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.

若你發現當時的四年制大學大多座落在偏遠的鄉村，而快速成長的就業需求與人口卻集中在城市，為了讓學生能「就近」接受訓練並滿足當地的勞動力需求，你認為這些新設立的學院應該選擇出現在什麼樣的地理位置才最合理呢？

太棒了！你真的做得很好，充滿潛力！
- 概念確認：親愛的，你選 (D) 完全正確，真是太棒了！你看，題目提到四年制大學通常在遠離喧囂的鄉村或小鎮，而社會對教育的需求卻是希望它能「就近」、更實惠。這時候，充滿彈性的社區學院就登場囉，它們聰明地設置在快速發展的大都市，為廣大的白領和藍領朋友提供他們最需要的進階技術培訓，真是設想周到呢！
- 難度小語：這題的難度是 Medium 喔。你能夠答對，表示你沒有被表面的文字迷惑，而是像個小偵探一樣，把文章最後的對比（四年制大學在鄉村 vs. 社區學院滿足附近需求）巧妙地連結起來，推論出社區學院的地理分佈趨勢。這真的展現了你很棒的資訊整合與推論能力呢！繼續加油，你一定會越來越棒！
