问题     Barack and Michelle Obama understand the heavy burden of student loan debt. The Obamas did not pay off their student loans until Obama’s best-selling books earned them millions of dollars.
    With the cost of a college education【C1】______ , more than 60% of students take out loans to fund their undergraduate education. On average, students who borrow graduate with debts of $22,700—a【C2】______ of more than 18% from 2000. But some of those with a newly acquired bachelor’s degree are restrained with debts of $40,000 or more. You think this economy’s tough? Try finding a job with the【C3】______ of repaying tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
    Now, a new federal program—Income-Based Repayment—is making it【C4】______ to pay back these loans. If a student chooses to repay her or his loan with this plan, payments are then readjusted—based on their income to something they can【C5】______ afford. All debt will be forgiven after 25 years. A graduate who earns less than 150% of the【C6】______ line won’t have to make any payments. This is in addition to the year-old Public Service Loan Forgiveness program for those【C7】______ in jobs such as law enforcement, public health and social work. Their loans will be forgiven after 10 years.
    This【C8】______ isn’t perfect; the loans have to be federal loans, not【C9】______ . But students with more than one federal student loan can combine them under the program. In some cases, borrowers with large debt and low-to-moderate incomes may benefit at the end of 25 years, with the【C10】______ of their debt forgiven. Others with higher incomes, though, will pay more.
A) earning E) pressure I) balance M) easier
B) state F) initiative J) raising N) working
C) rising G) poverty K) private O) reasonably
D) jump H) public L) barely [br] 【C9】
选项
答案 K
解析 此处应为形容词。not表明空处语义与federal loans相反，联邦贷款属于“公众的”，那么此处应该表示“私人的”，private符合。
