In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U. S. minority (少数民族). As their children began moving up through the nation’s schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer.
An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial (种族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until l952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
Why do the two "explanations" (Para. 3, Line l)worry Asian Americans?
选项
A、They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.
B、People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
C、Asian American would be a threat to other minorities.
D、American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.
答案
A
解析
本题为细节辨认题。该句含义为,亚裔学生担心,这样一来(即从文化差异、家庭教育等角度解释亚裔学生的成功),就会树立起一种典型的种族形象,也许会促成新一轮的社会隔离。文章接下来举例说,人们也许还记得当年中国、日本、菲律宾移民成为种族隔离受害者的情景。由此可知,亚裔学生担心自己会被美国社会隔离。
