Imagine asking a presidential candidate to sit down for a sensitivity session on gay and lesbian issues. That's exactly what we did last week in Austin，Texas. George W. Bush invited us，a dozen gay Republicans，after he'd refused to meet with a gay Republican group that had criticized him. Our meeting set an important precedent：never again will a major-party candidate be able to run for president without addressing gay and lesbian issues.Bush didn't like everything we had to say. I was struck by his lack of familiarity with the issues，as well as by his desire to learn. I described how my partner，Rob Morris，and I have been in a 17-year relationship. We both come from healthy，strong，religious families. Rob grew up in a conservative Republican family in Georgia; I come from a longtime Republican family in Wisconsin. I'm now the vice president of my Lutheran church. I wanted Governor Bush to understand that long-term，loving relationships，stable families，strong faith-based traditions and Republican voting histories are all part of the gay and lesbian community.Our stories had an impact. Bush admitted that，growing up in Texas，he had not been as open to elements of America's diverse culture. He had a narrow set of friends and a firm set of traditions. But he was surprised and dismayed to hear that people saw him as intolerant. “What have I said that sent that signal?”he asked repeatedly. We confronted him about his reported statement that if you were openly gay or lesbian you would not be considered for a job in his administration. “I never said that，”he insisted，assuring us he would hire gays and lesbians who both were qualified and shared his political views.Our perspective was clearly eye-opening to him. When one of us talked about his lesbian sister and her partner adopting children，the governor acknowledged his often-stated belief that gays should not adopt. “Now you're telling me of a very loving，caring relationship，”he said. “I really appreciate hearing that.”We stressed that a Bush administration could not roll back any of the progress made in recent years. We talked about AIDS funding and research. Though Bush was attentive——and does show a willingness to hear all sides——I don't think we changed his positions. He still opposes gay marriage and classifying crimes against gays as hate crimes. To be honest，Bush still has a long way to go. But I think he's a lot farther along today than he was last week.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek，04/24/2000，p43注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2003年真题Text 41.

When Gina Garro and Brian Duplisea adopted 4-month-old Andres from Colombia last month，they were determined to take time off from work to care for him. Six years ago，after their daughter，Melina，was born，the family scraped by on Duplisea's $36，000 salary as a construction worker so Garro，a special-education teacher，could stay home. Now，since Garro's job furnishes the family health insurance，she'll head back to work this fall while Duplisea juggles diapers and baby bottles. His boss agreed to the time off——but he will have to forgo his $18-an-hour pay. It won't be easy. Though Garro's $40，000 salary will cover their mortgage，the couple will have to freeze their retirement accounts，scale back on Melina's after-school activities——and pray that nothing goes wrong with the car. “It takes away from your cushion and your security，”says Garro. “Things will be tight.”The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act was supposed to help families like Garro's，offering a safety net to employees who want to take time off to nurture newborns，tend to their own major illnesses or care for sick relatives. But while the law guarantees that workers won't lose their jobs，it doesn't cover their paychecks. One survey last year showed that while 24 million Americans had taken leaves since 1999，2.7 million more wanted to，but couldn't afford it. That may change soon. In response to increasing demands from voters，at least 25 states are now exploring new ways to offer paid leave. One possibility：tapping state disability funds. A handful of states——New York，New Jersey，California，Rhode Island and Hawaii——already dip into disability money to offer partial pay for women on maternity leave. But that doesn't help dads or people caring for elderly parents. New Jersey and New York may soon expand disability programs to cover leave for fathers and other caretakers. Thirteen states，including Arizona，Illinois and Florida，have proposed using unemployment funds to pay for leave.Massachusetts has been especially creative. When the state's acting governor，Jane Swift，gave birth to twin daughters in May，she drew attention to the issue with her own “working maternity leave”：she telecommuted part-time but earned her usual full-time salary. Even before Swift returned to work last week，the state Senate unanimously passed a pilot plan that would use surplus funds from a health-insurance program for the unemployed to give new parents 12 weeks off at half pay. Another plan，proposed in the House，would require employers to kick in $20 per worker to set up a “New Families Trust Fund.”Businesses would get tax credits in return. This week Swift is expected to announce her own paid-leave plan for lower-income mothers and fathers. Polls show widespread public support——another reason Swift and other politicians across the country have embraced the issue.Still，not everyone's wild about the idea. People without children question why new parents ——the first group to get paid leave under many of the proposed plans——should get moregovernment perks than they do. Business groups are resistant to proposals that would raid unemployment funds; several have already filed suit to block them. As the economy slows，many companies say they can't afford to contribute to proposed new benefit funds either. Business lobbyists say too many employees already abuse existing federal family-leave laws by taking time off for dubious reasons or in tiny time increments. The proposed laws，they say，would only make matters worse.For Garro and Duplisea，though，the new laws could make all the difference. As Melina fixes a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich，Duplisea hugs a snoozing Andres against his T shirt. “We're trying to do the right thing by two kids，and we have to sacrifice，”Duplisea says. In Massachusetts and plenty of other states，help may be on the way.注(1) 本文选自Newsweek;8/27/2001，V ol. 138 Issue 9，p46，1p，1c注(2) 本文习题命题模仿对象是1997年真题text 1(1，2，3，5题)，第4题模仿1997年真题text 3 的第2题。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（5）Every time Americans tune into local news broadcasts or read daily papers，they are likely to be shocked at the increasing number of serious crimes committed by youths who are only sixteen years old or even younger.It is sometimes difficult to imagine these youngsters behaving like hardened criminals，but statistics continually prove that their crimes are often just as brutal as those committed by their adult counterparts.Inevitably，people begin questioning how successful the juvenile justice system is in reforming these youths and debating whether violent juveniles should be tried as adults in our legal system.I feel there is no question that juveniles convicted of serious crimes should face the same consequences as adults.While the teenage population in the United States has declined over the past decade，violent crimes committed by juveniles have sharply increased.It is common knowledge that the youth murder-arrest rate has climbed dramatically.Examples of teen crime are vivid and terrifying.Newspapers and television frequently report that youths with no apparent motives have shot and killed other people.The effect on both families and society is large.Despite the increase in serious crimes committed by young offenders，the punishment which juveniles receive has traditionally almost never fit the severity of the crimes.Since the system has historically viewed children as not being fully developed，physically or mentally，it has prevented them from being held accountable for their wrongdoing.Although many of these“children”commit horrible crimes，they have been routinely treated as victims of society.Until very recently，1ighter sentences and court proceedings have been the norm.The message they sent to serious juvenile criminals is that crime “pays”because there are no serious consequences for their actions.When the system lacks an element of fear，there is nothing to prevent youthful offenders from committing future crimes.The current trend of assigning adult sentences to youths who commit serious crimes is absolutely just if the punishment is to fit the crime.Most pro-rehabilitation advocates argue that juvenile criminals are completely different from adult ones and should，therefore，be treated differently in the justice system.However，the cost to society is the same regardless of the age of the criminal.What comfort does it give to the family of a killed or injured victim that the person who killed or hurt their loved one was a minor? Families suffer no less because their relatives are shot by young offenders.Instead of treating the loser who murders innocent people like a victim of society，this person should be treated like any other person who victimizes society and causes pain to individuals and communities.Tougher measures must be taken to combat this growing problem of juvenile crime.In today‘s society，too many juveniles count on light sentences given by the juvenile justice wyers can help a vicious criminal receive a short sentence，and return to the streets tocommit more crimes.When there are no harsh consequences of being caught，committing crimes can be perceived as having positive benefits.As a result，juveniles are continuing to become more violent and 1ess concerned with the value of human life.Rehabilitation，recommended by many as the solution to juvenile crime，should be directed only towards youths who have committed minor offenses.However，the juveniles who commit serious crimes should be tried as adults.A message has to be sent that we will no longer tolerate brutal crimes simply because of the age of the criminal.These youths must be held completely accountable for their crimes，suffering harsh consequences and ultimately realizing that they are no longer protected by the law.1.It can be inferred that juvenile criminals are those____.[A]who are under the age of 16 years old[B]who are not accountable for the crimes they commit[C]who can not tell major crimes from minor crimes[D]who are more likely to become victims of the society2.That violent juvenile crimes are on the rise is manifested by the fact that____.[A]penalty for juvenile criminals is becoming more and more serious[B]the society can no longer tolerate juvenile crimes[C]youth murder-arrest rate has dramatically increased[D]the young population has increased in the last ten years3.The reason why young people are becoming increasingly violent is that____.[A]the older they become，the stronger they are[B]they receive lighter punishment than they should[C]they do not know the value of human life[D]there is now too much violence in newspaper and on television4.According to the author，one reason why violent juvenile criminals should suffer the same fate as their adult counterparts is that____.[A]there are as many juvenile crimes as adult crimes[B]they have done equivalent injuries to the victim or the society[C]they are clearly aware of what they are doing at the time of offence[D]no other penalty can prevent them from committing future crimes5.Pro-rehabilitation advocates insist that____.[A]rehabilitation be directed only towards youths who commit minor crimes[B]stricter sentences be given only to youths who commit brutal crimes[C]a different justice system be applied to minors since they are not fully developed[D]minors be held completely responsible for any kind of crimes they commit答案与题解1.[A] 参阅第一段第一句。

In this week's Nature，a group of zoologists led by Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews in Scotland and Christophe Boesch of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig，Germany，have provided that evidence. They have synthesised the results from seven chimpanzee-research centres scattered across Africa，and shown that chimps can，indeed，do more than just pass on the odd behaviour pattern here and there. Individual groups of chimps exhibit behavioural“complexes'' that are recognisably different from those of other groups，yet seem to have no connection with environmental or genetic differences between the groups. If that is not culture，it is difficult to think what is.The problem that confronted Dr Whiten and Dr Boesch was how to disentangle which of chimpanzees' many behaviour patterns are genetically instinctive，which are learnt by individuals in isolation (and so are not cultural，because not copied from others) and which are culturally transmitted (by animals copying one another)。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：哲学类（4）Many critics of the current welfare system argue that existing welfare regulations lead to family instability.They believe that those regulations，which exclude most poor husband-and-wife families from Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) assistance grants，contribute to the problem of family dissolution.Thus，they conclude that expanding the set of families that can eligibly get such grants would result in a marked strengthening of the low-income family structure.If all poor families could receive welfare，would the incidence of instability change markedly? The answer to this question depends on the relative importance of three types of potential welfare recipients.The first is the“cheater”—the husband who is reported to have abandoned his family，but in fact disappears only when the social worker is in the neighborhood.The second consists of a loving husband and devoted father who，sensing his own inadequacy as a family supporter，leaves so that his wife and children may enjoy the relative benefit provided by public assistance.There is very little evidence that these two types are significant.The third type is the unhappily married couple，who remain together out of a sense of economic responsibility for their children，because of the high costs of separation，or because of the consumption benefits of marriage.This group is large.The formation，maintenance，and dissolution of the family is in large part a function of the relative balance between the benefits and costs of marriage as seen by the individual members of the marriage.Since the family performs certain functions society regards as vital，a complex network of social and legal process has evolved to reinforce marriage.Much of the variation in marital stability across income classes can be explained by the variation in costs of dissolution imposed by society，such as division of property，and child support.Marital stability is related to the costs of achieving an acceptable agreement on family consumption and production and to the prevailing social price of instability in the marriage partners‘social-economic group.Expected income exerts pressures on family instability by reducing the cost of dissolution.To the extent that welfare is a form of government-subsidized AFDC payments，it reduces the costs of separation and guarantees a minimal standard of living for wife and children.So welfare opportunities are a significant determinant of family instability in poor neighborhoods，but this is not the result of AFDC regulations that exclude most intact families from coverage.Rather，welfare-related instability occurs because public assistance lowers both the benefits of marriage and the costs of its breach by providing a system of government-subsidized payments.1.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?[A] Welfare restrictions do not contribute to low-income family instability.[B] The most significant kind of welfare recipients is not the“cheating”father.[C] The divorce rate is bound to fall when welfare benefits are cut.[D] Government welfare payments lead directly to growing divorce rate.2.The tone of the passage can best be described as____.[A] confident and optimistic[B] scientific and detached[C] discouraged and alarmed[D] polite and sensitive3.All of the following are mentioned by the author as factors tending to sustain a marriage EXCEPT____.[A] the social class of the married couple[B] the cost involved in divorce[C] the loss of property upon divorce[D] the greater consumption possibilities of married people4.With which of the following statements about marriage would the author most likely agree?[A] Marriage is largely shaped by powerful but impersonal economic and social forces.[B] Marriage has a greater value to higher income groups.[C] Society has no interest in encouraging people to remain married to one another.[D] Marriage will gradually give way to other forms of social organization.5.The passage would most likely be found in a____.[A] basic economics text[B] book on the history of welfare[C] religious literature on the importance of marriage[D] scholarly journal devoted to public policy questions参考答案：1.[A] 文章第一段先引出对现行福利政策持批评态度的人的观点，他们认为现行政策引起了家庭的分裂。

OnePart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1Not long after the telephone was invented,I assume,a call was placed.The caller was a parent saying,“your child is bullying my child,and I want it stopped!”The bully's parent replied,“you must have the wrong number.My child is a little angel.”A trillion phone calls later,the conversation is the same.When children are teased or tyrannized,the parental impulse is to grab the phone and rant.But these days,as studies in the U.S.show bullying on the rise and parental supervision on the decline,researchers who study bullying say that calling moms and dads is more futile than ever.Such calls often lead to playground recriminations and don't really teach our kids any lessons about how to navigate the world and resolve conflicts.When you call parents,you want them to“extract the cruelty”from their bullying children,says Laura Kavesh,a child psychologist in Evanston,Illinois.“But many parents are blown away by the idea of their child being cruel.They won t believe it.”In a recent police department survey in Oak Harbor,Washington,89%of local high school students said they had engaged in bullying behavior.Yet only18%of parents thought their children would act as bullies.In a new U.S.PTA survey,5%of parents support contacting other parents to deal with bullying.But many educators warn that those conversations can be misinterpreted,causing tempers to flare.Instead,they say,parents should get objective outsiders,like principals,to mediate.Meanwhile,if you get a call from a parent who is angry about your child's bullying,listen without getting defensive.That's what Laura McHugh of Castro Valley,California,did when a caller told her that her then13-year-old son had spit in another boy's food.Her son had confessed,but the victim's mom“wanted to make sure my son hadn't given her son a nasty disease,”says McHugh,who apologized and promised to get her son tested for AIDS and other diseases.She knew the chance of contracting any disease this way was remote,but her promise calmed the mother and showed McHugh's son that his bad behaviour was being taken seriously.McHugh,founder of Parents Coach Kids,a group that teaches parenting skills, sent the mom the test results.All were negative.Remember:once you make a call,you might not like what you hear.If you have an itchy dialing finger,resist temptation.Put it in your pocket.［419words］1.The word“bullying”probably means______.［A］frightening and hurting［B］teasing［C］behaving like a tyrant［D］laughing at2.Calling to a bully's parent.______.［A］has long existed but changed its content［B］is often done with careful

2017考研英语阅读理解冲刺模拟试题及答案（5）
2017考研英语阅读理解冲刺模拟试题及答案（5）店铺考研网为大家提供2017考研英语阅读理解冲刺模拟试题及答案(5)，更多考研资讯请关注我们网站的更新!2017考研英语阅读理解冲刺模拟试题及答案(5)Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever morecunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or justplain nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics — the scienceof conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists haveyet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun tocome close.As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligentgizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence hasremoved much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assemblyarms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us withmechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled bytireless robot-drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization ofelectronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that canperform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy — far greaterprecision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility,they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make atleast a few decisions for themselves — goals that pose areal challenge. “While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error,” says DaveLavery, manager of a robotic s program at NASA, “we can't yet give arobot enough‘common sense’ to reliably interact with a dynamicworld.”Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced verymixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s whenit appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copythe action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begunto extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the humanbrain's roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented — and humanperception far more complicated —than previously imagined. They have built robots that can recognizethe error of a machine panel by a fraction of a millimeter in a controlledfactory environment. But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing sceneand immediately disregard the 98 percent that is irrelevant, instantaneouslyfocusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the singlesuspicious face in a big crowd. The most advanced computer systems on Earthcan't approach that kind of ability, and neuroscientists still don't know quitehow we do it.26. Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in[A]the use of machines to produce science fiction.[B]the wide use of machines in manufacturing industry.[C]the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work.[D]the elite's cunning tackling of dangerous and boring work.27. The word “gizmos" (line 1, paragraph 2) most probably means[A]programs. [B]experts. [C]devices. [D]creatures.28.

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：哲学类（12）The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘Palaeolithic Man’，‘Neolithic Man’，etc.，neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century，they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’。
Histories of the time will go something like this：‘in the twentieth century，people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars，buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of their extraordinary way of life. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of their extraordinary way of life. In those days，people thought nothing of traveling hundreds of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways，ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the pr esence of large car parks. ‘The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another，we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird‘s-eye view of the world –or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers，in particular，are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on：they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways，or what? And as for sea travel，it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song：’I joined the navy to see the world，and what did I see? I saw the sea.‘The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ’I‘ve been there. ’You mention the remotest，most evocative place-names in the world like El Dorado，Kabul，Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there‘–meaning，’I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. ‘When you travel at high speeds，the present means nothing：you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival，when it is achieved，is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this，you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality：you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot，on the other hand，lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing：he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes，his ears and the whole of his body. At the end ofhis journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his：the just reward of all true travellers.1、Anthropologists label nowaday‘s men ’Legless‘becauseA people forget how to use his legs.B people prefer cars，buses and trains.C lifts and escalators prevent people from walking.D there are a lot of transportation devices.2、Travelling at high speed meansA people‘s focus on the future.B a pleasure.C satisfying drivers‘great thrill.D a necessity of life.3、Why does the author say ‘we are deprived of the use of our eyes’?A People won‘t use their eyes.B In traveling at high speed，eyes become useless.C People can‘t see anything on his way of travel.D People want to sleep during travelling.4、What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A Legs become weaker.B Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.C There is no need to use eyes.D The best way to travel is on foot.5. What does ‘a bird’s-eye view‘mean?A See view with bird‘s eyes.B A bird looks at a beautiful view.C It is a general view from a high position looking down.D A scenic place.VOCABULARY1.Palaeolithic 旧石器时代的2.Neolithic 新石器时代的3.escalator 自动电梯，自动扶梯4.ski-lift 载送滑雪者上坡的装置5.mar 损坏，毁坏6.blur 模糊不清，朦胧7.smear 涂，弄脏，弄模糊(尤指画面、轮廓等)8.evocative 引起回忆的，唤起感情的9.El Dorado (由当时西班牙征服者想象中的南美洲)黄金国，宝山，富庶之乡10.Kabul 喀布尔(阿富汗首都)11.Irkutsk 伊尔库茨克(原苏联亚洲城市)难句译注与答案详解The only way to travel is on foot 旅游的唯一方法是走路难句译注1.Air travel gives you a bird‘s-eye view of the world –or even if the wing of the aircrafthappens to get in your way.【参考译文】飞机旅行，你只可俯视世界――如果机翼碰巧挡住了你的视线，就看得更少了。

One of the most important social developments that helped to make possible a shift in thinking about the role of public education was the effect of the baby boom of the 1950s and 1960s on the schools. In the 1920s，but especially in the Depression conditions of the 1930s，the United States experienced a declining birth rate—every thousand women aged fifteen to forty-four gave birth to about 118 live children in 1920，89.2 in 1930，75.8 in 1936，and 80 in 1940. With the growing prosperity brought on by the Second World War and the economic boom that followed it，young people married and established households earlier and began to raise larger families than had their predecessors during the Depression. Birth rates rose to 102 per thousand in 1946，106.2 in 1950，and 118 in 1955. Although economics was probably the most important determinant，it is not the only explanation for the baby boom. The increased value placed on the idea of the family also helps to explain this rise in birth rates.The baby boomers began streaming into the first grade by the mid-1940s and became a flood by 1950. The public school system suddenly found itself overtaxed. While the number of schoolchildren rose because of wartime and postwar conditions，these same conditions made the schools even less prepared to cope with the flood. The wartime economy meant that few new schools were built between 1940 and 1945. Moreover，during the war and in the boom times that followed，large numbers of teachers left their profession for better-paying jobs elsewhere in the economy.Therefore，in the 1950s and 1960s，the baby boom hit an antiquated and inadequate school system. Consequently，the “custodial rhetoric”of the 1930s and early 1940s no longer made sense; that is，keeping youths aged sixteen and older out of the labor market by keeping them in school could no longer be a high priority for an institution unable to find space and staff to teach younger children aged five to sixteen. With the baby boom，the focus of educators and of laymen interested in education inevitably turned toward the lower grades and back to basic academic skills and discipline. The system no longer had much interest in offering nontraditional，new，and extra services to older youths.1. What does the passage mainly discuss?[A] The teaching profession during the baby boom.[B] Birth rates in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s.[C] The impact of the baby boom on public education.[D] The role of the family in the 1950s and 1960s.2. The public schools of the 1950s and 1960s faced all of the following problems EXCEPT____.[A] a declining number of students[B] old-fashioned facilities[C] a shortage of teachers[D] an inadequate number of school buildings3. According to the passage，why did teachers leave the teaching profession after the outbreak of the war?[A]They needed to be retrained.[B]They were dissatisfied with the curriculum.[C]Other jobs provided higher salaries.[D]Teaching positions were scarce.4. The“custodial rhetoric”mentioned in the last paragraph refers to____.[A] raising a family[B] keeping older individuals in school[C] running an orderly household[D] maintaining discipline in the classroom5. Where in the passage does the author refer to the attitude of Americans toward raising a family in the 1950s and 1960s?[A]Lines 1～3[B]Lines 9～10[C]Lines 20～21[D]Lines 24～26核心词汇prosperityn.繁荣cope vi.应付，处理consequently adv.从而，因此priority n.优先权staffn.全体职员laymann.外行discipline n.学科，纪律Profession n.职业institution n.公共机构academic n.学院的，理论的促使人们在对公共教育之作用的思考上发生转变的最重要的社会状况之一就是，20世纪50年代和60年代生育高峰对学校的影响。
在20世纪20年代，尤其是在30年代经济大萧条的情况下，美国经历了一次出生率的降低——在1920年，每1，000名15～44岁的妇女生育了大约118个婴儿，1930年为89.2个，1936年为75.8个，到了1940年为80个。
随着第二次世界大战以及其后的经济复苏所引发的日益发展和繁荣的景象，年轻人提前结婚成家，开始比他们处于大萧条时代的前辈们供养更大的家庭。
出生率在1946年增长到102%，1950年为106.2%，1955年为118%尽管经济因素很可能是最重要的决定因素，但它并非是对生育高峰的惟一解释。
人们家庭观念的增强也有助于解释这种出生率的升高。
在生育高峰中出生的一代到20世纪40年代中期开始涌入学校一年级，到1950年呈泛滥之势。
公共学校体系突然发现自己负荷过重。
战时和战后状况一方面使得入学儿童数量增多，但同样的状况却使学校在应对如洪水般的入学儿童方面缺乏准备。
战时的经济状况意味着在1940年和1945年间新建学校的数量微乎其微。
此外，在战时以及在随后的经济繁荣时期。
，大量教师离开了教职，到经济体系中的其他领域寻求报酬更优厚的工作。
因此，在20世纪50年代和60年代，生育高峰冲击了一个陈旧且不完整的学校体系。
其结果是，20世纪30年代和40年代早期的“监护之说”开始失去意义;也就是说，因为教育机构无法为年龄在5～16岁的儿童提供学习所需的空间和教员，因此，让那些年龄在16岁及其以上的孩子待在学校以使他们处于劳动力市场之外，不再是一个优先的选择。
在生育高峰的冲击下，教育者和对教育感兴趣的外行所关注的焦点不可避免地转向了低年级，转回到了基本的学术技能和学科上。
