题目

In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing US minority.As their children began moving up through the nation’s schools,it became clear that a new kind of culture was coming out.Their achievements are made 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 objectively(客观).And the money spent on education is more immediately returned 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 should 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,such as family value,the importance of education and so on that lead to their success.

Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they could cause the native Americans’unhappiness.Many can remember when Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrants(移民)were unequally treated because of social separation.Indeed,it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.

小题1:B

小题1:A

小题1:根据文章第一段倒数第二句可知,既然在理科他们会得到更客观的评价,不公正待遇少一些,言外之意即在人文学科他们得不到客观评价,受不到公正待遇。

小题1:根据文章第一段最后一句可知,用于教育上的钱,学理科,如工程学比学文科回报得更快,所以选D项。

小题1:文章第三段说他们担心自己的成功会使美国人不高兴,并联想到华人在美国受到社会分隔的不公平待遇,从而推知其忧虑之所在。

小题1:从文中描述可判断出,亚裔美国人在本国文化背景中,奠定了良好的数学基础,在美国最好的大学学习,取得了学术成就,其父母敦促他们充分利用美国的教育体制,以及研究人员的发现,从中推知,本土文化与美国教育制度二者缺一不可。
