二、阅读理解：选择题（每题10分）
Liu Hui interviews Dr. Smith about the issue of educational inequality.
Liu Hui: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for agreeing to be interviewed by our Campus News Weekly. First, what do you mean by educational inequality
Dr. Smith: Educational inequality is the disparity that certain students experience in their education as compared to other students. But the meaning of it varies in different social contexts.
Liu Hui: Why does it exist in modern society
Dr. Smith: Well, researchers link educational inequality to socioeconomic, racial and geographic reasons.
Liu Hui: So it is very likely that educational inequality exists in different forms in different countries.
Dr. Smith: Yeah, you are right. For example, in the United States, although skin color is linked to other forms of inequality, it is evident in education.
Liu Hui: Educational inequality exists in China, too. For example, the college entrance rate is much higher in Beijing than in other provinces. How do you think can we someday eradicate the inequality
Dr. Smith: It's impossible to answer such a big question in few words. Educational inequality has become one of the most important political and social issues in every nation nowadays. There have been numerous attempts at reforms and..... 1. Well, researchers link educational inequality to 回答 A. socioeconomic, racial and educational reasons B. racial, economic and geographic reasons C. racial, socioeconomic and geographic reasons 2. According to the passage, 回答
A. in the United States, skin color is linked to other forms of inequality, but not in education
B. in the United States, skin color is only linked to the form of inequality in education C. in the United States, skin color is linked to the inequality in education 3. Educational inequality exists in 回答 A. China only
B. many countries C. all the countries
4. What does the word “eradicate” mean in the passage 回答 A. get rid of B. cope with C. carry out
5. What's the attitude of Dr. Smith to the future of education equality 回答 A. reserved B. positive C. negative 反馈
答案： 3. C 4. A 5. B 解析：
1. 从Well, researchers link educational inequality to socioeconomic, racial and geographic reasons.这句话可以看出，选项C是完全正确的。
2. For example, in the United States, although skin color is linked to other forms of inequality, it is evident in education. 这句话中，evident意思是“明显的”，所以我们可以分析出在美国肤色和教育的不平等有关系，而且此句还表示肤色与其他方面的不平等有关联，所以选C选项。
3. 根据Dr. Smith最后一段话里的Educational inequality has become one of the most important political and social issues in every nation nowadays. 这一句，可以判断教育的不公平存在于每一个国家，所以正确选项是C。
4. 从Dr. Smith的回答中，我们可以了解到“每个国家都存在着教育不公平现象，而且解决这个问题是很难的”。 从这个回答，我们可以根据上下文猜出eradicate的意思。get rid of意思是“消除”，cope with是“处理，应付”，carry out意思是“实施”，set up是“建立”，所以选A。
5. 最后一段的主要意思是 “虽然每个国家都存在教育不公平现象，但是大家都在试图改革”， Dr. Smith对未来的教育公平还是持有积极的态度的。reserved意
