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 was placed in the limited English Proficiency class because______.
选项
A、his English was not good enough
B、he would be able to help other Spanish-speaking students
C、the school wanted to prepare him for academic courses
D、the school wanted to have more money
答案
D
解析
根据文章第二段第四句And then we found out why—for every student the school had in the ESL and the Limited English Proficiency Program,they would receive $400.(接着我们就找到了原因——对于每一个ESL班和参加“有限英语技能培训项目”的学生学校可以收400美元),也就是说作者认为真正的原因是学校想赚钱。
