Rising costs have led more and more families to borrow money to help pay for college. There are different federal loans(貸款 )and private loans for students and parents. Interest rates on some of these loans will go up on July first. As borrowing has increased, there are growing concerns that many students graduate with too much debt. In 1993, less than onehalf of graduates from fouryear colleges had student loans. Now twothirds of them do. Their average loan debt when they graduate is 19, 000 dollars. The Project on Student Debt is an action group that collects numbers from reports. It notes that averages do not present the full picture. For example, in 2021, onefourth of students graduated with more than 25, 000 dollars in debt. And that did not include borrowing from their parents. The Project on Student Debt says parents as well as students are borrowing more to pay for college. Students can expect to take about ten years to pay back their loans. Repayment does not begin until after they are out of school. Higher borrowing limits have helped push up student debts. Students from all economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)的 )levels are borrowing more. Corrected for inflation(通貨膨脹 ), student loans have increased around sixty percent in ten years. Researchers say one effect is that the higher the debts, the more likely graduates are to look only for high paying jobs. That means there is less chance they will take jobs in areas like teaching or other public service. A study done in 2021 for a major student lender found that debts can also affect lives in other ways. Some students paying back their college loans said they delayed buying their first house. Some delayed marriage or having children. 60. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Costly College, Worried Parents B. The Project on Student Debt C. Out of College, but Already in Debt D. College Graduates, Tenyears in Debt 【解析】選 C。標(biāo)題選擇題。通讀文章可知,文章主要敘述的是大學(xué)生學(xué)費(fèi)高昂,在畢業(yè)時(shí) 負(fù)債累累的現(xiàn)狀,因此 C 為最佳答案;而其他答案有的只抓住某個(gè)事實(shí),甚至包含不正確的信息,如 D。 61. According to the passage, we know it is NOT true that___. A. both students and parents borrow money from banks to help pay for college B. the average numbers collected from the report sometimes are not true C. high debts cause some graduates to decline low paying jobs D. students are getting bigger loans to pay for college than before 【解析】選 B。推理判斷題。注意本題要求找出不符合文章的 話。從第五段可知,學(xué)生和家長都向銀行貸款,所以 A項(xiàng)與原文相符。 B項(xiàng)是針對原文中第四段“ It notes that averages do not present the full picture. ”這句來考查的,這句話是說平均數(shù)字并不能完全說明問題,但并不是說平均數(shù)字是錯(cuò)誤的,所以 B 項(xiàng)是對原句的曲解,所以是正確答案。 C 項(xiàng)符合倒數(shù)第二段。根據(jù)文中第七段提到的 Students from all economic levels are borrowing more. 可知 D項(xiàng)符合原文。 62. Which of the following may be one of the causes of the rise of student debts? A. The cost of a college education has been increasing. B. Interest rates on college student loans have doubled. C. The students can borrow as much as they can from the bank. D. There was recently an increasing inflation in the United States. 【解析】選 A。細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。從文章第一段和第七段可知學(xué)生貸款上升的直接原因包括上學(xué)的各種費(fèi)用上漲,貸款最高限額提高。因此正確答案為 A。 B、 C項(xiàng)中雖然文章中有所提及,但都增加了沒有根據(jù)的內(nèi)容。 D項(xiàng)文中沒提到。 63. What attitude does the author probably hold towards the student loans? A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Opposed. D. Subjective. 【解析】選 A。態(tài)度判斷題。作者通過各種數(shù)據(jù)和研究結(jié)果體現(xiàn)了學(xué)生貸款的大幅度上升及其不良的影響。所以作者的態(tài)度很可能是對學(xué)生貸款很擔(dān)心,而不是支持或者反對,也不是很主觀、個(gè)人的,因?yàn)橹饕且钥陀^的事實(shí)呈現(xiàn)了學(xué)生貸款的問題。 (C) Tshirts out。 uniforms in School uniforms are being more and more popular across the U.
