问题     I was raised speaking English, but I also spoke Spanish at home. When I went to school for the first time, I was enrolled in ESL classes—classes for English as a Second Language. I was also put into the Limited English Proficiency Program. In all these classes, I always got the highest grades. I was the best reader and speaker. There was no reason for me to be in any of those classes.
    When my parents discovered that I was ha those classes instead of in regular classes with other English-speaking students, they went to the school administration to complain about the discrimination. The school had nothing to say. My parents tried to get me out of the ESI classes, but the school fought very hard to keep me there. And then we found out why—for every student the school had in the ESI. and the Limited English Proficiency Program, they would receive $ 400. This was pretty devastating (令人震惊的). The school’s only excuse for keeping me there was that I lived in a Spanish-speaking household, and that I ’was influenced by the way my parents spoke. My parents were outraged, but I remained in the ESL and the Limited English Proficiency Program until I was in the fifth grade.
    Then my parents transferred me to another school where they had friends. The new school gave me an English proficiency test. I aced (考得好,写得好) it. So I didn’t have to attend those programs for non-native English speakers. I was finally on the right track and back at the head of the class. The first school I had attended would have never let me out of those programs or even let me take the test. I was too "Spanish" for them.
The author thought he should attend______.

选项 A、an ESL class
B、regular English classes
C、the Limited English Proficiency Program
D、the class for non-native English speakers

答案B

解析 文章首段第五、六句提到I was the best reader and speaker. There was no reason for me to be in any of those classes. (我是阅读和口语最好的学生,学校没有理由让我呆在那种班里。)考生要理解those classes指的是前面提及的ESL classes和the Limited English Proficiency Program。由第二段首句When my parents discovered that I was in those classes instead of in regular classes with other English-speaking student,they...(当我的父母发现我在那种班级而不是和其他说英语的学生一样在普通班的时候,他们……)可知答案为B。
