Americans who remember "the good old days" are not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants complain, too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the first mathematics test given to his son as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan who teach mathematics at more advanced level.
But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation? When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the world’s major cities. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed. Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not be able to think or to believe in themselves. Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education is not perfect, but it is better than any other.
26. Who is dissatisfied with the quality of American education?
27. What does the speaker wonder?
28. What do we know about American children from this passage?
选项
A、Do presentday children learn less than their forefathers in the good old days?
B、Why do Japanese businessmen send their children to Japanese-staffed schools?
C、Why can’t American children memorize enough geographic information?
D、Is American education really worse than education in other countries?
答案
D
解析
细节兼推断题。短文中说话者提出了这样的质疑:“如果美国的教育真的那么差,那为什么美国仍然是一个以创新自居的国家?”然后说话者进一步以自己和儿子之间的比较说明了美国教育的优越性。由此不难推断D为正确答案。A、B、C均涉及美国教育体系中的某些问题,但太片面。
