问题 Text 1 Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents,but in recently years it has been particularly scorned.School districts across the country,most recently Los Angeles Unified,are revising their thinking on this educational ritual.Unfortunately,L.A.Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses,homework may no longer count for more than 10%of a student's academic grade.This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework.But the policy is unclear and contradictory.Certainly,no homework should be assigned that students cannot complete on their own or that they cannot do without expensive equipment.But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives,it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children.District administrators say that homework will still be a part of schooling;teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want.But with homework counting for no more than 10%of their grades,students can easily skip half their homework and see very little difference on their report cards.Some students might do well on state tests without completing their homework,but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework?It is quite possible that the homework helped.Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students,the policy imposes a flat,acrosstheboard rule.At the same time,the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework.If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students'academic achievement,it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments,not make them count for almost nothing.Conversely,if homework matters,it should account for a significant portion of the grade.Meanwhile,this policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful or appropriate to their age and the subject,or that teachers are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board,which is responsible for setting educational policy,looks into the matter and conducts public hearings.It is not too late for L.A.Unified to do homework right.L.A.Unified has made the rule about homework mainly because poor students______A.tend to have moderate expectations for their educationB.have asked for a different educational standardC.may have problems finishing their homeworkD.have voiced their complaints about homework

选项 A.tend to have moderate expectations for their education
B.have asked for a different educational standard
C.may have problems finishing their homework
D.have voiced their complaints about homework

答案 C

解析细节题【命题思路】这是一道局部细节题，需要对文章第二段具体信息进行锁定，本题主要考查考生对于上下文逻辑关系的理解。【直击答案】基于题干内容，结合出题顺序和行文顺序一致的原则，可初步定位至第二段首句。题干信息“made the rule about homework mainly because”和该句“This rule is meant to（规定的目的）”相对应，“poor students”则和该句的“students from impoverished or chaotic homes”相对应，所以正确选项应该表达“这些学生在完成家庭作业时可能有困难”，故C项为正确答案。【干扰排除】A项与本文主题homework无关，属于无中生有。B项干扰信息来自本段最后一句，表达“可能暗示……”，但并没有“已经要求……”，属于无中生有。D项属于无中生有，该段第二句提及了“可能会导致他们的抱怨情绪”，但原文并没有说“学生已经表达了他们的抱怨情绪”。
