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. "
The increase in applications for MBA in Britain is due to______of the universities.
选项 A、the locations
B、the reputation
C、the academic levels
D、the tuitions and facilities
答案B
解析 本题为细节题，需要说明英国MBA申请者的数量增加主要原因是什么。文章最后一段明确表示“Better rankings attract better students，who in turn improve the ranking．”。这就说明好的名誉吸引来好学生，反过来好学生就进一步提高了学校的声誉。故选项B是MBA项目申请人增加的主要原因。选项A、C、D提出的三个因素在文章中并未提及。
