For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(預(yù)示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home pared to being raised in a home with a 500book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education. Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesseducated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. Evans said, Even a little bit goes a long way. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get. The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children39。s educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father39。s occupation or the economic level of the country. Having books in the home is twice as important as the father39。s education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in a developed country and children born in a developing country was just 2 years, less than twothirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.（1）In the past educators held a point of view that ______ . A.children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of educationB.children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich familiesC.children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of educationD.parents39。 level of education had nothing to do with their children39。s levels of education（2）What does the underlined word motivating in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Making somebody want to do something.B.Helping somebody to finish somethingC.Making somebody pretend to do something.D.Preventing somebody from achieving something.（3）Which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will gain? A.The economic level of the country.B.The father39。s occupation.C.Education levels of parents.D.Having books in the home.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，分析了影響孩子教育水平的因素，告訴我們家里有書(shū)對(duì)孩子的重要性勝于家長(zhǎng)受過(guò)高等教育的影響。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(預(yù)示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated”. 多年來(lái)，教育工作者一直認(rèn)為，預(yù)示孩子能獲取高教育水平的最強(qiáng)的因素莫過(guò)于有受過(guò)高等教育的父母”?？芍^(guò)去教育家們認(rèn)為受過(guò)高等教育的父母的孩子將獲得高水平的教育。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。文章第二、三段一直說(shuō)家中有書(shū)對(duì)孩子的積極影響。再根據(jù)第三段中的“Even a little bit goes a long way. ...the greater benefit the children get” 即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)書(shū)，也能大有幫助......你家的書(shū)越多，孩子得到的好處就越大?！笨芍瑫?shū)對(duì)孩子有很大影響。所以劃線詞的句子“Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education”這句話是說(shuō)“ 即使家里只有20本書(shū)，在激勵(lì)孩子接受更高層次的教育方面仍然有很大的影響”。所以，家中有書(shū)可以激勵(lì)孩子獲得更高層次的教育水平。由此可推斷出劃線詞的意思是“使某人想做某事”。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children39。s educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father39。s occupation or the economic level of the country.” 研究者們感到震驚的是，在家里看書(shū)對(duì)孩子的
