问题     In only two decades Asian American have become the fastest-growing US minority. 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 education 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 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 as 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 image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation . Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because______ .
选项 A、their English is not good enough
B、they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas
C、there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures
D、they know little about American culture and society
答案B
解析 由第一段最后一句可推知，亚裔学生认为在数学和科学领域会得到较公正的对待，而在人文领域会受到不公正的对待。因此正确答案为B。
