问题 资料：Britain is facing a “crisis of fatherlessness” in which almost half of all children born today will not be living with both parents by the time they are 15, the new chief executive of the thinktank founded by Iain Duncan Smith has warned.Andy Cook, who runs the Centre for Social Justice, which is chaired by the former cabinet minister, argued that regular contact with a father figure reduced criminal behavior in children and boosted cognitive skills including reasoning and language development.Cook claimed there was too much of a “throwaway culture” to parenting, adding: “Over the last 40 years, the meteoric rise in family breakdown has blighted （损害） the lives of the poorest children the most. The relationship children have with their fathers affects their self-esteem, how well they do at school, even whether they are able to form happy, long-lasting relationships as adults.”Cook said it was inevitable that relationships would not always work out, but argued that a culture shift could reduce the prevalence of family breakdown, and stressed the importance of parenting once couples had separated.“We need a societal shift in perspective from regarding fathers as a dispensable extra to recognizing their value as a crucial pillar in a child’s life.” he said.Cook argued policy ought to be focused on longer-term thinking, and emphasizing the potential impact on children of troubled relationships, stressing the disproportionate effect on the poorest. His thinktank’s figures show that by the age of five 48% of children in low-income families are not living with both parents, compared with 16% of children in middle-to higher-income families.He said his work would also focus on four other factors that contributed to poverty: educational failure, worklessness, problem debt and addiction. Looking only at income levels skewed policy, he added. Despite controversy in the education sector about the growth of grammar schools, Cook argued that there was evidence they could be successful if headteachers tried to find the most talented children from poorer families.The former chief executive of the Centre for Social Justice, Christian Guy, who became the PM's poverty adviser, said the hope of the previous strategy was to “start a parenting revolution——for too long politicians looked away as family instability and poor child development blighted lives in the poorest neighbourhoods”.“Parents want what's best for their children, but great advice tends to be the preserve of the better off. This has to change if we want to see children starting school ready to lead to communicate and forming healthy relationships”.Cook implies that the key to the fight against poverty is______.A.preferential policies for the poorer childrenB.more comprehensive research into its causesC.headteachers good at inspiring talented childrenD.solutions to the conflict in the education sector
选项 A.preferential policies for the poorer children
B.more comprehensive research into its causes
C.headteachers good at inspiring talented children
D.solutions to the conflict in the education sector

【关键词】Cook; implies that; the key to the fight against poverty
【主题句】倒数第二段He said his work would also focus on four other factors that contributed to poverty: educational failure, worklessness, problem debt and addiction. Looking only at income levels skewed policy, he added. Despite controversy in the education sector about the growth of grammar schools, Cook argued that there was evidence they could be successful if headteachers tried to find the most talented children from poorer families. 他说，他的工作还将关注导致贫困的其他四个因素：教育失败，无法工作，债务问题和成瘾。他补充说，只关注收入水平偏向政策。尽管教育部门对文法学校的发展存在争议，但库克认为，如果校长们试图找到贫困家庭中最有才华的孩子，那么就有证据证明他们是可以成功的。
本题的问题是“库克认为与消除贫困的关键是______” 选项A 意为“贫困儿童的优惠政策”；选项B意为“对其原因进行更全面的研究”；选项C意为“校长擅长鼓舞有才华的孩子”；选项D 意为“解决教育部门的冲突”。根据主题句，库克认为如果校长能发现最有才华的孩子，那么就可以取得成功，所以选项C符合题意。
