Schools expect textbooks to be a valuable source of

  information for
students. My research
suggests, however,

  that textbooks that
address the place of
Native Americans

  within he history of
the United States
distort history to suit      

(5) a particular
cultural value system.
In some textbooks, for

  example, settlers are pictured as more humane,
complex,

  skillful, and wise than Native American. In
essence,

  textbooks stereotype and deprecate the
numerous Native

  American cultures while reinforcing the
attitude that the

(10) European conquest of the New World denotes the superi-

   ority of European cultures. Although textbooks evaluete

   Native American architecture, political systems, and home-

   making. I contend
that they do it from an ethnocentric,

(15) European perspective without recognizing that other per-

   spectives are
possible.

One argument against my contention
asserts that, by

   nature, textbooks are culturally biased and that I am simply     

   underestimating
children’s ability to see through these

(20) biases. Some
researchers even claim that by the time

   students are in high school, they know they
cannot take

   textbooks literally. Yet substantial evidence
exists to the

   contrary. Two researchers, for example, have conducted

   studies
that suggest that children’s
attitudes about particular

(25) culture are
strongly influenced by the textbooks used in

   schools. Given this, an ongoing, careful
review of how

   school textbooks depict Native American is
certainly

   warranted.

158。It can be inferred from the passage that the researchers

  mentioned in line 19
would be most likely to agree

  with which of the
following statements?

  (A) Students form
attitudes about cultures other than

      their own
primarily inside the school environment.

  (B) For the most
part, seniors in high school know that

     textbooks can be
biased.

  (C) Textbooks play a
crucial role in shaping the attitudes

and beliefs of students.

  (D) Elementary
school students are as likely to

     recognize biases
in textbooks as are high school

     students.

  (E) Students are
less likely to give credence to history

     textbooks than to
mathematics textbooks.

正确答案是B，看来大家都没有疑惑，所以没有人问这题，而我选A

原因是这个B里的senior是高三的意思，而文中没有特别说是high school里的senior,只是泛泛的说是高中生。所以我觉得题目擅自加个senior是属于“无”

A虽然说的意思不够明朗，但好歹不疼不痒的没错，所以我就选了a,做题的时候我还庆幸呢自己找到了senior这个混淆选项，差点就掉到GMAT的圈套里了。结果发现答案却是B.

有点百思不得其解。

请诸位指教：）

(A) Students form attitudes about cultures other than their own primarily inside the school environment.

注意原文是：那些科学家认为，上高中了（就是年龄大点的话），学生们就自己能够辩别是否bias了。A说的是学生们主要在学校里形成非自己的观点。A中是学生在哪儿（在学校还是在别的地儿）形成的观点跟原文中的科学家观点没关系。注意不要推导过头。

(B) For the most part, seniors in high school know that textbooks can be biased.

刚好说的是在高中，高年级的学生（年龄大点的）能够分辩bias。
