问题    China is the top source country of international students in the world. Recent statistics have shown a【C1】______ trend for Chinese students to study abroad at a younger age. The【C2】______ of Chinese students studying abroad has rapidly increased in recent years. According to statistics【C3】______ by the Ministry of Education in the academic year of 2010, about 285,000 people were educated abroad, up 24 percent from the previous year. The majority of overseas students were undergraduates and postgraduates, but the number of 【C4】______ students has been growing dramatically. Among the total number of students who went abroad last year, more than 20 percent were under 18 years old.
   Zhang Chao, general manager of EIC Group, an international education service company, explains, "Among our【C5】______ in the past two or three years, the【C6】______ rate of students going abroad was about 20 percent, while the rate of those under 18 was about 20 to 25 percent, which is higher than the average growth. Most of them go to study in high schools, and there are a few primary school students as well."
   A recent survey【C7】______ by MyCOS, HR Digital Information Corporation and Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange,【C8】______ a large number of high school students are planning to study abroad. Zhang Jingxiu, Vice President of MyCOS Corporation, elaborates:

   In the survey, more than 60 percent of students say they want to receive a better education, while 19 percent go abroad to【C12】______ the stress of taking China’s university entrance examinations. Due to high living【C13】______ and tuition fees, most young overseas students come from well-off families. Brought up in fairly good conditions, many of them face various【C14】______ living on their own in a strange country. Due to language【C15】______ they also face difficulties communicating with others.
   Shi Yiru, consultant from Shanghai Huashen International Education Corporation, raises some suggestions. "Young overseas students should be more【C16】______ about making new friends. Although schools help【C17】______ their study habits, they should be more independent. Students with strong communication skills are easier at【C18】______ to new circumstances."

【C10】

选项 A、adjacent
B、prestigious
C、expensive
D、foreign

答案D

解析 本题考查语境推理。本文主要探讨了学生毕业后去国外还是留在国内学习的问题。上一句指出“调查中发现70%的学生打算高中毕业后出国留学(读大学)”,本句意为“还有24%计划在高中阶段就出国读书”。词义辨析:adjacent adj.意为“临近的,毗连的”;prestigious adj.意为“久负盛名的”;expensive adj.意为“昂贵的”;foreign adj,意为“外国的”。根据词义,此处选择foreign最为恰当。
