Something happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel-efficient cars in large quantities for the export market. Suddenly, the large, gas-consuming American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a depression. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a depression they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service — unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, fox example — than during more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.
选项
A、They couldn’t get enough income to keep them running.
B、Young people couldn’t afford to pay the tuition fees.
C、Keeping them running at the same level would cast much more.
D、Social services need more state funds because of the recession.
答案
C
解析
该题问“以下哪项不是大学陷入困境的原因?”文中后半部分提到了大学陷入困境的原因,主要是资金问题。并不是因为花费多了而是因为来源少了。因此,选项C项“保持同等的运作水平需要花费更多”不能称作原因。
