  5.(2011•山东卷)C

  Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.

  “I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.

  The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.

  With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.

  At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,“If we go on this way for another 25years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”

  Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.

  67. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?

  A. They asked their kids to come home.

  B. They borrowed $20,000 from the school.

  C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.

  D. They got help from the school and the federal government.

  68. Financial aid administrators believe that _______.

  A. more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses

  B. the government will receive more letters of complaint

  C. college tuition fees will double soon

  D. America’s unemployment will fall

  69.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?

  A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.

  B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.

  C. They will try their best to send kids to college.

  D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.

  70.According to the last paragraph, the government will .

  A. provide most students will scholarships

  B. dismiss some financial aid administrators

  C. stop the companies from making student loans

  D. go on providing financial support for college students

  【解析】:66-70:BDACD

  【语篇解读】本文介绍了今年学生贷款增多给家庭带来的压力和大学学费的不断增加的社会问题,提出政府对之做出的回应。

  66.B. 推理判断题。第一段提到Diana Jacobs的家庭本来有一个可行的计划可以支付两个双胞胎儿子的大学费用,可由于丈夫的失业计划瓦解了。

  67.D.推理判断题。第三段指出解决方案solution 是向学校索求更多的援助,每个儿子增加贷款到最大额度。如原文“They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program.”,也即是选项B。

  68. A。细节推断题。由第四段“expect to hear more families like the Jacobs”可以得知 财政援助的管理员们预期会看到更多像Jacobs一家的情况,同义转换即选项A。而BD原文没有提到,C 从第五段“Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade”,可知在过去10年里已经长了一倍还多,因此是错的。

  69. C。推理判断题。从第六段最后一句话“They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”可知,无论需要什么他们都会送孩子去上大学,即使那意味着大笔的债务。

  70. D。细节推断题。由最后一段可知许多公司做出决定说学生贷款利润股沟因此不再做贷款,而好消息是联邦政府承担着四分之三的学生贷款。因此推断是D,政府将继续承担对大学生的资金援助。
