As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society.
The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses and other agencies.
Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were one such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home.
Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home. In the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemaker — cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date. [br] According to the passage, one important change in the United States education by 1920s was that______.
选项
A、most places required children to attend schools
B、the amount of time spent on formal education was limited
C、new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education
D、adults and children studied in the same classes
答案
A
解析
本题细节定位于第二段第二句话“By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states,and the school year was greatly lengthened”。由此可知,到了1920年,在大多数州,14岁或以上的孩子接受义务教育,学年也大大延长。A项“大多数地区要求孩子去上学”符合原文。B,C两项原文中并未提及。除了要求儿童去上学之外,还有针对成人开设的班级,但成人和儿童并不是在同一个班级里上课,故D项不正确。因此选择A。
