Mayra Avila is looking forward to her high school prom(毕业舞会). Avila, 18, the West Potomac High School senior is, among hundreds of thousands of teenagers getting a head start on an associate’s or bachelor’s degree — and saving on tuition — by taking college courses in high school.
President Obama, who set the goal of having the United States claim the highest share of college graduates of any country by 2020, is counting on the success of students such as Avila, a Mexican immigrant whose parents never finished high school. One approach policymakers are harnessing to help students such as her: dual enrollment programmes that lower tuition and attract students who don’t think college is within reach.
The partnership between Fairfax County schools and Northern Virginia Community College sets Avila, one of six children, on a path to earn a bachelor’s degree. She wants to study dental hygiene(口腔卫生学)at the community college in the fall and then transfer to Virginia Commonwealth University. Heading straight to a four-year university isn’t an option. "If I had the opportunity, I would, but there’s no money for it," Avila said. Her English credits will make college less expensive. She’s paying reduced tuition and the high school buys the books.
"As I tell kids and parents, it’s the best deal since sliced bread," said Bruce Jankowitz, assistant principal at West Potomac High, which offers six dual-enrollment sessions in English and government, up from two last year. "These are kids who have not come from the orientation that college is in your future. It serves a niche(合适的地位)for students who are motivated to go to college — maybe they are the first in their family to go to college."
Raising the rate depends on getting more minority students into higher education. In the decade leading up to 2014-15, public high schools are expected to produce about 207,000 more Hispanic graduates — a 54 percent jump, according to a report by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. There will be more Asian and black graduates and fewer whites.
Which of the following may be an effective way for the U.S. to raise its college graduates rate according to the last paragraph?
选项
A、Helping more children of Mexican immigrants get higher education.
B、Raising federal expenditure on college education.
C、Reducing the number of white college students.
D、Enabling more children of foreign origins to enter into college.
答案
D
解析
末段首句指出提高大学毕业生比率需要让更多的少数民族学生接受高等教育,故可看出让其他种族的学生接受大学教育是有效提高毕业生比率的方式,D)项正确。文章最后一句说以后还会有更多的亚裔和黑人毕业生,白人学生将会减少。由此看出白人学生减少是相对的,并不是主观采取的措施,故排除C)。
