参考答案:D
参考解析:
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“Dr. Godard said fewer students came from India partly because of a currency crisis in the country, but also because of concerns about the Trump administration’s travel ban affecting Muslim countries”可知,印度留学生减少的部分原因在于印度的货币危机,但也出于对特朗普政府涉及穆斯林国家的旅行禁令的担忧,因此A项、B项排除;根据文章第三段第五句“Prospective students from India — interviewed shortly after last year’s presidential election — have expressed fears about the racial climate in the United States”可知,来自印度的预备学生——在总统大选后不久进行面试的学生——表达了对美国种族大环境的担忧,因此C项排除;根据文章第三段最后一句“In fall 2016, the sharpest drops nationally from a year earlier involved students from Brazil and Saudi Arabia, which cut back on funding international scholarships”可知,截至2016年秋,从一年前开始留学生人数下滑最厉害的国家是巴西和沙特阿拉伯,两国削减了国际奖学金经费,因此国际奖学金经费的削减并非印度留学生下降的原因,因此D项正确。故选D。
