问题     A father’s relationship to his child’s current and future academic success and the level of his or her development in academic potential and scholastic achievement are both factors with some rather interesting implications that educators are beginning to study and appraise. As a matter of fact, "life with father" has been discovered to be a very important factor in determining a child’s progress or lack of progress in school.
    A recent survey of over 16,000 children made by the National Child Development Study in London revealed that children whose father came to school conferences and accompanied their children on outing did measurably better in school than those children whose fathers were not involved in those activities. The study, which monitored children born during a week in March, 1992, from the time of their birth through the years of their early schooling, further revealed that the children of actively-involved fathers scored much higher in reading and math than those children whose only-involved parent was the mother. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role played by fathers in the raising of a child. It indicated a much higher level of parental involvement by the father than had been anticipated. Over 66% of the fathers were said to have played a major role in parental responsibility.
    The study also suggested that the greatest level of paternal parenting took place in the families of only child. As the number of children and financial obligations increases, the father’s apparent interest and involvement with the children decreased. However, no matter what the size or financial condition of the family, a father’s active participation in the child’s, development made a definite difference in the child’s progress.
    The study further revealed that while the frequency of overnight absences reflected a corresponding deficiency(缺陷)of the child’s level in math and reading, a father’s employment on night shifts appeared to have little effect on the child’s academic progress. The data from the Study was obtained primarily through interviews from parents, teachers and physicians. The in formation evaluating the level of the fathers’ parenting performance was elicited(探出)primarily from the admittedly subjective observations of their wives.
The main discovery made in the study was that ______.
选项 A、children in large families tend to do poorly in school
B、a father’s influence played a significant factor in the level of the child’s academic progress
C、mothers were subjective in evaluating the roles played by fathers
D、there is a correlation between socioeconomic status and scholastic achievement
答案B
解析 主旨大意题。要做对此题，我们必须对文章的结构有大概了解。题干是问：研究得出的主要发现结果。文章通过以分论的形式在二、三、四段分别对国家儿童发展研究所进行的调查进行了说明(A recent survey…revealed．．．；the study also suggested that…；the study further revealed…)，综合这三段的结果得出的总的结论也正是文章开头第二句话所提到的主旨：父亲的参与对小孩在学业上的进步与否起着非常重要的作用。选项B正是对此句的同义转述。
