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.

同學，這是一道細節尋找題喔！如果要找出正確的統計數據，你可以試著回到文章第三段，將每個選項提到的「年份」作為關鍵字去定位。仔細比對文章中每個年份對應的「數量」與「學校類型」，看看哪一個選項的描述與原文最吻合呢？

恭喜你答對了！這是一道典型的閱讀測驗細節題，考驗對文章中統計數據的捕捉與比對能力。你很準確地找出了 (B) 是正確的描述。 我們回顧一下文章第三段，如果要驗證數據，最好的方法是把選項中的「年份」當作關鍵字回文定位。原文提到「By 1922... another 137 were privately operated」（到了 1922 年，另有 137 所是私立的）。137 所非常接近選項 (B) 敘述的「大約 140 所（about 140）」，而且 1922 年正屬於 1920 年代（In the 1920s），因此 (B) 完全符合文意。 這題難度中等，鑑別度在於能否耐心核對各個數據，避免被文字陷阱混淆。其他選項的錯誤都很明顯：(A) 原文說 1919 年達到 170 所，而非「1919 之前超過」；(C) 1949 年私立學院總數是 322 所，其中 180 所是教會附屬；(D) 文章明確指出私立機構的高峰期（peak year）是 1949 年，而非 1922 年。下次遇到這類題型，記得先圈出年份再去文章找答案，就能輕鬆拿分喔！
