Schools expect textbooks to be a valuable source of information for students. My research suggests, however, that textbooks that address the place of Native Americans within the history of the United States distort history to suit a particular cultural value system. In some textbooks, for example, settlers are pictured as more humane, complex, skillful, and wise than Native American. In essence, textbooks stereotype and deprecate the numerous Native American cultures while reinforcing the attitude that the European conquest of the New World denotes the superiority of European cultures. Although textbooks evaluate Native American architecture, political systems, and home-making, I contend that they do it from an ethnocentric, European perspective without recognizing that other perspectives are possible.
One argument against my contention asserts that, by nature, text- books are culturally biased and that I am simply underestimating children’s ability to see through these biases. Some researchers even claim that by the time students are in high school, they know they cannot take textbooks literally. Yet substantial evidence exists to the contrary. Two researchers, for example, have conducted studies that suggest that children’s attitudes about particular culture are strongly influenced by the textbooks used in schools. Given this, an ongoing, careful review of how school textbooks depict Native American is certainly warranted. [br] Which of the following would most logically be the topic of the paragraph immediately following the passage?
选项
A、Specific ways to evaluate the biases of United States history textbooks.
B、The centrality of the teacher’s role in United States history courses.
C、Nontraditional methods of teaching United States history.
D、The contributions of European immigrants to the development of the United States.
E、Ways in which parents influence children’s political attitudes.
答案
A
解析
哪一个从逻辑上讲,最应是文章接下去的论述?文章一开始讲现在的教科书对印第安文化有偏见,后面对此观点进行具体论述,结尾说:应对当前课本如何贬低印第安人文化进行详细检查。后面肯定是继续此论题。∴A正确。评判美国历史教科书的偏见的途径。B、C、E全文无。D.欧洲移民对美国历史贡献。和作者态度正相反。
