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.23.According to Paragraph 3,one problem with the policy is that it may_____A.discourage students from doing homeworkB.result in students'indifference to their report cardsC.undermine the authority of state testsD.restrict teachers'power in education

选项 A.discourage students from doing homework
B.result in students'indifference to their report cards
C.undermine the authority of state tests
D.restrict teachers'power in education

答案 A

解析细节题【命题思路】这是一道局部细节题，需要对文章第三段的具体信息进行锁定，从而把握现在实行的政策所存在的问题。【直击答案】根据题干直接定位到第三段，该段第二句出现了显性转折but，该句认为：由于家庭作业在成绩中所占的比例不超过10%，学生很可能少做一半的作业，并且在成绩单上也不会有什么差别。A项“不鼓励学生做家庭作业”是对“作业在成绩中所占比例不超过10%”的同义替换。【干扰排除】B项利用indifference“漠不关心”对原文概念difference“差别，差异”进行形近干扰，属于偷换概念。C项的干扰来自本段第三句，该句阐述此项政策的实施无法让人知晓家庭作业对学生的国家考试有无重要影响，但是并未谈及该政策会削弱国家测试的权威性，属于无中生有的信息。D项偷换概念，本段末句的前半句提到“没有赋予教师权利找到适合学生的方法”，并非指D项的“限制了教师的教育权力”。
