问题     On June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows;
    We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods...they were totally good for nothing.
    We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.
The passage is about______.
选项 A、the talk between the Indians and the officials
B、the colleges of the northern provinces
C、the educational values of the Indians
D、the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century
答案C
解析 本题问的是本篇短文的中心大意。利用浏览式阅读法和跳跃式阅读法，我们知道本文通过叙述印第安人写给美国马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州官员的一封信的内容，表达了印第安人对美国的高等教育方式持不同态度。因此，本题的正确答案应是“印第安人的教育价值观”，即选择项C。B“北方地区的大学”，D“美国18世纪中叶存在的问题”，以及A“印第安人和美国官员的谈话”，都不是本题的正确答案。
