问题     Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept.
    We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital.
    Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half of the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter has only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals on the country and holiday areas are worst off.
    From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.
    Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as "the library lady" or just "the helper".
    Children tend to rely on intimate school friends to keep in touch with school work. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best as they can.
    Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.
选项 A、Every child in hospital receives some teaching.
B、Not enough is known about hospital teaching.
C、Hospital teaching is of poor quality.
D、The special children’s hospitals are worst off.
答案B
解析 细节题。第一段指出Surprisingly，no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals，still less the content or quality of that education．Proper records are Just not kept．没人了解，也没有资料记载，所以推断出对于医院里的教育状况人们知道的还不够。第三段第二句中提到...half of the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher．所以并不是医院中的每个儿童都能受教育，排除A。第三段第一句...the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country． 说明教育质量不等，排除C。第三段第四句The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best．专门的儿童医院做得最好，排除D。
