这次你调整了答案，难怪上次看到你问题，我觉得怪怪的，

因而也没直接说哪题最后该选什么。这次不妨对你调整后的答案再谈谈看法：

Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, it is not surprising that such students often have little good to say about their school experience. 

这是 主题句（除非前文有定义）

In one study of 400 adults who had achieved distinction in all areas of life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or were unhappy in school 这是支撑句，给主题句找证明 . Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners of the MacArthur Award for creative accomplishment, had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs. 

Anecdotal ( 名人轶事) reports support this. 

这个this必有所指，是指主题句的含义还是支撑句里的study？ 

英语一般都是就近指代，因而很难说它不是指either did badly in school or were unhappy. 即this不一定就是指那主题句本身。

Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Goldsmith, and William Butler Yeats all disliked school. So did Winston Churchill, who almost failed out of Harrow, an elite British school. About Oliver Goldsmith, one of his teachers remarked, "Never was so dull a boy."

划掉的部分基本都是重复性的废话。

Often these children realize that they know more than their teachers, and their teachers often feel that these children are arrogant, inattentive, or unmotivated.

该段小结句，说明主题句的原因。

22. The author quotes the remarks of one of Oliver Goldsmith's teachers .
A) to show how poor Oliver's performance was at school
B) to illustrate the strong will of some gifted children  （没讲到will）
C) to explain how dull students can also be successful （明显错）
D) to provide support for his argument

选项A与D，究竟选哪个，当然要由原句具体的语言环境而定，不能由谁说了算；

+++ 做阅读时，有句话叫“抽象的是解，具体的、表象的不是”。但又有一句，“具体而眼见的是答案，转弯抹角的不是答案”。--- 但这只是做题用，而不是真正理解英语本身。

22题的含义，是问那句话是干什么用，它算轶事之一，是支持主题句的轶事，这不能说讲不通。// 但问题是，所引老师的（那划掉)的段落，你可以说全是支撑的论据，但也可说是讲论据本身（即这句话可以形成论据）。也就是：甲表现不好，乙表现不好，丙也表现不好，作者在说丙也是其中的一个实例不可以么？再换种说法，甲乙都是事实，但丙是什么？也是事实。（然后是这些事实，构成作者的论据）22题选项A是第一层次的，毫无疑问、清楚明白；D是引申层次的，是种臆想性的最终目的。

A是清楚明白的语句，D是语义含糊的语句，关键是this使得指代不清。逻辑上也出现2个层次，让人必须得猜出题者的意图，在加上to provide support for his argument本身语义也有歧义。如果我猜，不会去猜那句引言是for his argument, 而会说它是支撑did badly in school or were unhappy. 这是一步步逆推的过程。说是支撑 have little good to say about their school experience. 显得远了点。

### 有些时候，选项尽管显得傻（如A），但它实在，难以否定掉；因为出题老师怕出错，当有争议时，要以原文为准，这是排除争议的唯一办法。那种概括性的，如果没有漏洞，当然是好的。总之，你不能说我猜中了你出题者的意思，就算是对的，否则就是错的。

### 做任何考题，前提都是得认定“考题”是无懈可击的。正因为如此，假如它有10个点，考生不必面面俱到，只要抓到你一个点，你题就破功了。

### 如果一定要D成为答案，要把this改一下，也要把argument具体再定义一下。

因为这些因素，D是应该排除的，不然只能凭猜出题者是什么意图作答。

Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because their gifts were not scholastic. Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way. But most fared poorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they found school unchallenging and consequently lost interest. Yeats described the lack of fit between his mind and school: "Because I had found it difficult to attend to anything less interesting than my own thoughts, I was difficult to teach." As noted earlier, gifted children of all kinds tend to be strong-willed nonconformists. Nonconformity and stubbornness (and Yeats's level of arrogance and self-absorption) are likely to lead to Conflicts with teachers.
When highly gifted students in any domain talk about what was important to the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their families than their schools or teachers. A writing prodigy (神童) studied by David Feldman and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writing by his journalist father than his English teacher. High-IQ children, in Australia studied by Miraca Gross had much more positive feelings about their families than their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little good to say about school. They all did well in school and took honors classes when available, and some skipped grades.

24. Many gifted people attributed their success .

A) less to their systematic education than to their talent  
B) mainly to parental help and their education at home
C) both to school instruction and to their parents' coaching  
D) more to their parents' encouragement than to school training

本题与success沾边的只能是最后一段。

关于 their education at home这几个字：前段时间就有报道说，某明星不让小孩上学，而是放在家里自己教育，这是违法的。在西方，尤其是在德国，每年都会抓出一些这样的家长。也许出题者脑子里没有这样的东西，仅把their education at home看做是=家长的课辅一样么？B是有问题的：原文并没说education at home是什么。

D的问题在于，原文根本就没出现encouragement这个语境。
