In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastestgrowing U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s 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 their education abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged 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 educational 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 breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.

8-11 CABA

8.C 文章第三段第一句明确指出，“Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image.”此句中“feed a typical racial image”意为“培养了一种典型的种族形象”，即担心因与众不同更易受到歧视与孤立。因此C“仍然担心社会的不公正对待”为正确答案。
9.A 亚裔美国人成功的主要因素是数学基础坚实，亚洲文化历来重视教育。文章前两段分析了亚裔学生主要在理工科方面学业突出的原因，即有坚实的数学基础和父母的言传身教。B也是成功的因素之一，但文章并示提到；C中“a limited knowledge of English”不是主要原因；D中的“the American educational system”为所有学生提供的机会是均等的，不是亚裔学生成功的根本原因。
10.B 亚裔学生很少主修人文科学是因为担心会受到不公平对待。根据文章第一段倒数第二句“Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathermatics and science because they will be judged more objectively”可推断，对人文科学成就的评价带有主观因素，因而更容易受到不公正对等。A、C、D并不是主要原因。
11.A 从最后一段判断，亚裔美国学生担心自己的突出成就会使自己再次成为社会孤立的对象。因此A为正确答案。
