问题     Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.
    Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society’s understanding—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
    Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
    "All men are created equal." We’ve heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country’s founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children—the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

选项 A、Exceptional children refer to those with mental or physical problems.
B、The author use "All men are created equal" to counter the school program for the exceptional children.
C、Recent court decisions confirm the rights of the exceptional children to enjoy the equal rights to learn with the normal ones.
D、Regular school programs fail to meet the requirements to develop the potential of exceptional children.

答案D

解析 细节题。通读全文可知,A项与原文无关。文章的第四段对“All men are created equal”在教育中的含义给予了具体的解释,即“每个孩子具有得到帮助、学到能力极限的权利”,因此B项错误。本文的宗旨是赞同学校对特殊儿童与普通儿童采用不同的教学计划;法律确认的是所有孩子享有适当的教育的权利,这包括特殊儿童的潜能得以最大限度发挥的权利,因此C项错误。D项意为“学校常规的教学计划不能满足特殊儿童发挥潜能的需要”。“调整教学计划适应特殊儿童的必要性”是本文的中心,这与D项内容一致,故本题选D。
