Historians tend to tell the same joke when they are describing history education in America. It’s the one【51】the teacher standing in the schoolroom door【52】goodbye to students for the summer and calling after them. "By the way, we won World War II. "
The problem with the joke, of course, is that it’s not funny. The recent surveys on【53】illiteracy are beginning to numb. nearly one third of American 17-year-olds cannot even【54】which countries the United States fought against in that war. One third have no idea when the Declaration of Independence was【55】. One third thought Columbus reached the New World after 1750. Two thirds cannot correctly【56】the Civil War between 1850 and 1900. Even when they get the answers right, some are just guessing.
Unlike math or science, ignorance of history cannot be【57】connected to toss of international competitiveness. But it does affect our future【58】a democratic nation and as individuals.
The good news is that there is growing agreement on what is wrong with the【59】of history and what needs to be done to fix it. The steps are tentative (尝试性的)【60】yet to be felt in most classrooms. [br]
选项
A、exclusively
B、practically
C、shortly
D、directly
答案
D
解析
数学和科学的落后会直接导致一个国家缺乏国际竞争力。但对历史的无知则不同。D项directly为正确答案。A项exclusively意为“唯一地;全部地”;B项practically意为“实际上,事实上”;C项shortly意为“立刻,不久;简短地”。它们都与句意不符。
