问题    China is the top source country of international students in the world. Recent statistics have shown a【C1】______ trend for Chinese students to study abroad at a younger age. The【C2】______ of Chinese students studying abroad has rapidly increased in recent years. According to statistics【C3】______ by the Ministry of Education in the academic year of 2010, about 285,000 people were educated abroad, up 24 percent from the previous year. The majority of overseas students were undergraduates and postgraduates, but the number of 【C4】______ students has been growing dramatically. Among the total number of students who went abroad last year, more than 20 percent were under 18 years old.
   Zhang Chao, general manager of EIC Group, an international education service company, explains, "Among our【C5】______ in the past two or three years, the【C6】______ rate of students going abroad was about 20 percent, while the rate of those under 18 was about 20 to 25 percent, which is higher than the average growth. Most of them go to study in high schools, and there are a few primary school students as well."
   A recent survey【C7】______ by MyCOS, HR Digital Information Corporation and Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange,【C8】______ a large number of high school students are planning to study abroad. Zhang Jingxiu, Vice President of MyCOS Corporation, elaborates:
   "From last September to this March, we have received more than 2,900 online 【C9】______ to questionnaires. The target interviewees were high school students. We found that 70 percent of the students plan to study abroad after graduating from high school. Twenty-four percent plan to study in【C10】______ high schools. Only 6 percent plan to study in domestic universities and then【C11】______ postgraduate studies overseas."
   In the survey, more than 60 percent of students say they want to receive a better education, while 19 percent go abroad to【C12】______ the stress of taking China’s university entrance examinations. Due to high living【C13】______ and tuition fees, most young overseas students come from well-off families. Brought up in fairly good conditions, many of them face various【C14】______ living on their own in a strange country. Due to language【C15】______ they also face difficulties communicating with others.
   Shi Yiru, consultant from Shanghai Huashen International Education Corporation, raises some suggestions. "Young overseas students should be more【C16】______ about making new friends. Although schools help【C17】______ their study habits, they should be more independent. Students with strong communication skills are easier at【C18】______ to new circumstances."
   For children studying abroad, parents make the【C19】______ decision. But experts suggest parents communicate with their children and【C20】______their willingness when it comes to making the choice between staying at home and studying abroad on their own at a tender age. [br] 【C13】
选项 A、standards
B、orientations
C、expenses
D、requirements
答案 C
解析 本题考查语境推理。根据句内结构找线索，句中and表示并列，前后词组在语法及意义上应保持一致。其后的tuition fees是一笔开销，为学费，前面的词组应该也是一笔开销，为生活开支。本句意为“由于高昂的生活开销和学费支出，大部分的年轻留学生都来自于富有的家庭”。词义辨析：standard n．意为“标准”，living standard意为“生活水平，生活标准”；orientation n．意为“方向，目标”；expense n．意为“开支，消费”，living expenses，意为“生活费用”；requirement n．意为“要求，必要条件”。根据词义，此处选择expenses最为恰当。
