113. The reforms to improve the quality of public education that have been initiated on the part of suppliers of public education have been insufficient. Therefore, reforms must be demanded by consumers. Parents should be given government vouchers with which to pay for their children’s education and should be allowed to choose the schools at which the vouchers will be spent. To attract students, academically underachieving schools will be forced to improve their academic offerings. The argument assumes that (A) in selecting schools parents would tend to prefer a reasonable level of academic quality to greater sports opportunities or more convenient location. (B) improvement in the academic offerings of schools will be enforced by the discipline of the job market in which graduation students compete (C) there is a single best way to educate students (D) children are able to recognize which schools are better and would influence their parents’ decisions. (E) schools would each improve all of their academic offering and would not tend to specialize in one particular field to the exclusion of others. 为什么选A呢,原文完全没提到sports,location呀 114.

School superintendent: It is a sad fact that, until now, entry into the academically best high school in our district has been restricted to the children of people who were wealthy enough to pay the high tuition. Parents who were previously denied the option of sending their children to this school now have the option, since I am replacing the tuition requirement with a requirement that allows only those who live in the neighborhood of the school to attend. The superintendent’s claim about the effect of replacing the tuition requirement relies on the assumption that (A) the residents of the school’s neighborhood tent to be wealthy (B) people other than those wealthy enough to have paid the old tuition are able to live in the neighborhood of the school (C) people less wealthy than those who were able to pay the old tuition are in the majority in the district (D) there are no high schools in the district other than the one referred to by the superintendent (E) there are many people not wealthy enough to have paid the old tuition who wish to have their children attend the school 答案选B,但C怎么错了 |
