问题     For more than two decades,【C1】______the cost of college has climbed at twice the rate of inflation, critics have【C2】______that bloated bureaucracies, overpaid faculty, and【C3】______amenities are【C4】______tuition. Yet in a new book—Why Does College Cost So Much?— economists Robert Archibald and David Feldman argue that college isn’t actually【C5】______
    The reason:【C6】______the total cost of attending an in-state, four-year public university has nearly doubled to $16,140【C7】______2000, the benefits that come【C8】______it have increased【C9】______too. Indeed, over the same time【C10】______, the difference in wages between those who attend college and those who don’t has climbed【C11】______20 percent.
    Yet in the aftermath of the recession, a more【C12】______question is who’s losing【C13】______in the process? Even though aid packages have risen by more than 50 percent since 2000, one recent study found that college enrollment could fall by 3.6 percent【C14】______the housing bust,【C15】______has made it harder for families to finance their children’s education.
    "The prices are rising【C16】______at the time【C17】______minorities and lower-income families are having the most trouble meeting costs," says Rucker Johnson, a professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkeley.【C18】______college may still be a good deal, but its price is【C19】______at a time when【C20】______people can afford it.
【C4】
选项 A、inflating
B、rising
C、accelerating
D、fabricating
答案A
解析 动词辨析题。inflating是“抬高物价，通货膨胀”；rising是“提升，上升”；accelerating是“加速”；fabricating是“建造，编造”。文章第一句话就告诉我们大学的费用已攀升到通货膨胀率的两倍，由此可知，批评家们认为学费被“增加，提高”了。rise为不及物动词，所以只有inflating符合条件。
