参考答案【正确答案：A】
判断题。根据出题顺序和题干中的信号词the reason定位到第一段第二句：As colleges strivefor market share，they are looking for names that project the image they want or reflect the changesthey hope to make。as是表示原因的强逻辑词汇，所以strive for market share是学校更名的一个原因，即B选项是学校更名的一个原因。此外, that引导的定语从句中也说明了学校更名的另外两个原因：project the image they want 和 reflect the changes they hope to make, 艮P C 选项和D选项是学校更名的另外两个原因。A选项意为“它们更喜欢高等教育的竞争”，属于无中生有, 所以A选项为正确答案。
