A growing number of U.S. colleges are scrambling to fill classes, a trend analysts say
is driven by a decline in the number of students graduating from high school and
widespread concern among families about the price of higher education.
The admissions upheaval at schools ranging from lower-tier colleges to esteemed
regional ones contrasts with the extraordinary demand for the most elite colleges and
universities.
Demographics pose a major hurdle for many colleges that market primarily to high
school students. The number of new high school graduates peaked in 2011, after 17 years
of growth, and is not projected to reach a new high until 2024, according to the Western
Interstate Commission for Higher Education. Analysts and educators expect that a rising
share of incoming students will need major financial aid.
The economic recovery is also hurting enrollment because fewer people go to college
when jobs are available. According to state data released this week, Maryland colleges
have 2.8 percent fewer students this fall, the second straight year of decline and the
sharpest annual drop in 30 years.

四、Translate the following passage into Chinese.（30 points）
The United Nations climate conference ambled toward a conclusion on Friday, with
delegates saying that the meeting would produce no more than a modest set of measures
toward a new international agreement two years from now. As usual, the biggest dispute
was over money.
The talks, the 19th annual meeting of parties to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, opened nearly two weeks ago in the shadow of a
devastating typhoon in the Philippines. The disaster added momentum to a proposal by
poorer nations for the creation of a new mechanism to compensate developing countries
for damage from climate-related disasters.
With the clock winding down and the talks likely to extend into Friday night, the so-
called loss-and-damage proposal remained alive. But the wealthy countries that would
presumably provide financing for the plan were offering a weaker alternative that would
wrap it into an existing area of the climate treaty.
“There are no surprises here,” said Ronald Jumeau, a Seychelles diplomat who acts
as spokesman for the Alliance of Small Island States, countries likely to be damaged by
rising seas and more intensive storms as greenhouse gases trap ever more energy in the
atmosphere. “It’s brinkmanship.”
