8．About 30years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son．After getting settled finally in Brunswick，New Jersey，I enrolled（注册） my son in kindergarten．Several weeks later，my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office．
In the teacher's office，and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions："Is your son mentally retarded（弱智的）？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？"
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola？NO，no，it can't be．What a helpless，lonely moment!I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead．I asked him why he was asking me all these questions．
My son could not follow the teacher's directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disruptingthe class，Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet？
He was angry；"Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English？Don't you speak English at home？"
No，I didn't speak English at home，I replied．I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn't want him to forget his native language．Well，wrong answer!What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time？"Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a part of this society？"
Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of"those people．"Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left．
As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over．He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures．He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted，contented life．And he has benefited from being bilingual（双语的）．
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others；it teaches people about other cultures and other places-something very basic and obviously lacking in the"educator"I met in New Jersey．

A to discuss Scola's in-class performance B to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten

分析 本文是一篇记叙文，题材是学校教育．作者通过讲述我与儿子的老师在办公室的谈话的故事，证明我让儿子保留母语的想法是正确的．最后，儿子得益于他的双语技能找到了高薪的工作．
解答 57．A 推理判断题．根据文章第二段中的"My son could not follow the teacher's directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class"可知，儿子不听老师的话，还扰乱课堂．这些都是儿子在课上的表现．故选A．
58．D 猜测词义题．根据文章第四段中的"My son could not follow the teacher's directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class"可知，and前后并列关系，内容相近．所以，根据前文的"他不听老师的指导"可以推知disrupt意为：扰乱．故D正确．
59．C 作者态度题．根据文章最后一段的"Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others； it teaches people about other cultures and other places"可以推知作者认为：不止讲一种语言让人们和（更多的）人进行交流，这教会人们了解其他的地方和文化，这是一些最基本的东西．儿子就得益于双语技能．由此可知作者持积极的态度．故C正确．
60．B 推理判断题．根据文章的语篇解读可知，文章通篇讲述的是有关教育的话题．所以，本文应该是从有关教育的书中节选的．故B正确．
点评 解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．
