A total of 3.41 million people have applied for the postgraduate entrance examination, that will begin on Saturday and last until Monday. Data releasing by an information website showed the number of students taking the exam have doubled in Jiangsu, Sichuan, and other province in the past five years.
The increase in postgraduate applicants is that the demand for higher education in China remains strongly. Xiong Bingqi, vice-director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said manystudents apply to postgraduate studies mainly to find a better job."Many people pursue highly education not only to enhance their know ledge or skills, and to get a good job. This may reduce the general quality of graduates. As result, companies may find it harder to get the employees they want," he said.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章分析了我国研究生申请人数增加的原因。
1.考查定语从句。分析句子可知，此处是非限制性定语从句关系词，先行词the postgraduate entrance examination在从句中充当主语，应用关系代词which，故将that改为which。
2.考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知此处应用非谓语动词作为后置定语，逻辑主语data和release之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，故将releasing改为released。
3.考查主谓一致。the number of “……的数量”是第三人称单数，谓语动词应用has done，故将have改为has。
4.考查名词的数。根据上文的Jiangsu, Sichuan和other判断此处用名词复数形式，故将province改为provinces。
5.考查表语从句连接词。句意：研究生申请人的增加是因为中国对高等教育的需求依然很大。分析句子可知，此处是表语从句连接词，从句缺少原因状语，故将that改为because。
6.考查形容词。分词句子可知，此处应用形容词作为系动词remain的表语，故将strongly改为strong。
7.考查介词。此处考查短语apply for “申请……”，故将to改为for。
8.考查形容词。分析句子可知，此处应用形容词修饰名词education，故将highly改为high。
9.考查固定搭配。此处考查固定搭配not only…but (also)…“不但……而且……”，故将and改为but。
10.考查冠词。此处是固定短语as a result“因此”，故在As后加a。
