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.

請回到文章最後一段，找找看「四年制大學（Four-year colleges）」通常位於哪些地區？這與促成「社區大學」成長的需求（以及它能提供的訓練種類）有著什麼樣的對比關係呢？

太棒了，你精準抓到了文章的對比細節！這道閱讀理解題測驗了對文章段落細節的配對能力。 找尋關鍵細節與對比 我們可以從文章第四段找到社區大學快速成長的線索。文中提到，家長與企業主需要「就近、低成本」的學校來為白領與藍領領域（blue-collar sphere）提供更進階的技術訓練。同時，文章特別將社區大學與四年制大學作對比：文中指出四年制大學往往位於鄉村或小鎮，「遠離快速成長的大都會（away from the fast-growing metropolis）」。這反襯出社區大學更能補足都會區的缺口，就近提供技職訓練，因此你選的答案是符合文意邏輯的最佳解。
