单选题Questions are based on the passage you have just heard.
______________

A．They asked their kids to come home.
B．They borrowed $10,000 from the school.
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.
D．They got help from the school and the federal government.

参考答案D

解析:Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 11-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a
modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
"I have two kids in college, and I want to say 'come home', but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education," says Jacobs.
[9] The jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools,and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan programme. They will each graduate with $10,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
[10] With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobses. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to gain student loans.
At the same time, tuition continues to rise. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
"If we go on this way for another 15 years, we won't have an affordable system of higher education,"says Patrick M. Callan, president of the centre. [11] "The middle-class families have been financing it through debts. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debts."
[12] Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enottgh and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterruptedly.
【预测】选项均以they开头，由其中的borrowed $10，000，do part-time jobs和got help from the school可推知，本题可能考查they解决孩子学费的办法。
【解析】D。由短文中提到的The Jacobs family…asked and received more aid from the schools，and…through the federal loan programme．可知，雅各布斯一家得到了学校的资助和联邦政府的贷款，故答案为D。
