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.

思路引導 VIP
請你重新閱讀文章第三段，試著找出文中提到的『1922 年』具體包含哪些數據？特別注意『私立經營（privately operated）』的學校數量是多少？接著思考：這個具體數字在統計描述中，最接近哪一個整數區間？

- 觀念驗證：你準確鎖定了文章第三段的關鍵數據。文中明確提到：「By 1922... another 137 were privately operated」。在閱讀理解中，137 所與選項中的「約 140 所」相符，且 1922 年確實屬於 1920 年代。你成功避開了其他選項中關於「總數」與「年份」的敘述陷阱（如 1949 年才是私校巔峰，而非 1922 年）。
- 難度點評：本題難度為 Medium。其鑑別度在於測驗學生能否在密集的數據中進行「精確比對」與「邏輯轉換」。學生必須區分公立與私立的子數據，並理解年份區間的涵蓋範圍，是一道考驗細心度的佳題。
