Question

About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注冊(cè)) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “ Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry: “ Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”
No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn’t want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “ Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and sent them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”
Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “ those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.
As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(雙語(yǔ)的)。
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places- something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.

試題分析：本文體裁為記敘文，故事類閱讀理解，作者被孩子的老師叫到學(xué)校談?wù)摵⒆釉谛１憩F(xiàn)的問(wèn)題。
小題1:推理判斷題。從文章前半部分特別是第二、四、五段老師的提問(wèn)可以推斷：老師叫作者去學(xué)校是討論孩子在課堂上的表現(xiàn)問(wèn)題的。故選C。
小題2:詞義猜測(cè)題。從老師的話語(yǔ)中可知，孩子在校的行為嚴(yán)重?cái)_亂了課堂，故可以推測(cè)詞義為打擾的意思。故選B。
小題3:推理判斷題。對(duì)作者的觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行推理。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第一、二段及and he benefited from being bilingual可知作者的態(tài)度是積極的。所以答案為A。
小題4:推理判斷題。文章講訴的是教育孩子，所以應(yīng)該是節(jié)選自有關(guān)教育的雜志或文章，故選Education。
因此選D。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：要想答好題目，重在理解全文意思。這篇文章比較難，先看問(wèn)題，再帶著問(wèn)題讀短文，找出各段落的主旨句，理解全文內(nèi)容，總結(jié)全文中心，然后再回到問(wèn)題上來(lái)，很容易選出正確答案。多了解一些常識(shí)性知識(shí)有利于閱讀理解。如果對(duì)文章的相關(guān)背景有所了解，讀起文章一定既省時(shí)又省力。因此，在學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中，了解各方面的背景知識(shí)是十分重要的。
