　　Passage Two

　　People who want to become lawyers traditionally attend three years of law school. (19) Like medical students, many law students are deeply in debt by the time they finish their Juris Doctor, or JD degree. Those who take out loans borrow an average of around 125,000 dollars to attend a private school. The average for public law school is about 75,000 dollars.

　　Almost all graduates must pass a bar examination to get a license to practice law. (20) This is a professional test administered by states. New York University Law School professor, Samuel Estreicher, has written a paper about bar exam requirements. (21) Professor Estreicher suggests that more students should be allowed to take the bar exam after two years of law school. He notes that this was more common in the past. He also suggests a more professional instead of a more academic program of study. Learning more about professional skills, he says, would better prepare a lawyer to serve the needs of average Americans.

　　Some schools offer a two-year program, in addition to three-year traditional courses of study. (22) Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago became the country's first top law school to add an accelerated program——that was in 2009. Northwestern has the same requirements for accelerated students as for three years students. They must learn the same material and pay the same price as students in the traditional program.

　　Some lawyers argue against two year programs. They question whether many law firms would want to hire lawyers without that third year of law school.

　　19. What situation may the most law students be in after graduation?

　　20. Who administers the bar exam?

　　21. What suggestions does Prof. Estreicher make?

　　22. What kind of program does Northwestern University School of Law provide?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题19】A

　　【小题20】C

　　【小题21】B

　　【小题22】D

　　习题解析：

　　【小题19】短文开篇就提及法学专业学生的高昂学费，...many law students are deeply in debt by the time they finish their Juris Doctor, or JD degree 即“很多法学专业的学生读完法学博士或者拿到法学学位后都债台高筑”，所以答案为选项 A。

　　【小题20】短文中明确提到 This is a professional test administered by states.意为“律师执业资格考试是由州一级的机构实施执行的”，故选项 C为答案。

　　【小题21】短文中提到 Prof. Estreicher 的论文时讲了两点建议。其中一点是...more students should be allowed to take the bar exam after two years of law school，即“应该允许更多的法学学生在人学两年后就参加执业考试。”因为法学专业一般是三年制，也就是说，Estreicher 教授建议允许法学学生提前参加考试，因此答案为选项 B。

　　【小题22】短文中提到 Northwestern University School of Law... to add an accelerated program...即“西北大学法学院纳入了快速课程体系……”，可推测这个体系可以让学生能在短期内完成学业，故选项 D正确。选项中的 lasts for a shorter time 与原文中的 accelerated 相对应。
