As their children began moving up through the nations schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achiever

53、s was forming. Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began t

54、heir educations abroad arrived in the US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promises of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judge

55、d more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree. Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educa

56、tional system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that causes success, such as ideals that stress family value

What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans? A. Solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture. B. Hard

60、 work and intelligence. C. Hard work and a limited knowledge of English. D. Asian culture and the American educational system. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句和最后一句可知, 亚洲学生把成功归因于充分利用美国的教育体制和亚洲文化。35. Why do“Both explanations”(Para. 3)worry Asian Americans? A. They are afraid that they will again be isolated fro
