A new study has drawn a bleak picture of cultural inclusiveness reflected in the children’s literature available in Australia. Dr. Helen Adam from Edith Cowan University’s School of Education 【C1】 ________ the cultural diversity of children’s books. She examined the books 【C2】 ________ in the kindergarten rooms of four day-care centers in Western Australia. Just 18 percent of 2,413 books in the total collection contained any 【C3】 ________ of non-white people. Minority cultures were often featured in stereotypical or tokenistic ways, for example, by 【C4】 ________ Asian culture with chopsticks and traditional dress. Characters that did represent a minority culture usually had 【C5】 ________ roles in the books. The main characters were mostly Caucasian. This causes concern as it can lead to an impression that whiteness is of greater value.
Dr. Adam said children formed impressions about ’difference’ and identity from a very young age. Evidence has shown they develop own-race 【C6】 ________ from as young as three months of age. The books we share with young children can be a valuable opportunity to develop children’s understanding of themselves and others. Books can also allow children to see diversity. They discover both similarities and differences between themselves and others. This can help develop understanding, acceptance and 【C7】 ________ of diversity. Census data has shown Australians come from more than 200 countries. They speak over 300 languages at home. Additionally, Australians belong to more than 100 different religious groups. They also work in more than 1,000 different occupations. "Australia is a multicultural society. The current 【C8】 ________ promotion of white middle-class ideas and lifestyles risks 【C9】 ________ children from minority groups. This can give white middle-class children a sense of 【C10】 ________ or privilege," Dr. Adam said.
A) alienating F) investigated K)secondary
B) appreciation G) overwhelming L) superiority
C) bias H) portraying M) temperament
D) fraud I) representation N) tentative
E) housed J) safeguarded O) threshold [br] 【C9】
选项
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。空格前面的lifestyles和risks中间没有任何连接词,可知risks在此处不是名词,而是谓语动词,因此空格处应为宾语。risk作动词使用时,后面需跟sth或doing sth,表示“冒……的风险,使……冒风险”,因空格后有名词children,故空格处应填入动词的-ing形式。本文第一段提到,现有的童书对少数族裔的描写太少;第二段提到,孩子从很小开始就会对“差异”和身份形成印象,故推测空格所在句是在描述对白人观念和生活方式的大肆宣扬所产生的消极影响,A)alienating“排斥,疏远”符合语境,故为答案。
