问题     A quality education is the ultimate liberator. It can free people form poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible. For this reason, the international community has committed itself to getting all the world’s children into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All.
    Can Education for All be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely"yes" , although it is a difficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum of five years of primary school, instead of just enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, the challenge will become even more difficult. Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are used as the standard. Still, the goal is achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community. 59 of the 88 countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-performing systems. They also need significant increases in external(外部的)financing and technical support. The 29 countries lagging(落后)farthest behind will not reach the goal without unprecedented(空前的)rates of progress. But this is attainable with creative solutions, including the use of information technologies, flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty.
    A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country’s capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies, institutions and management. Where a country scores well on these standards, foreign assistance can be highly effective.
The goal of Education for All is______.
选项 A、to get all the children in the world to go to primary school by 2015
B、to let poor children have the same chances to go to school as rich ones
C、to supportthose countries determined to reform their education systems
D、to help the poor countries improve productivity and achieve unity
答案A
解析 细节题。根据第一段最后一句“For this reason，the international community hascommitted itself to getting all the world’s children into primary school by 2015，a commitment knownas Education for All．”可知正确答案为A。“commit oneself to…”是一个词组，意思是“承担起……的责任”。题干中的“goal”意为“目标”，“确定……为目标”意思与“以…为责任”大致接近。
