问题     The cost is going up for just about everything, and college tuition is no exception. According to a nationwide survey published by the College Board’s Scholarship Service, tuition at most American universities will be on an average of 9 percent higher this year than last.
    The biggest increase will occur at private colleges. Public colleges, heavily subsidized by tax funds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few percentage points lower than their privately-sponsored neighbors.
    As a follow up, the United Press International did their own study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At MIT advisors recommended that students have $ 9 000 available for one year’s expenses, and $250 for books and supplies. Ten years ago the tuition was $ 2 000. To put that another way, the cost has climbed 450 percent in the last decade.
    An additional burden is placed on out-of-state students who must pay extra charges ranging from $ 200 to $ 2 000, and foreign students who are not eligible for scholarships at state-funded universities.
    On the brighter side, the survey revealed that college graduates are entering the best job market since the middle 1960s. Job offers are up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least for graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as $ 20 000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary.
Questions:
The author mentions Massachusetts Institute of Technology in order to______.
选项 A、show that it is a world famous university of the U. S.
B、illustrate that college tuition is increasing rapidly
C、prove that public colleges are better than private ones
D、suggest that it is very expensive to study in college nowadays
答案B
解析 第4题问作者提麻省理工学院的目的是什么。利用查阅式阅读，我们可以在文章第三段第二句话中找到提示正确答案的内容。这部分指出，在麻省理工学院，学生们的指导老师建议学生每年要有9 000美元来支付一年的花销，还要有250美元来买书本等用品。而10年前，学费只有2 000美金。换句话说，在过去的10年里，教育费用增长了450％。由此可以推断出问题的正确答案是B：来证明大学学费在快速增长。
