单选题 What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】属“推理判断题”。作者在本段指出"But those numbers are not as encouraging as they appear for lower-income families, because schools are changing their formulas for distributing aid.... they're throwing more aid at smarter kids —whether they need it or not .",即学校正在改变的资助发放方案不利于那些低收入家庭,学校把更多的资助给了成绩较好的学生,不管他们是否需要这种资助。也就是说“那些很需要帮助的家庭反而得不到帮助”,故选[D]。 [A]“有些家庭大穷了难以付全费”。作者指出"Most families pay less than full freight.",即大多数家庭都没有付全费。这是得到资助的结果。而[A]题文所说的太穷了难以付全费只是一种状况,并非说他们就可以不付全费。 [B]“家长不喜欢贷款的形式”。本段还提到"Sixty percent of public-university students and three quarters of those at private colleges receive some form of financial aid —mostly,these days,in the form of loans.",即60%的公立大学学生和四分之三的私立大学的学生要接受某种形式的财政资助,现在大多是以贷款的形式发放。数字说明了学生中贷款的人数不少,因此该项与文义不合。 [C]“付学费使家长觉得很丢人”。此段第一句话"Paying for college has always been a humbling endeavor."的意思是支付大学费用一直都是让人难以启齿的尴尬事,而非指付学费让家长觉得低人一等。
