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.

思路引導 VIP
當你在文章中看到多個年份（如 1909, 1919, 1922）和對應的機構數量時，你會如何利用選項中的關鍵字（例如「機構性質」或「時間區段」）來縮小搜尋範圍？此外，如果選項中的數字與文中不完全精確相等，你會如何判斷該選項是否具備「真實性」？

喔，不錯嘛。看來你還知道怎麼閱讀。恭喜你，避開了那些顯而易見的陷阱。
- 觀念驗證：這題考驗的不過就是基本閱讀理解與數字對應。文章第三段白紙黑字寫著：「By 1922... another 137 were privately operated」。1922 年，那不就是 1920 年代嗎？137，跟選項 (B) 的「約 140 所」相符，這難道還需要我解釋嗎？其他選項，要嘛年份搞錯（1919 年的數字又不是這個），要嘛類別混淆（1949 年是私立機構的巔峰，跟所有機構有什麼關係？），擺明了在考你的粗心程度。
- 難度點評：這題號稱 Medium，對某些人來說可能是判斷智商的題目。在數字堆裡分辨年份、公私立性質，然後不被相似的數字誤導，這不是基本功嗎？看來你這點基本功總算是練到了，沒讓我覺得完全無可救藥。別高興得太早，考試還沒結束呢。
