Question

The number of Japanese students in the Chinese mainland is more than those studying in the US，according to Japan's Ministry of Education，Culture，Sports，Science and Technology，a Taiwan news outlet reported on Monday．
Japan saw the peak of studying abroad in 2010 when 124，000 sought academic careers overseas．About 61，000 Japanese studied in the US in 2010，about half the total studying abroad．But since then，the number has decreased．In 2015，the number was down to only just over 20，000，about 20 percent of Japanese students being educated overseas．
The number of Japanese going to the Chinese mainland to study has been rising since 2009 and now surpasses the US．
An official spokesman said，"Choices are various for studying abroad nowadays，not just limited to the US．Many Japanese universities have an increasing number of exchange pro-grams with Chinese universities and Japanese companies now tend to prefer people with academic experience in Asia rather than the US or Europe as previously．Tuition fees （学费） are another reason．Annual fees in US universities are almost twice those charged by Chinese universities．"
Some Japanese experts say the decline indicates young Japanese are satisfied with the domestic situation rather than preparing for challenges outside．

Answer 1

29．B，推理判断题，根据句子In 2015，the number was down to only just over 20，000，about 20 percent of Japanese students being educated overseas可知，2015年日本学生留美的有2万人，是留学生的百分之20，因此可以计算出2015年日本留学生有10万人，故答案为B．
30．C，主旨大意题，第四段主要讲了现今日本人来到中国留学是因为日本的大学与中国的大学有交换的项目，以及相对比起美国，在中国留学的学费也比较便宜，因此第四段主要讲了日本学生来中国留学的主要原因，故答案为C．
31．A，词义猜测题，根据句子Some Japanese experts say the decline indicates young Japanese are satisfied with the domestic situation rather than preparing for challenges outside可知，domestic的意思与后面preparing for challenges outside意思相反，因此可以猜测是"国内的，当地的"，故答案为A．
