问题     The U.S. system of higher education is widely considered the world’s best. A college education【C1】________substantial benefits—about $20,000 per year【C2】________extra earnings over the course of a lifetime.【C3】________, according to a recent survey, 57 percent of Americans think higher education is not a good value,【C4】________they know how much it boosts earning power. And with the cost of many state universities【C5】________, the perceptions that college is too expensive for most people are【C6】________.
    Clearly, higher education officials must think harder about affordability—including not only more scholarship money but also lower costs and higher【C7】________One promising idea is the three-year degree which enables students to spend【C8】________. And they would have an extra year of work to pay the costs of education.
    There are many【C9】________approaches to the three-year degree: Schools can make it easier for students to【C10】________college credit earned in high school; they can fashion programs that【C11】________nearly four years of credits into three years, making use of summer and online learning; they can consider a more focused and streamlined curriculum. What all such【C12】________assume is that universities and colleges could make more intensive use of resources that often lie idle for much of the year under the【C13】________pattern.
    But up to now, only a handful of schools offered three-year degree【C14】________. Colleges and universities prefer to【C15】________the four-year model because of powerful economic incentives. Most won’t offer a three-year option【C16】________those incentives change. That may be starting to happen: The recent budget proposal by Ohio Governor John Kasich requires the state’s public univer sities to prepare【C17】________to offer three-year undergraduate degrees. It probably will take successful innovation by one or more large state systems to【C18】________change nationwide. Perhaps federal aid to universities or the schools’ participation in the student loan program could be partly conditioned on offering a three-year degree option. Today’s students have the ability to acquire and【C19】________knowledge faster than any previous generation,【C20】________technology. Higher education needs to catch up.
【C17】
选项 A、theories
B、plans
C、proposals
D、courses
答案B
解析 本句的意思是，俄亥俄州的州长在最近的预算案中要求该州的公立大学准备什么来提供三年制学位。既然州长已经提出要求提供三年制学位了，大学要准备的就是计划、方案了，故选择B项plans“计划”。A项theories“理论，学说”，三年制学位不是一门学问，不需要准备理论。C项proposals“提议”，提议州长已经提出，大学就不必再提议了。D项courses“课程”，三年制的课程也属于三年制的计划之一，故D项不如B项全面。
