College brochures often depict fresh-faced, newly-minted high school graduates, ready to venture out of their parents’ homes to their dorm rooms for the first time.(19)The problem with that picture is those students—the 18- to 22-year-old "traditional" college students—are no longer the norm. In fact, most students who used to be classified as nontraditional—older students, those with families and jobs, as well as veterans—are now more common on college campuses. The reality, says Andrew Kelly of the American Enterprise Institute in a documentary, is that(20)many students don’t move straight from high school to college and complete their degrees within four to six years. Some join the military, start working, start a family or simply take more time to figure out what path they want to pursue. However, the way for the older students is not easy. At community colleges where many adult students begin their college careers,(21)1 in 10 transfer students lose nearly all of their course credits upon transferring to a four-year university. That’s why some education reformers are advocating for an alternative approach to a degree through online education, competency-based education and more flexible credit transferring policies.(22)The need to play multiple roles at once as a parent, a spouse, an employee and a student, has fueled the growth of online education. About a third of college students have taken at least one online class, and both employers and the general public are increasingly supportive of online education.
19. What is the problem with the traditional college brochures?
20. Why do college students become older nowadays?
21. What problems do some older students meet in college?
22. What makes online education more and more popular?

选项 A、They say much about students’ dorm rooms.
B、They always advertise students with high scores.
C、They don’t cover the older college students.
D、They only depict students who are good-looking.

答案 C

解析 事实细节题。本题问的是传统的大学手册有什么问题。短文开头提到,大学的手册上经常刻画的是面带稚气,刚从高中毕业的学生形象,这一画面的问题在于上面所描绘的18到20岁的传统大学生已经不再是主流了。事实上,年龄大点的学生,他们已成家或有工作,或者是老兵在现在的大学校园里更普遍。也就是说传统大学手册的问题在于没有把年龄大点的大学生包括在内。
