问题     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.
What was the excuse the school used to put the speaker in an ESL class?
选项 A、He was influenced by the way his Spanish-speaking parents spoke.
B、He wrote English with many grammatical errors.
C、He did not perform well on the English proficiency test.
D、He refused to attended any other classes.
答案A
解析 根据题干中的关键词excuse定位到文章第二段倒数第二句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.(学校把我留在那儿的唯一借口是我生活在说西班牙语的家庭里，我受到父母说话方式的影响。)可以看出答案为A.
