students have $ 9 000 available for one year’s expenses, and $250 for books and supplies. Ten years ago the tuition was $ 2 000. To put that another way, the cost has climbed 450 percent in the last decade.
    An additional burden is placed on out-of-state students who must pay extra charges ranging from $ 200 to $ 2 000, and foreign students who are not eligible for scholarships at state-funded universities.
    On the brighter side, the survey revealed that college graduates are entering the best job market since the middle 1960s. Job offers are up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least for graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as $ 20 000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary.
Questions: [br] What is the job market like for college graduates according to the passage?
选项 A、It is worse than it was last year for all the graduates from universities.
B、It is especially good for the students who major in liberal arts.
C、It is not very optimistic for recent graduates in engineering.
D、It is much better than it was in the past years on the whole.
答案 D
解析 第3题问根据本文内容大学毕业生就业市场的情况如何。利用查阅式阅读，我们很快就在文章最后一自然段中找到了与答案相关的信息。这一段指出，令人高兴的是，调查表明大学毕业生进入了一个自20世纪60年代中期以来最好的就业状况。与去年相比，工作机会多了16％，工资也不错，至少对于那些技术领域的大学毕业生来说如此。例如，一个石油工程专业的刚刚毕业的大学生预计每年收入可达20 000美金。一个获文学学位的毕业生可能预计的年收入是其一半。因此，本题的正确答案是D：总的来说比过去要好得多。
