问题     A quality education is the ultimate liberator. It can free people form poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible. For this reason, the international community has committed itself to getting all the world’s children into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All.
    Can Education for All be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely"yes" , although it is a difficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum of five years of primary school, instead of just enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, the challenge will become even more difficult. Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are used as the standard. Still, the goal is achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community. 59 of the 88 countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-performing systems. They also need significant increases in external(外部的)financing and technical support. The 29 countries lagging(落后)farthest behind will not reach the goal without unprecedented(空前的)rates of progress. But this is attainable with creative solutions, including the use of information technologies, flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty.
    A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country’s capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies, institutions and management. Where a country scores well on these standards, foreign assistance can be highly effective.
It can be inferred from the passage that a quality education has the function of______.

选项 A、helping a country free from foreign rule
B、making people become wealthy
C、giving people more power and freedom
D、speeding up the progress of society

答案B

解析 推断题。由文章第一段的“It can free people from poverty(它能让人们摆脱贫困)”可知选项B“making people become wealthy(让人变得富有)”是此句的同义替换,也是本题的正确答案。选项C“giving people more power and freedom”最具干扰性,但请注意,此选项中的“power”和“freedom”两个词虽是文章第一段出现的原词或同源词,却是对原文信息的张冠李戴。因此,在这里也要提醒考生注意,选项中若出现与原文中一模一样的词语的时候,一定要认真比对信息,防止上出题人的圈套。一般人的思维模式都觉得出现文中原词的选项容易给人以“安全感”,殊不知以这种方式出的题很多情况下都为圈套。
