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.It is implied in Paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____A.is receiving more criticismB.is no longer an educational ritualC.is not required for advanced coursesD.is gaining more preferences
选项
A.is receiving more criticism
B.is no longer an educational ritual
C.is not required for advanced courses
D.is gaining more preferences
答案
A
解析
推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题,需要锁定第一段,从而在理解文章具体细节信息的基础上能够判断出人们对于目前家庭作业所持有的立场。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“Paragraph 1”和“nowadays homework”定位到首句。题干的nowadays对应该句后半句中的in recent years,因此可推出所选答案则应该是对家庭作业表示否定的信息,A项是否定信息,并且是对原文信息“it has been particularly scorned”的同义替换,故为正确答案。【干扰排除】B项根据“educational courses”定位到该段第二句,原文提到的是“revise”,意为“改变”,而没有表达取消家庭作业的想法,为过度推断。C项根据“advanced courses”定位到该段第三句,暗示了高级课程中家庭作业的比例仍然没变,C项内容和文章表述相反。D项的“more preference”表明人们对家庭作业的态度是正面的,文中则指出“it has been particularly scorned”,是明显的负面态度,D项属于正反混淆。
