Summary
Listen to the passage.  For questions 26—30, complete the notes using no more than three words for each blank.
   This year has seen a record number of people applying to university. This, combined with the weak economy, an uncertain job market, and budget cuts at universities, has produced even more of a scramble for places than usual. Some sources say six students have applied for each remaining undergraduate place.
   The British University Admissions Service, UCAS, says up to a quarter of this year’s university applicants—almost 190,000 people—have not been admitted into a degree course. That’s an increase of over 46,000 students from last year.
   Faced with these figures, some British students might consider an interesting alternative; studying abroad. The University of Nottingham, for example, is offering places at its campuses in Ning-bo, near Shanghai, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Students at these institutions can earn University of Nottingham degrees in business, accounting, engineering and English. Similarly, the university of Bolton says it has "unlimited" places at its campus in the United Arab Emirates.
   To deal with these problems, the UK’s Higher Education Minister, David Willetts, is encouraging students who haven’t made the grade to consider alternatives to university, such as apprenticeships and studying at home.
   "There are a range of options available," he says. "People can reapply next year, so they should consider spending this year in a way that will add positively to their CVs. Getting practical work experience or other skills will strengthen their chances next year. " Some commentators say, though, that rising university costs, poor long-term job prospects, and a drop in graduate recruitment mean this is the worst time to be a university student in the UK.

选项

答案job prospects

解析 (录音中提到“poor long-term job prospects,and a drop in graduate recruitment mean this is the worst time to be a university student in the UK”,即就业前景的长期萎靡、毕业生招聘率下降意味着这是对英国大学生来说最糟糕的时期。因此填job prospects,表示“就业前景”。)
