问题     Exceptional children are different in some significant way from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.
    Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society’ s understanding—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
    Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
    "All men are created equal." We’ ve heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country’ s founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children— the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.
What is the purpose for the author to cite the example of stage in paragraph 2?
选项 A、To show those exceptional children are more easily influenced than normal children.
B、To indicate those exceptional children have great potentials.
C、To identify all men are born to be equal.
D、To illustrate the importance of environment such as family and society.
答案D
解析 推断题。题干问，第二段作者引用舞台这个例子的目的是什么。此题需联系上下文，这个例子前一句，表明虽然我们关注特殊儿童的需求，但也发现我们需要谈论其处境。例子后一句，表明特殊儿童生活的家庭与社会环境是他们成长与发展的关键。例子中舞台上的主角代指特殊儿童，配角和舞台布景便代指家庭与社会环境。所以．正确答案是D。
