Read the following article carefully, then choose the best answer to each question (1.0 point)
Scientia potentia est is a Latin saying that means “Knowledge is power”. According to some
recent positive trends in education, young people around the world are taking the adage to heart. Over
the past two decades, there has been a surge in the numbers of university graduates, as well as in the
numbers of students studying internationally.
Some countries are actively making an effort to encourage students to study abroad. Saudi Arabia,
for example, started the King Abdullah Scholarship Program in 2005. The program pays for Saudi
students to travel overseas to attend university. China has the largest university system in the world.
There are nearly two million students per year graduate from its 2500 + institutions of higher education,
many of them from nations other than China. Other countries from France to Oman to South Korea are
also expanding their university systems to accommodate this swelling tide. With the global economic
crisis resulting in fewer job opportunities and more competition for existing jobs, it’s clear a college
education – and better still, an international one – is becoming more a necessity than a luxury.
In addition to the growing numbers of students studying internationally, it is important to note the
role of new technology. Contrary to past limitations, today’s laptop-toting students literally have the
world at their fingertips. They can enter a virtual campus with few or no international or intellectual
boundaries. They can enroll in online courses with classmates from various other countries, download
lectures from international universities, and network with students, professors, and prospective employers
on the other side of the world.
As these global education trends continue to create wonderful opportunities for international
networking in the academic arena, we can be hopeful that this spirit of global cooperation will result in
lasting positive effects on foreign relations in the long term.
Question 27: What does the article discuss?
A. how technology assists students in their university education
B. an increase in the numbers of universities in some countries
C. trends in university education and global graduates
D. the way some countries expand their university systems
Question 28: The words “taking the adage to heart” would most probably mean ______.
A. attending universities abroad
B. clearly remembering what they study at university
C. thinking about the saying seriously
D. having university education abroad
Question 29: According to the article, which country financially supports its students when having
university education in another country?
A. Oman B. Saudi Arabia
C. China D. South Korea
Question 30: According to the article, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. The numbers of people having university education is increasing.
B. China has the most university graduates in the world.
