答案：1.C 2.C 3. C 4. A 5. B
解析：
1. 从Well, researchers link educational inequality to socioeconomic, racial and geographic reasons.这句话可以看出，选项C是完全正确的。
2. For example, in the United States, although skin color is linked to other forms of inequality, it is evident in education. 这句话中，evident意思是“明显的”，所以我们可以分析出在美国肤色和教育的不平等有关系，而且此句还表示肤色与其他方面的不平等有关联，所以选C选项。
3. 根据Dr. Smith最后一段话里的Educational inequality has become one of the most important political and social issues in every nation nowadays. 这一句，可以判断教育的不公平存在于每一个国家，所以正确选项是C。
4. 从Dr. Smith的回答中，我们可以了解到“每个国家都存在着教育不公平现象，而且解决这个问题是很难的”。 从这个回答，我们可以根据上下文猜出eradicate的意思。get rid of意思是“消除”，cope with是“处理，应付”，carry out意思是“实施”，set up是“建立”，所以选A。
5. 最后一段的主要意思是 “虽然每个国家都存在教育不公平现象，但是大家都在试图改革”， Dr. Smith对未来的教育公平还是持有积极的态度的。reserved意思是“保留的”，positive意思是“积极的”，negative意思的“消极的”，interested意思是“感兴趣的”，所以应该选B。
