Britain’s private schools are one of its most successful exports. The children of the wealthy【C1】________to them, whether from China, Nigeria or Russia: the number of foreign pupils rose by 1.4% in the last year alone.
【C2】________foreign students, whether educated in British private schools or elsewhere, are decreasingly likely to go to English universities. According to the Higher Education Funding Council for England, 307,200【C3】________students began their studies in the country in 2012-13, down from 312,000 two years earlier and the first【C4】________in 29 years. Student numbers from the rest of the EU fell—【C5】________a result of the increase in annual tuition【C6】________in England from £6,000 a year to £9,000. But【C7】________from India and Pakistan declined most sharply.
【C8】________the visa regime for private schools, which is extremely【C9】________(the Home Office counts private schools as favored sponsors), student visas have been tightened. Foreign students used to be allowed to work for up to two years after graduating. They now have only four months to find a job paying upwards of £20,600 if they want to stay in Britain.
This change was【C10】________to deal with sham colleges that were【C11】________offering two-year work visas. But it seems to have put【C12】________serious students too. Nick Hillman of the Higher Education Policy Institute says the government has sent unclear messages about the sort of immigration it wants to【C13】________. An emphasis on holding down net immigration discourages young Indians and Pakistanis in particular. Australia and America, which have more【C14】________entry criteria for students, are becoming more favored【C15】________. Colin Riordan, Cardiff University’s vice-chancellor, adds that Britain’s student-visa regime has become more burdensome and complicated【C16】________.
As a result, Britain is losing out to other countries in the【C17】________for talent—an odd thing,【C18】________ how often the prime minister bangs on about the "global race". Its unwelcoming stand will【C19】________its long-term prospects. And the【C20】________of foreign students from leading British private schools to American colleges may have another, somewhat happier, consequence: America might become rather better at cricket.
【C4】
选项
A、increase
B、change
C、drop
D、period
答案
C
解析
本句提到两年前该数字为312,000,说明现在的数字已经下降。C项drop有“下降”之意,语义符合。A项increase意为“增加”,从两年前的312,000到现在的307,200,数字下降,而不是增加。B项change意为“改变”,改变可以指变多或变少。意思不够具体。D项period意为“时期”,本句讨论的是数字而不是时间。
