问题 (非英语类学生必做)
    Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18 foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.  
What was the original reason for holding the summer school?

选项 A、The father wanted the children to learn more about religion.
B、The children got poor grades in their regular school.
C、The regular school teachers neglected the children.
D、Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religion.

答案D

解析 文章第三、四句话说,似乎没有足够的时间去教堂,这一点困扰着一些亲友。由于被指责忽视了这部分的教育,父亲为“我”和弟弟搞了一个暑期学校。A项容易被误选,是说父亲希望孩子们学习更多宗教。误选原因是将第三、四句话割裂开来看,没有注意到这两句之间的内在关系。
