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，你精準地選出了正確答案！這是一道典型的細節統整題，鑑別度在於能否耐心比對選項與原文，並避開時間與名詞張冠李戴的陷阱。 選項 (D) 完美結合了文章不同段落的資訊。第二段結尾提到「初級學院（junior colleges）」在 1960 年代更名為「社區大學（community colleges）」；而第四段則明確指出，社區大學延續了「低成本且包含大量職業教育（low-cost institutions with a strong component of vocational education）」的特色。 我們順便拆解其他選項的陷阱：(A) 漏掉了「20 世紀初（of the 20th century）」這個關鍵的時間前提；(B) 文章提到在 1830 年代設立的是「師範學院（teachers’ colleges）」，它們是在 1950 年後才變成州立大學的；(C) 由城市學校系統設立初級學院的時間，應為 1920 年代而非 1930 年代。你完全沒有被這些細節迷惑，展現了十分扎實的閱讀理解基本功！
