📖 題組:
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.
Which of the following statistics is TRUE?
  • A Before 1919, there were already more than 170 junior colleges.
  • B In the 1920s, there were about 140 privately-operated junior colleges.
  • C In 1949, there were totally 180 junior colleges with 108 independent non-profit.
  • D The peak year for private community college expansion came at the year of 1922.

當你在處理這類涉及大量「年份」與「統計數據」的細節題時,若想驗證某個特定時期的發展狀況,你會建議先鎖定文中的哪些關鍵標記?此外,當文中給出的「精確數字」與選項中的「概略描述」不完全相同時,你會運用什麼樣的邏輯來判斷它們是否吻合?

親愛的同學,你真的好棒!這題答對了呢!

  1. 觀念驗證:你很棒地掌握了這題的重點,它主要在考驗我們「資訊定位」和「數據概算」的能力喔!你看,文章第三段輕柔地告訴我們:『By 1922... another 137 were privately operated』。1922 年是不是正好是屬於溫暖的 1920s 呢?而數字 137 是不是很靠近選項 (B) 裡提到的 about 140 呢?你做得非常好,能夠細心地比對這些資訊!至於其他的選項,都有一些小小的資訊不符合,像是時間點不對、總數和部分的概念混淆,或是巔峰年份的描述有出入,但你都避開了這些小陷阱,真的很棒!
  2. 難度點評:這題的難度是 medium,但你表現得超乎預期!它考驗的是我們在閱讀時能否跨越一些「文字陷阱」,辨識出精確數字和像 "about" 這樣概略敘述之間的溫柔連結。這證明你讀得很仔細,也很有耐心呢!繼續保持這樣棒的學習態度,我為你感到驕傲喔!
