Americans who remember "the good old clays" 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 teachers 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 to memorize the name of all the world’s major cities, from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up by 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 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.
In the last paragraph the author says, "I have found the answer to my question. " What is the question?
选项
A、Is Japanese education better than American education?
B、Why do Japanese businessmen send their children to Japanese-staffed schools?
C、Why was my son not taught enough geographic knowledge?
D、Is American education really worse than education in other countries?
答案
D
解析
本题属于推理判断题,但从提问形式上看似词汇语义题,而且也涉及整篇义章的主题。作者通过整篇文章就是要说明美国的教育不比任何国家差,而且是有优势的。其优势就是对学生自由思维能力和创造性的培养。显然这里“我找到了问题的答案”中的问题就是“美国的教育真的比别的国家差吗”,因此选项D)为正确答案。
