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 main idea of this passage?
选项 A、The necessity of adapting education to exceptional children.
B、The specialty of exceptional children.
C、The introduction of education programs.
D、The responsibilities of government for those exceptional children.
答案A
解析 主旨题。可利用排除法。选项B，特殊孩子的不同之处，文中第一段仅仅一笔带过，说特殊儿童与同龄人有所不同；选项C，介绍教育项目，文中最后一段只提到学校调整教育项目以适应特殊儿童的需要；选项D，政府的职责，并未在文中提及。所以选项A，为特殊儿童制定教育的必要性，为正确答案。
