问题     Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of unfortunate circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modem states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—those purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits?
    So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births; but out spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of "college" imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge inherited by tradition is, shared by this respect that everybody is equipped for life.
    It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" in which only our most progressive forms of modem education try to regain. In primitive cultures tile obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterate"—if the term can be applied to people without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1976, and still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we considered it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries.
    Education in the wilderness is not a matter of financial means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry that, in our society, often hinders the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever present attention of his parents; therefore is jungles and the savages know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in the neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to buy an education for his child. [br] The best title for this passage is ______.
选项 A、Educational Investment and Its Return
B、All Are Entitled to an Equal Start
C、Education in Civilized Nations
D、The Significance and Development of Education
答案 B
解析 主旨题。本文是从equal start这个角度谈教育的意义及教育平等这一问题的，主要通过对教育的过去与现在进行对比以说明主旨，因此，B“所有人都有权享受平等起点”最具概括性，可作标题。A“教育投资及其回报”只是在文章第一段有所提及，它的目的是为了后面讲述教育的权利享受平等作铺垫，不能作为题目；C“文明国度的教育”只是在第三段提到一些文明国家的义务教育，不够全面，故也不能作为题目，一般来说，只要是某一段落的大意，就不能作为文章的标题或文章的中心思想；D“教育的意义及发展”，而文章只提到了教育的意义并未提到发
