【難句解析】
1. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget.
【解析】when引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，其后是主句，該主句中的familiar with the state government是形容詞短語作定語，修飾leader;而句末a major source of the university’s budget 是同位語來說明the state government。
【譯文】例如，科羅拉多大學(xué)董事會在遴選新校長時，他們想聘用一個與州政府熟悉的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，因為州政府是學(xué)校的主要資金來源。
2. In 2003，when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “ a major strengthening of Yale’s
financial position.”
【解析】句首的when 從句是非限制性定語從句，補充說明2003。句子的主句是the university…stressed that…，其中that引出賓語從句。賓語從句中的主句為she had overseen a major strengthening。
【譯文】2003年，劍橋大學(xué)任命前耶魯大學(xué)教務(wù)長艾莉森?理查德為副校長。學(xué)校公開強調(diào)艾莉森之前的工作確保了“耶魯大學(xué)財政狀況良好”。
3. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body.
【解析】本句的主干簡單易懂，是The globalization of education means…。但其后的賓語從句的結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，該從句的主干是more universities will be seeking heads，heads 之后的with international experience of some kind 是介詞
短語做定語。句末的to promote international programs and attract a global student body是目的狀語。
【譯文】教育全球化意味著更多的大學(xué)將要聘用那些具有國際經(jīng)驗的校長，以促進(jìn)國際間項目的合作，招收留學(xué)生。

投入。而政府的投入?yún)s沒能跟上不斷擴(kuò)大的學(xué)生規(guī)模。因此可知學(xué)校的大部分資金來源于政府，故選擇D選項。
【干擾項分析】B項是強干擾項，根據(jù)第四段第一、二句可知很多歐洲大學(xué)仍然依靠政府投入，但卻沒有提及學(xué)校運轉(zhuǎn)受到政府的嚴(yán)格監(jiān)督。A、C項文中均未提及。
