Americans who remember "the good old days" are not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants (移民) complain, too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the mathematics test given to his son on his first day as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teacher imported from Japan to learn mathematics at Japanese levels, generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here.
But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation (创新) ?
When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had ko memorize the names of all the world’s major cities, from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed.
Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not really be able to think Or to believe in themselves.
Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education certainly is not perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other. I think I have found the answer to my question.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
选项
A、If children are not allowed to experiment freely with ideas they won’t grow up in dependent and creative.
B、Most Americans think the present American educational system is not as good as it used to he.
C、Private schools run by Japanese businessmen maintain a higher level than American public schools.
D、Americans are more innovative than other people in the world.
答案
A
解析
在第四段作者指出:“在这个国家里,他们的孩子可以自由地尝试各种想法;没有这一点,他们将不能真正地思考或相信自己。”反而推知,如果孩子们不能自由地尝试各种想法,他们就不能真正地思考,因此答案为[A]。选项[B]“大多数美国人认为美国现在的教育体制不如从前”中的“大多数”无法从文中推出。选项[C]“日本商人开办的私立学校比美国公立学校水平高”有两处错误,其一日本商人并没有开办学校,只是把孩子送到私立学校去读书,其二作者并不认可这一点。选项[D]“美国人比世界上其他民族更有创新精神”太绝对,文章只是提到美国是一个创新的国家。
