About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children, whatever their background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular.
Some thought it was unfair to minority children. Through the past few decades such testing has gone out of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it.
However, paradoxically, just recently a group of black parents filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in California claiming that the state’s ban on IQ testing discriminates against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test. (They believed, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating children for special education classes. ) The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially, his original decision.
And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligence tested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even facilitating, such testing. If a child of any color or group is doing poorly in school it seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.
What school and family can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not discriminative to evaluate either a child’s physical condition or his intellectual level.
Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time. The same fluctuation back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to do so.
And then tile style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and social agencies felt that black children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what are the best procedures. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed.
As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any child’s intellectual level, the better for the child in question. [br] Child adoption is mentioned in the passage to show that ______.
选项
A、good will may sometimes complicate racial problems
B、social surroundings are vital to the healthy growth of children
C、intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areas
D、American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issues
答案

要点理解题。对于具体事例的作用,一般可以看事例前面总括性的陈述。本篇文章作者在介绍儿童收养问题前提到"Unfortunately,intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject,and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time.”然后说这种情况在其他场合也出现,如儿童收养。显然儿童收养问题所要说明的也是对于一些敏感的问题,法律所允许我们做的在不同的时期也不同。开始白人家庭收养黑人儿童是受
