Rising Tuition in the US

Every spring,US university administrators gather to discuss the next academic year's budget. They consider faculty salaries,utility costs for dormitories,new building needs and repairs to old ones. They run the numbers and conclude一it seems,inevitably一that,yet again,the cost of tuition must go up.

According to university officials,college cost increases are simply the result of balancing university checkbooks."Tuition increases at Cedarville University are determined by our revenue needs for each year."said the university's president,Dr Bill Brown."Student tuition pays for 78 percent of
the university's operating costs." Brown's school is a private university that enrolls about 3,100 undergrads and is consistently recognized by annual college ranking guides like US News and World Report's and The Princeton Review's.________(47)
Tuition at private universities is set by administration officials and then sent for approval to the
school's board of trustees (董事）.________(48)This board oversees（监管）all of a state's public
institutions.

答案A
解析本题上一句是“据美国高校董事会统计，一个四年制私立高校学习的费用在1993年和2004年间上涨了81%。”下一句是“这个数字在2005年和2006年不断增长”，用数字比较说明学费一直在增长，而选项中只有选项E是数字比较的内容，因此选E。
上一句是“Brown的学校是一个招有3 100多名本科生的私立大学，一直被诸如《美国新闻》、《世界报道》和《普林斯顿观察》的年度高校排名指南所承认”，是对学校的介绍，而选项中只有C提到了一所学校的收费情况，因此判断是选C。
本段主要说明各类学校学费上涨获得许可的过程。上一句是“私立大学的学费由行政人员确定，然后送交学校监管董事批准”，而选项中只有B介绍了公立学校学费上涨的情况，因此选B。
本段介绍了ECU大学学生的学费情况，上一句是“Durham指出北卡罗来纳州的居民只需付出受教育成本的22%”，而只有选项F“州政府承担其余的费用”与上一句街接紧密，因此选F。
本段介绍了高校怎样对学生予以经济资助。上一句是“为获取经济资助，美国学生向联邦政府递交一个正式申请，联邦政府会决定是否有资格取得资助或货款”，下面说明接下来的程序，因此选项A正确。
