Soon after starting his job as superintendent (监管人) of the Memphis, Term., public schools, Kriner Cash ordered an assessment of his new district’s 104,000 students. The findings were depressing: nearly a third had been held back at least one academic year. The high school graduation rate had fallen to 67%. One in five dropped out. But what most concerned him was that the number of students considered "highly mobile", meaning they had moved at least once during the school year, had ballooned to 34,000, partly because of the home-foreclosure crisis. At least 1,500 students were homeless — probably more. "I had a whole array of students who were angry, depressed, not getting the rest they needed," Cash says. It led him to consider an unusual proposition: What if the best way to help kids in impoverished (赤贫的) urban neighborhoods is to get them out?
Cash is now calling for Memphis to create a residential school for 300 to 400 kids whose parents are in financial distress, with a live-in faculty rivaling those of elite New England prep schools. If Cash’s dream becomes a reality, it will probably look a lot like SEED, a charter school in Southeast Washington, which stands for Schools for Educational Evolution and Development. Its 320 students — seventh- to 12th-graders — should live on campus five days a week. They are expected to adhere to a strict dress code and keep their room tidy. There are computers in the dorms’ common areas, and each student in grades 10 and above is given a desktop computer. At 11:30 every night, it’s lights out.
In his plan for Memphis, Cash wants even more time. Perhaps the most provocative (能引起 争议的) aspect of his proposal is to focus on students in grades 3 through 5 for homelessness is growing sharply among kids at that critical age, when much of their educational foundation is set, Cash says. His aim: to prevent illiteracy and clear other learning roadblocks early, so the problem "won’t migrate into middle and high school". Students will remain on campus year-round. The school would cost up to $50,000 a day to operate — three times the cost of a traditional day school with more than twice as many students. "It sounds very exciting, but the devil is in the details,’" says Ellen Bassuk, president of the National Center on Family Homelessness in Newton, Mass.
From the passage, we can know the students in SEED______.
选项
A、can use computers in common areas of classrooms
B、are all elites specially selected from prep schools
C、are wanted to obey some rules
D、will have access to desktop computers
答案
C
解析
第二段最后四句话提到,在SEED的学生每周应在学校待5天,学校希望学生们遵守严格的着装规定并保持宿舍整洁,在宿舍的共用区有电脑可供使用,并且十年级以上的学生每人都会获得一台台式电脑,每晚11点半熄灯。由此可知,这些学生要遵守SEED制定的一些的规定,故答案为[C]。电脑是放在宿舍的公用区的,因此可排除[A]; [B]项文中未提到。台式电脑是给十年级以上的学生的,[D]可排除。
