56、n is discouraging thousands of the brightest students from continuing their studies in Britain間接指出了導(dǎo)致這一現(xiàn)象的原因,即the governments immigration crackdown（政府打擊移民的政策）。選項(xiàng) C）Changed immigration policies 對應(yīng) the government，s immigration crackdown,故為答案。文中并沒有提到學(xué)費(fèi)上漲的內(nèi)容，故排 除A）。文中唯一一處提到rising是在第6段，該段提到了移民推高了英國的房價(jià)，但這

57、與 選項(xiàng)B）中所提到的生活費(fèi)的增加并無直接關(guān)系，故排除B）。文章只是在第4段中提到了留 學(xué)生數(shù)量的減少可能導(dǎo)致英國大學(xué)的收入減少的內(nèi)容，但這與縮緊財(cái)政預(yù)算的話題并不相 關(guān)，故排除I）。.【定位】根據(jù)題干中的UK vice-chancellors將此題出處定位于第2、3段?！窘馕觥緽）。這兩段引用英國教育和社會委員會主任喬比爾的話指出，非歐盟國家留 學(xué)生數(shù)量的減少應(yīng)該引起英國的大學(xué)行政主管們的重視。第3段直接闡述了這些大學(xué)行政主 管需要注意的方面：如果英國想要保持它在科研方面的聲望的話，至關(guān)重要的一點(diǎn)就是要吸 引最優(yōu)秀和最有志向的研究生來留學(xué)。選項(xiàng)B）是對該段內(nèi)容的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故為答案，題干 中的

58、biggest concern對應(yīng)原文中的real concern。文中共有兩處涉及英國的大學(xué)行政主 管們要擔(dān)憂的問題。第一處是第2、3段通過英國教育和社會委員會主任喬比爾之口指出了 英國大學(xué)行政主管們要擔(dān)憂的問題，即：留學(xué)生數(shù)量的大幅減少可能會影響英國在科研方面 的聲望。第4段直接指出了英國的大學(xué)行政主管們要擔(dān)憂的另一個(gè)問題，即：留學(xué)生數(shù)量的 大幅減少還會影響學(xué)校的收入。這兩處均沒有涉及怎樣獲得政府財(cái)政支持（選項(xiàng)A）、怎樣 阻止假冒的申請者進(jìn)入他們的學(xué)校（選項(xiàng)C）、怎樣激發(fā)他們的研究團(tuán)隊(duì)的創(chuàng)造力（選項(xiàng)D） 的內(nèi)容，故排除這三項(xiàng)。.【定位】根據(jù)題干中的 UK universities 和 po
