问题     Education is one of the key words of our time. A man, without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of unfortunate circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, is punctuated by textbooks — those purchasable wells of wisdom — what would civilization be like without its benefits?
    So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births; but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on " facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of "college" imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect everybody is equally equipped for life.
    It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to reach again. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding on all. There are no "illiterates" — if the term can be applied to peoples without a script — while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1976, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we considered it necessary to make sure that all our children should share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries.
    Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry that, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents; therefore the jungles and the savages know of no "juvenile delinquency(违法行为)". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child.  
It can be inferred from the last paragraph that______.

选项 A、all people have access to an equal start in education in the wilderness
B、education in the primitive cultures has nothing to do with money
C、juvenile delinquency in our society arises from parents’ inadequate attention to their children
D、a child generally grows up in the presence of his parents’ attention in our society

答案C

解析 段落推断题的题干缺乏有价值的信号词,可将选项一一回文定位,做比对判断。但切记:若有不止一个选项与原文语义一致时,则要选那个由原文信息“推断”出来的“深刻”选项,而非字面一致的“肤浅“选项。
