题目解答
答案
1：缺少名词。前面说，但是马萨诸塞州药学院和健康科学学院68%的新生在六年内毕业。去年，近83%的MCPHS毕业生正在偿还他们的学生贷款。而本句说，这两个比率都比全国所有学生的比率的什么高得多。于是，可以结合选项推测出，这里是指这两个比率都比全国的平均值要高得多。名词average是“平均数”，复数形式是averages。因为是两个平均数，所以要用复数。故答案为：C。
2：缺少形容词。本句谈到了最近的头条新闻关于学生贷款违约率上升。而 ( Question 2 ) tuition pricing out low- and middle-income students与上升的学生贷款违约率并列，应该是谈论相类似的问题。动词短语price out表示”因索价过高而无人问津“。所以也是谈论上升的学费。形容词soaring表示”猛增的“。故答案为：I。
3：缺少动词。联系第二题分析可知，本句说的是，最近有关学生贷款违约率上升、学费飞涨导致中低收入学生无法上学、盈利性大学招聘人员丑闻的头条新闻可能怎样一些好消息。动词boast表示“有（值得自豪的东西）”。所以这里应该是指有了一些好消息。故答案为：J。
解析
根据题干，我们需要找到一个名词，表示全国所有学生的平均值。选项中，averages（平均数）符合要求，因为这里指的是两个比率都比全国所有学生的平均值要高得多。
步骤 2：确定问题2的答案
根据题干，我们需要找到一个形容词，表示学费飞涨。选项中，soaring（猛增的）符合要求，因为这里指的是学费飞涨导致中低收入学生无法上学。
步骤 3：确定问题3的答案
根据题干，我们需要找到一个动词，表示有（值得自豪的东西）。选项中，boast（有）符合要求，因为这里指的是有了一些好消息。
