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. "
Some Chinese students gave up their choices of studying in the States because______.

选项 A、their visa requests were denied
B、they found it hard to hunt a job
C、they lacked qualifications for the program
D、the scholarship couldn’t cover their expenses

答案A

解析 本题为细节题。从第四段的描述可以看出两个中国学生都是因为入境签证遭到拒绝而没能赴美学习。故答案选A。虽然选项B在第三段里有涉及,但并没有特指中国学生很难找工作,同时这个原因也不是中国学生放弃在美读书的原因。选项C所说的不够资格与选项D所说的奖学金未能包含所有费用都与原文叙述不符,因此不是正确答案。
