在2014年考研英语一阅读理解中，考生需要面对一系列的英文文章，并进行翻译。以下是一个假设的原文段落及其翻译：
原文：
"Last year, the number of students applying for graduate programs increased significantly, driven by the growing demand for advanced education and the pursuit of better job opportunities. Many graduates are opting for further studies to enhance their competitiveness in the job market. However, the increasing competition has also led to a rise in the number of students seeking help from private tutoring services to improve their chances of admission to prestigious universities."
翻译：
"去年，申请研究生项目的学生人数显著增加，这主要是由对高等教育日益增长的需求以及对更好工作机会的追求所推动的。许多毕业生选择继续深造以提高在就业市场上的竞争力。然而，日益激烈的竞争也导致寻求私人辅导服务的学生人数增加，以期提高进入知名大学的机会。"
