问题     In recent years, teachers of introductory courses in Asian American studies have been facing a dilemma nonexistent a few decades ago, when hardly any texts in that field were available. Today, excellent anthologies and other introductory texts exist, and books on individual Asian American nationality groups and on general issues important for Asian Americans are published almost weekly. Even professors who are experts in the field find it difficult to decide which of these to assign to students; non-experts who teach in related areas and are looking for writings for and by Asian American to include in survey courses are in an even worse position.
    A complicating factor has been the continuing lack of specialized one-volume reference works on Asian Americans , such as biographical dictionaries or desktop encyclopedias. Such works would enable students taking Asian American studies courses(and professors in related fields)to look up basic information on Asian American individuals, institutions, history, and culture without having to wade through moun- tains of primary source material. In addition, give such works, Asian American studies professors might feel more free to include more challenging Asian American material in their introductory reading lists, since good reference works allow students to acquire on their own the background information necessary to interpret difficult or unfamiliar material.
According to the passage, the existence of good one volume reference works about Asian Americans could result in
选项 A、increased agreement among professors of Asian American studies regarding the quality of the sources available in their field.
B、an increase in the number of students signing up for introductory courses in Asian American studies.
C、increased accuracy in writings that concern Asian American history and culture.
D、the use of introductory texts about Asian American history and culture in courses outside the field of Asian American studies.
E、the inclusion of a wider range of Asian American material in introductory reading lists in Asian American studies.
答案E
解析 一本好的关于亚裔美国人的参考书能够：这是文章第二段作者所建议的，其效果有二：L23—30帮助学生、教授查资料。L30～35使教授能推荐一些较难文章。∴E正确，在亚裔研究基础阅读书目中包括更广的内容。上述总结的第二点。A、B、C、D皆为原文未提内容。
