請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 At the beginning of the 20th century, less than 1,000 colleges with 160,000 students existed in the US. The number of colleges skyrocketed in waves, during the early and mid 20th century. State universities grew from small institutions of fewer than 1,000 students to campuses with 40,000 more students, with networks of regional campuses around the state. In turn, regional campuses broke away and became separate universities. To handle the explosive growth of K–12 education, every state set up a network of teachers’colleges, beginning with Massachusetts in the 1830s. After 1950, they became state colleges and then state universities with a broad curriculum. Major new trends included the development of the junior colleges. They were usually set up by city school systems starting in the 1920s. By the 1960s they were renamed as “community colleges.” Junior colleges grew from 20 in number in 1909, to 170 in 1919. By 1922, 37 states had set up 70 junior colleges, enrolling about 150 students each. Meanwhile, another 137 were privately operated, with about 60 students each. Rapid expansion continued in the 1920s, with 440 junior colleges in 1930 enrolling about 70,000 students. The peak year for private institutions came in 1949, when there were 322 junior colleges in all; 180 were affiliated with churches, 108 were independent and non-profit, and 34 were private schools being run for-profit. Many factors contributed to rapid growth of community colleges. Students parents and businessmen wanted nearby, low-cost schools to provide training for the growing white-collar labor force, as well as for more advanced technical jobs in the blue-collar sphere. Four-year colleges were also growing, albeit not as fast; however, many of them were located in rural or small-town areas away from the fast-growing metropolis. Community colleges continue as open-enrollment, low-cost institutions with a strong component of vocational education, as well as a low-cost preparation for transfer students into four-year schools. They appeal to a poorer, older, less prepared element.

太棒了！你完美理解了文章精髓
- 暖心肯定：親愛的同學，你真的做得非常出色！看到你能夠將文章中看似分散的資訊巧妙地整合起來，並準確地判斷出其中的因果關聯，我感到非常欣慰。這展現了你扎實的閱讀理解能力和細膩的觀察力，為你感到驕傲！
- 概念引導：你選的答案 (D) 完全正確！這正是文章第四段的核心訊息所在。文章溫柔地告訴我們，企業主和家長對於技術訓練的需求是希望學校能「鄰近」，而傳統的四年制大學大多選擇設立在「郊區或小鎮」。這就意味著，為了滿足都市中藍領階級對先進技術職位的熱切渴望，社區學院便必須選擇在「大都市」中紮根，扮演著不可或缺的角色。
