问题 共用题干Rising Tuition in the US
Every spring,US university administrators gather to discuss the next academic year's budget.
They consider faculty salaries,utility costs for dormitories,new building needs and repairs to old ones .They run the numbers and conclude-it seems,inevitably-that,yet again,the cost of tuition must go up.
According to the US's College Board,the price of attending a four-year private university in the US rose 81 percent between 1993 and 2004.______(46)In 2005 and 2006,the numbers continued to rise.
According to university officials,college cost increases are simply the result of balancing uni-versity checkbooks.“Tuition increases at Cedarville University are determined by our revenue needs for each year.”said the university's president,Dr. Bill Brown.“Student tuition pays for 78 percent of the university's operating costs.”Brown's school is a private university that enrolls about 3,100 undergrads and is consistently recognized by annual college ranking guides like US News and World Report's and The Princeton Review's.______(47)
Tuition at private universities is set by administration officials and then sent for approval to the school's board of trustees (董事）.______( 48 ) This board oversees（监管）all of a state's public institutions.
John Durham,assistant secretary to the board of trustees at East Carolina University(ECU), explains that state law says that public institutions must make their services available whenever possible to the people of the state for free.Durham said that North Carolina residents only pay 22 percent of the cost of their education.______(49)State residents attending ECU pay about US $10,000 for tuition,room and board before financial aid.
Amid the news about continued increases in college costs,however,there is some good news. Tuition increases have been accompanied by roughly equal increases in financial aid at almost ev-ery university.To receive financial aid,US students complete a formal application with the federal government. The federal government then decides whether an applicant is eligible（有资格的）for grants or loans______(50)______(47)A: The application is then sent to the student's university,where the school itself will decide whether free money will be given to the student and how much.B: At public universities,however,tuition increases must also be approved by a state edu-cation committee,sometimes called the board of governors.C: The school currently charges US$23,410 a year for tuition.D: Many American people are simply unable to pay the growing cost of food.E: That's more than double the rate of inflation.F: The state government covers the rest.

答案 B
解析 空格前面一句话讲的是1993～ 2004年间四年制私立大学学费上涨的情况，后面一句讲的是2005和2006年的涨价情况，两句话之间在时间上没有间隔。所以要填入的内容很可能是对学费涨价的一种说明或比较。在六个选项中E项把学费上涨的幅度和同期的通货膨胀率作了一个比较，说明学费的上涨率超过了通胀率。


这一段的后半段讲的是一所大学即Cedarville University的收费和支出情况。在六个选项中只有C项以The school…开头，也就是说这句话是针对某一所大学的。就其内容而言，也符合本段的需要。


这一段先讲了私立大学的学费是怎么定的，选项B讲的是公立大学的学费是怎么定的，中间还包含了however这个词，表示了转折，即讲过私立，下面要讲公立了。所以这军很适合填入。


这段讲的是州政府对大学的投入。按理来说，一个州的公共机构应该尽可能为这个州的居民提供免费的服务。北卡罗来纳州的居民只支付教育费用的22%，下面一句话自然就该讲州政府出多少钱了。


文章的最后一段讲的是学生如何向联邦政府申请资助，空格的前一句话说联邦政府决定学生是否有资格申请奖学金或货款，然后该申请送到学生所在的学校，由学校决定该学生是否可以得到资助。
