问题 It can be inferred from the passage that accidental-death damage awards in America during the nineteenth century tended to be based principally on the______
It can be inferred from the passage that in the early 1800’s children were generally regarded by their families as individuals who______
选项 A、needed enormous amounts of security and affection
B、required constant supervision while working
C、were important to the economic well-being of a family
D、were unsuited to spending long hours in school
E、were financial burdens assumed for the good of society
答案C
解析 C is the best answer. In the second paragraph, the author describes how during the nineteenth century the concept of the “ ‘useful’ child who contributed to the family economy” (lines 23-24) gradually gave way to the present-day notion of the economically “useless” but emotionally “priceless” child. This new view of childhood was “well established among segments of the middle and upper classes by the mid-1800’s” and “spread throughout society in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries” (lines 31-38). Thus in the early 1800’s, prior to the shift in the valuation of children, families valued the role children had to play in the family’s economic well-being. A and E describe attitude more in accord with the present-day view of childhood. B and D address issues that are not raised in the passage.
