B.It confirms the seriousness of the problem.
C.It further explains the soaring cost.
D.It offers a cause for the rising cost.请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:A
篇章结构题。直接定位至第三段。首句指出“Asenseofurgencyisjustified:ex-studentshavedebtsapproaching$1trillion.”,这是承接第二段末句“ArneDuncan,thesecretaryofeducation,hasurgeduniversitiestoaddresscostswith‘muchgreaterurgency’.”而来。第三段末句“Andrisingcostsareoftensymptomsofmuchdeeperproblems:problemsthatwereirritatingduringtheyearsofaffluencebutwhicharecancerousinanageofausterity.”和第四段首句“Thefirstproblemistheinabilitytosay‘no’.”又是一个顺承关系,可见第三段是一个承上启下的过渡段,对大学学费增加这一问题进行深入的分析,故[A]为答案。
