Barack and Michelle Obama understand the heavy burden of student loan debt. The Obamas did not pay off their student loans until Obama’s best-selling books earned them millions of dollars.
With the cost of a college education【C1】______, more than 60% of students take out loans to fund their undergraduate education. On average, students who borrow graduate with debts of $22,700—a【C2】______of more than 18% from 2000. But some of those with a newly acquired bachelor’s degree are restrained with debts of $40,000 or more. You think this economy’s tough? Try finding a job with the【C3】______of repaying tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
Now, a new federal program—Income-Based Repayment—is making it【C4】______to pay back these loans. If a student chooses to repay her or his loan with this plan, payments are then readjusted—based on their income to something they can【C5】______afford. All debt will be forgiven after 25 years. A graduate who earns less than 150% of the【C6】______line won’t have to make any payments. This is in addition to the year-old Public Service Loan Forgiveness program for those【C7】______in jobs such as law enforcement, public health and social work. Their loans will be forgiven after 10 years.
This【C8】______isn’t perfect; the loans have to be federal loans, not【C9】______. But students with more than one federal student loan can combine them under the program. In some cases, borrowers with large debt and low-to-moderate incomes may benefit at the end of 25 years, with the【C10】______of their debt forgiven. Others with higher incomes, though, will pay more.
A)earning B)state C)rising D)jump
E)pressure F)initiative G)poverty I)balance
J)raising K)private L)barely M)easier
N)working O)reasonably H)public
【C5】
选项
答案
O
解析
此处应为副词,修饰afford。上文提到参与该计划的学生的偿款可以调整,此处应该表示“他们可以承担”,reasonably“合理地;适度地”符合文意。barely afford表示“几乎不能承担”,与上下文语义逻辑不符,不能选barely。
