单选题
We can infer from the passage there were not so many independent schools ______.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】本题为综合归纳题。文章第一段讲到“There are 2,400 independent schools and they have been growing in number and popularity since the mid-1980s.”即:自从80年代中期以来,已有2400家独立学校,并且在数量上和人口上都保持着增长势头。由此推断,80年代中期以前没有这么多的独立学校,因此应选B。
