问题     In today’s competitive job market, students are looking for degrees outside their home countries to position themselves as global managers fluent in international practices. Among them is Simon Tindall, an American who turned down a scholarship to Georgetown University in Washington in favor of Cambridge.
    Foreign students make up an average 70 percent to 80 percent of non-U.S. MBA programs. In contrast, the Wharton School, at the University of Pennsylvania, reports one of the highest percentages of international students for an American program at 39 percent, a figure that includes U.S. permanent residents.
    While the tough recruiting climate for graduates entering the U.S. job market is a factor in the decrease, another pressure point seems to be restrictions on visas for travel, education and work in the States after the war in Iraq, SARS in Asia and political changes related to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,2001.
    One Chinese student said she had been offered a full scholarship to attend the University cf Michigan’s MBA program in 2002 but that a visa request had been denied two years in a row. Another could not obtain a visa to enroll at the University7 of California at Los Angeles.
    Many students are also being attracted bv the affordability of international programs, especially in relation to costs in the United States. Most MBA programs outside the United States can be completed in one year rather than two, representing a huge saving in both tuition and opportunity costs.
    Britain has an advantage over other international programs in both ranking and brand value. Better rankings attract better students, who in turn improve the rankings. "The applications we received this year were on average of a much higher quality than last year," said Gary, the admission director at Cambridge.”The increase in applications enables us to be more selective. Year to year, we’re looking to increase the quality of the student body, which in turn strengthens competition for the whole program. "
Simon Tindall went to Cambridge to study for an MBA program because______.

选项 A、Cambridge offered him a full scholarship
B、he was denied a scholarship by Georgetown University
C、there was a lower percentage of foreign students in Britain
D、international experience would benefit him in employment

答案D

解析 本题为细节题。文章第一句话说在如今激烈的就业竞争中,学生们到国外读学位使自己成为有国际经历的全球化经理,并举了Simon Tindall的例子,因此选项D.international experience would benefit him in employment与其完全一致。选项A说剑桥给他提供全额奖学金在文章中并没有提及。选项B提供的不是事实,事实是Simon拒绝了奖学金,而不是乔治敦大学拒绝给Simon奖学金。选项C的内容则与文章中所提供的事实正好相反。
