Professor Martin’s report says that children who attend a number of schools,because their parents have to move around the country,probably make slow progress in their studies.There are also signs,says Professor Martin,that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.
The professor says,“It’s true,my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school.Our feelings are based on research and not on any personal feeling that I or many assistants may have on the subject.”
Captain Thomas James,an army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two,said,“I’ve never heard such rubbish.Taking me for example,no harm is done to the education of my children who change school regularly—if they keep to the same system,as in our Army school.In my experience—and I’ve known quite a few of them—Army children are as well-adjusted(适应)as any others,if not better.What the professor doesn’t appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt(适应)much better than grown-ups.”
When this was put to Professor Martin,he said that at no time has his team suggested that all such children were backward or mentally affected in some way,but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency(倾向).
“Our findings show that while the very bright child can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies,the majority(大多数)of children suffer from constantly(不断地)having to enter a new learning situation.”
21Professor Martin’s report suggests that .
A.it may not be good for children to change schools too often
B.parents should not move around the country
C.children are now making slow progress
D.more and more children are mentally affected
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。由第一段的第一句“ProfessorMartin’sreportsaysthatchildrenwhoattendanumberofschools,becausetheirparentshavetomovearoundthecountry,probablymakeslowprogressintheirstudies.”我们可以得知Martin教授的观点是:孩子们如果转学的次数多,那么他们在学习中所取得的进步就会比较慢。因此项A是正确答案。
22According to the passage,Professor Martin’s personal feeling .
A.is opposite of what his report has shown
B.is in a way supported by his research
C.has played a big part in his research
D.is based on his own experience as a child
答案:B
解析:细节考查题。由文章第二段教授所说的话中得出,教授的观点是通过他的研究得出的,并不是他的个人看法。因此B项为正确答案。
23From the passage,we can conclude that Captain James’s children .
A.have been affected by changing schools
B.go to ordinary state schools
C.can get used to the Army school education
D.discuss their education regularly with their father
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由文章第三段讲述了James上校的观点,他不赞成Martin教授的观点,他以自己的两个孩子为例,认为孩子们只要处于同一教育体系中,不论转多少次学,也不会对他们的教育产生不良的影响。故C项为正确答案。
24According to Professor Martin, suffer from changing schools regularly.
A.army children B.quite a few children
C.bright children D.few children
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由文章最后一句“themajority(大多数)ofchildrensufferfromconstantly(不断地)havingtoenteranewlearningsituation.”告诉我们,大多数的孩子遭受经常变更学习环境之苦。选项B中的短语quiteafew也表示“相当多的”。因此正确答案为B项。
