【解析】本文介紹了現(xiàn)在美國大學(xué)錄取情況。大學(xué)報(bào)名可以是網(wǎng)上報(bào)名或者普通的報(bào)名方式也行；一些大學(xué)采取給學(xué)生送禮物的方法來吸引生源；有的學(xué)校則采取拿出經(jīng)費(fèi)給學(xué)生作為補(bǔ)貼的方式來吸引生源�？傊�各個(gè)大學(xué)都采取的不同的方式盡量招收更多的生源。 (1)考查的是上下文的語境理解能力。從空前面Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lowerthan ever．得知B項(xiàng)（是什么造成了這種情況？）正確，頂尖院校的錄取率今年比以往任何時(shí)候都低。It 代指前面的情況。故選B。 (2)考查的是上下文的語境理解能力。從空前面看These days, college applicants are applying to more collegesbecause online and common applications make the process easier．目前，大學(xué)申請者正在申請更多的大學(xué)因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)上和普通的申請使這一過程更容易�？蘸笠痪涞囊馑际牵毫硪环矫�，決定頂尖大學(xué)的學(xué)生能接受有時(shí)會很難因?yàn)樾枰�花很多時(shí)間。得知F項(xiàng)（這意味著有幾個(gè)申請可以從中選擇。）正確。故選F。 (3)考查的是上下文的語境理解能力。從空前面看Some universities send gifts．一些大學(xué)寄送禮物�？唇酉聛響�(yīng)該是：但是頂尖的大學(xué)卻忽視這一切。所以D項(xiàng)正確。 (4)考查的是上下文的語境理解能力。從空前面看the weak economy makes parents nervous．虛弱的經(jīng)濟(jì)使家長（經(jīng)濟(jì)）很緊張。由此判斷此處需要的句意是：他們不能如期支付大學(xué)的費(fèi)用。所以G項(xiàng)正確。 (5)考查的是上下文的語境理解能力及主題句的概括能力。空后的The Education Department expects the number of high schoolgraduates to start to go down．意為：教育部預(yù)測高中生的數(shù)量開始下降。由此判斷此處需要的句意是：而且頂尖的大學(xué)正面臨著人數(shù)的變化。所以A 項(xiàng)正確。
