问题    Much controversy (争论) has been caused by the publication of new report by Professor B. J. Martin. The report claims to have statistical evidence that children who attend a number of different schools through their parents having to move around the country in search of work are more likely to have low academic achievement. There are also indications of an unusually high rate of psychological disturbances (骚动) among such children.
   The professor, who has long suspected this negative effect on children, stresses that this is not simply an expression of prejudice. "It’s true, " he says. "My personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal attitudes that my colleagues or I may have on the subject. "
   Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer and father of two, said: "As far as I’ m concerned, absolutely no harm is done to the education of children who change schools regularly--as long as they keep to the same system, as in our Army schools. Army children are as well-adjusted as any others, if not more so. What the professor does not appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt much better than adults. "
   When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his report suggested that all such children were backward or disturbed in some way, but simply that there was a Clear tendency in their experience. While the extremely bright child could cope with regular changes of schools without harming his or her general academic progress, the majority of children suffered from constantly having to enter a new learning environment.  
Captain James’ words mean that ______.
选项 A、his children were not affected by changing schools
B、Army schools usually provide better education than other schools
C、Army children are better adjusted than any others
D、it’s harmful to have children living with their parents all the time
答案A
解析 此题可以采取排除法来完成。文中未提及军校比其他学校的教育更好，排除 B选项。C选项有一定的迷惑性。“Army children are as well-adjusted as any others，if not more so．”是说军队的孩子如果不比其他孩子更能适应新环境的话，那至少是跟其他孩子一样容易适应。C选项太绝对，可以排除。D选项文中未提及。所以我们选A。
