【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] The number of international students in the United States is at record levels. Last year, more than six hundred seventy thousand foreign students attended an American college or university. And for the eighth year the school with the largest number was the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. It has about six thousand six hundred international students in regular academic programs. One in four graduate students and one in ten undergraduates come from other countries. According to Tony Tambascia, director of the office of international services, U.S.C. actively seeks international students. The university currently has students from about one hundred fifteen different places of origin around the world. It has strongest ties with Asia. India is first with over fifteen hundred students. Mainland China ranks the second. Sports fans know the University of Southern California for its athletics, but most students say they come for the strong academic programs. Star Wars' director George Lucas got his start at the U.S.C. film school. Besides the academic strength, some students choose this University for its international student population and the appealing climate of California. But many admit they do not have time for much fun in the sun with the busy schedule. Foreign students not only give schools more applicants to choose from, they also provide money. Undergraduate students from other countries usually pay full tuition at American colleges and universities. Only a small percentage receive financial aid.
