7 January, 2014
A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.
These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier. On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas(海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.
The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from China .That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert(專家)of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinesestudents.
"Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.
"We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world if they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."
Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy-two thousand students.
Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.
"The advantage America has is that we have a huge system (系統(tǒng))and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students.
Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.

(1)D考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段的總結(jié)語 that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. 可知Bob Doughty是VOA中的一名新聞報道員;故選D。

(2)D考查推理判斷理解題。根據(jù)短文第八段內(nèi)容可知,到美國留學的人數(shù)最多的三個國家分別是中國、印度和南韓,第八段最后一句South Korea is third with about seventy-two thousand students.(第三名南韓的海外留學生是七萬二千人。)與第二段最后一句On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas(海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.(美國海外留學生是一萬九千人。)可知,美國的海外留學生是最少的;故選D。

(3)C考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第六段She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children.可知,A項正確;第十段The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. 可知美國擁有巨大的教育資源和完善的教育體系;B項正確;第十段So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world可知D項正確;C項的內(nèi)容文中沒提,也不是主要原因;故選C。

(4)A考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas (海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.可知B項錯誤;短文第二段That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.可知,在過去的兩年里,美國所有留學生的數(shù)量增加6%,不僅僅指亞洲;故C項錯誤;文中并沒有提到美國留學生的絕大多數(shù)都是中國人;故D項錯誤;根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可知,中國留學生在美國的數(shù)目是194,000,而倒數(shù)第四段South Korea is third with about seventy two thousand students.中可知南韓的在美留學生數(shù)目是72,000,由此可知,中國比南韓的留學生人數(shù)要多122,000;故選A。
