问题 What does "illiteracy" in line 1 mean?
It can be learned from the passage that ______.

选项 A、Canada and the U.S. have functionally illiterate population because they hardly paid any attention to the problem
B、functional illiteracy may have been caused at least in part by unsuccessful design of reading tests
C、non-English-speaking immigrant population constitute the majority of all the functionally illiterate
D、it is impractical to determine what functional illiteracy really is as different situations set different requirements

答案B

解析 本题要求考生对文章作合理的推理。选项A与文中最后一小段的第二句矛盾。第二句意为;那些最注意这一概念(functional illiteracy)并进行全国性测试的国家发现了最大的问题,这几乎也不奇怪。此句指出了美国等国家中的矛盾的现实。选项B符合文中最后三句的内容。倒数第三句意为:正如一位教育家以幽默的语气所说,“阅读测试导致了文盲现象”。紧接的一句以加拿大作例证明。最后一句也指出;对此问题的关注也反映了一个事实:在北美学校与学生不断接受测试。综合起来,可推断:至少在functional illiteracy与tests之间有着一定联系,虽然作者并未断然的肯定。选项C是没有根据的臆测,选项D也是如此,因为文中并未涉及majority of the functionally illiterate或different situation和different requirements。
