Proposals for extending the United States school year to bring it more in line with its European and Japanese counterparts are often met with the objection that curtailing the schools’ three-month summer vacation would violate an established United States tradition dating from the nineteenth century. However, this object misses its mark. True, in the nineteenth century the majority of schools closed for three months every summer, but only because they were in rural areas where successful harvests depended on children’s labor. If any policy could be justified by those appeals to tradition, it would be the policy of determining the length of the school year according to the needs of the economy. The argument counters the objection by
选项
A、providing evidence to show that the objection relies on a misunderstanding about the amount of time each year United States schools traditionally have been closed.
B、calling into question the relevance of information about historical practices to current disputes about proposed social change.
C、arguing for an alternative understanding of the nature of the United States tradition regarding the length of the school year.
D、showing that those who oppose extending the school year have no genuine concern for tradition.
E、demonstrating that tradition justifies bringing the United States school year in line with that of the rest of the industrialized world.
答案
C
解析
作者在驳斥异议时,对异议的论据进行了驳斥,指出在19世纪时,学校放三个月的暑假是因为孩子们要参加收割庄稼,很显然19世纪时学校放长假是出于经济上的需要 而今天美国已成了一个工业化国家,经济上不再有让孩子们帮助收割庄稼的需要.因此作者是从另一方面来理解美国在传统上学年长度的实质,并通过釜底抽薪的办法来驳斥异议,所以(C)是正确答案。(A)、(B)、(D)和(E)都不能从短文中合理地推出。
