第1题：
Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.
Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.
Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.
Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.
Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it

A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.

A. They become the victims of social violence.
B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.
C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.
D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.
3). Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ______
A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertising
B. commercials teach children alphabet and numbers
C. commercials help to sell products
D. they don’t like commercials
4). Educational television is widely appreciated because _____
A. it does have the same commercials as others
B. it offers programs for both children and their parents
C. many parents like the programs it offers for their children
D. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school

Home Schooling
All children in the United States have to receive an education,but the law does not say they have to be educated at school. A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school.
______(46)There are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the United States today.Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values;others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their children by teaching them at home.______(47)
David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at home.Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in school.______(48)For example,when there is heavy snowfall on a winter day,it may start a discussion or reading about climate,snow removal （去除）equipment , Alaska , polar bears（北极熊）,and winter tourism. A spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program.______（49)
Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools,but critics say that home-schoolers are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing with other people in adult life. ______(50)However,most parents don't have the time or the desire to teach their children at home,so schools will continue to be where most children get their formal education.______(49)
A: Interestingly,results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in reading and math.
B: Critics also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.
C: Learning starts with the children's interests and questions.
D: Children who are educated at home are known as“home-schoolers.”
E: In some countries,however,children are educated by their parents.
F: If the Brazilian rain forests are on the TV news,it could be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate,and how deserts are formed.答案：F解析：空前讲到很多家长不愿把孩子送到学校里去接受教育。空后面说目前美国有大约 30万儿童是“home-schoolers”。所以空中应该引入“home-schoolers”这个词。因此D项正确。
空前说有些家长喜欢在自己家里教孩子，因为他们认为公立学校不能教给孩子正确的宗教价值观，一些家长认为孩子在家里接受的教育会好一点，选项中只有A项最合适。因此A项正确。
空前说Guterson认为孩子在家里的学习方式与在学校里有很多不同。空中内容就应该是与学习方式有关的。因此C项正确。
空前主要叙述如何从孩子们感兴趣的问题出发教孩子学习。F项通过举例说明如何通过孩子们感兴趣的话题来教育他们。因此F项正确。
空前一句主要讲批评者认为孩子在学校之外与成人交往可能有些不适应的地方。 B项内容仍是批评者的态度，与前句连贯，因此B项正确。 -

第一篇
About eight million school-age children are home alone after school.These are the hours when the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment with alcohol,tobacco,and drugs.Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or two until a parent comes home,and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors.
Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors among youths.One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods.
After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities to children and youths during their out-of-school time.In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours,after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relationships with adults.Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults,as well as good use of time,are very important for healthy development in youth.
After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends' houses and play basketball when a parent or other responsible adult is at home.The programs can also be helpful for formal after-school activities,including"drop-in"programs that are provided by organizations.
Despite the benefits of after-school programs,there are many reasons why some parents do not use them. Programs may be too expensive,of poor quality,or hard to join.Some older cililciren and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.F'arents may ieei uncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the traditional child care years.However,research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.Which of the following is a benefit of after-school programs?
A:They help to avoid crime and violence during that time.
B:They help youths do things on their own during after-school hours.
C:They help teens develop caring relationships with classmates.
D:They help to reduce risky behaviors among youths.答案：D解析：依据是第二段：Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors among youths.One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods.A选项中的“avoid(避免）”用在这里不准确，根据第二段内容，课后活动只能减少并没有说彻底避免危险行为及暴力行为的产生，因此不选A。根据第三段第一句话，很多活动会安排学生们在课后参加，所以他们并不是on their own（独自一人的），因此不选B。根据第三段第二句：...develop caring relationships with adults，可知并不是和同学之间，而是和成年人之间形成良好关系，因此不选C。
依据是最后一段的前两句话：...there are many reasons why some parents do not use them.Programs may be too expensive , of poor quality , or hard to join.根据最后一段第三句话：Some older children and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.可以判断出只是某些学生认为这样的活动类似于child care programs，因此不喜欢，但并不是家长们拒绝课后活动项目的原因。因此不选A。根据最后一段第四句话可知，这些活动并不是不给孩子们任何自由，故不选B项。C选项和前面第二段所讲的after-school pro-grams resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods矛盾，本身就不正确，更不是家长们拒绝课后活动的原因。
根据第四段第一句话可以得知，除了适合那种放学之后父母都不在家的孩子外，课后活动项目也同样适用于课后在朋友家闲混或打篮球，而家里会有一位父母或是其他成年人在场的情况，因此可以推断C是正确答案。文章中只说学生会在朋友家hang out，并没有说stay for a long time，因此不选A。根据第三段最后一句话：...high-quality relationships with parents and other adults...are very important for healthy development in youth.可以推断和父母亲以及成年人之间的良好关系对于年轻人的健康发展很重要，如果他们之间的关系不好，那么可能会对年轻人的健康发展不利，因此不选B。根据最后一段第三句话可以得知，只是某些学生不喜欢这样的课后活动，并非D选项中所说得那么绝对，因此不选D。
根据最后一段倒数第二句话可知，父母亲不确定到底可以给年龄较大已经过了托管年龄的孩子多大自由，可以判断父母亲并没打算让孩子们随心所欲，给他们彻底的自由，因此B选项的内容是不正确的。A选项的依据是第一段最后一句：...research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors.C选项的依据是第三段第二句：In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours ,...D选项的依据是第三段第一句：After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence...

2. There is no national school policy in the United States.Each of the fifty states makes its own rules and regulations for its school,but there are many similarities among the fifty school systems.Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state. In most states the children are required to attend school until they reach the age of sixteen.
3. When they become six years old,children begin elementary school.After six years in elementary school,they go into junior high school and remain there for three years.The last three years of their public school education are spent in senior high school,from which they graduate at the age of eighteen.

本段提到一个孩子从6岁开始到18岁接受的所有教育，即从小学教育到中学教育，因此B正确。
本段第一句说到“...high school graduates continue their education in one ofthe many colleges or universities...”所以是关于高等教育。
“emphasized”和“place emphasis on something”意思相同，即各国强调教育的重要性，所有选B。
第二段的最后一句，在大多数州，孩子在16岁前必须接受教育，因此选E。
“financed by”意思是得到资金支持，即“Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state”，选项C符合句子的意思。

The Home-schooling
Sometimes,the line between private and public education can become very vague.Educators in the United States are wondering whether children who are taught at home should get some public services or how this growing practice(about 3 percent of American students are not fully registered in schools but receive education at home)should be regulated.
In many western countries,many private schools are founded by religious bodies. Approximately haff the parents who decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously and use lessons by Internet or mail from church schools.Probably an additional fourth have some doubts about public education.They believe that regular schools don't meet the special needs of their children.It also happens that home-school is adopted by parents to escape compulsory education,for example,some selfish parents have older children take care of his or her younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）or work in home businesses while only teaching them for a very short time.Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home,although children often learn well in home-schooling. With growing frequency,however,public schools offer services to the home-schooled.Local government may allow children who receive education at home to enroll local school part time.However,educators have concerns that these kids could later return full time,but their serious academic weaknesses may lead them to falling behind in their studies,and some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from kids who used to study part time to fill empty seats.
In Kent,Ohio,Mrs. Ringer taught her three children at home in the past years while operating her bakery business there in the non-teaching hours.Mrs. Ringer said to our reporter that her motive was to give her children more training in basic curriculum,such as phonics（读音法）.Her curriculum is from a church school,and relevant tests are handed in and returned via e-mail.
Three years ago her second child,Mark,wanted to join school programs regularly,and he enrolled at the local high school.Unable to keep pace with his classmates,Mark soon changed his mind and decided to continue studying at home.But he enjoyed the athletic program and chorus at school,
so he was allowed by Mr. Ringer to continue in them while taking other courses at home.The following statements are the reasons for family-schooling EXCEPT_______.
A:some parents have religious consideration
B:some parents are doubtful about public education
C:some parents feel unsafe to send their children to go to regular school
D:some parents want to escape the compulsory education答案：C解析：从第一段第二句可以看出美国的教育家们“are wondering...how this growing practice...should be regulated"，即不知道如何对家庭学校进行规范，所以选A。
从第二段得知一半的家长“decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously"，还有额外的四分之一的家长“have some doubts about public education"，还有家长利用家庭教学作为借口来“escape compulsory education"，唯独没有提到C，即送孩子上学是不安全的，所以选C。
第二段第六句“Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home"，即美国大多数的州对这种教育方式都监管不力，几乎不监督或质疑那些家长，因此选B。
见第二段最后一句。
文章第三段的第二句提到瑞恩太太在家教孩子是为了“give her children more training in basic curriculum"，即给他们更多基础课程的训练，所以选项C符合。 -

第一篇
About eight million school-age children are home alone after school.These are the hours when the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment with alcohol,tobacco,and drugs.Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or two until a parent comes home,and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors.
Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors among youths.One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods.
After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities to children and youths during their out-of-school time.In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours,after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relationships with adults.Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults,as well as good use of time,are very important for healthy development in youth.
After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends' houses and play basketball when a parent or other responsible adult is at home.The programs can also be helpful for formal after-school activities,including"drop-in"programs that are provided by organizations.
Despite the benefits of after-school programs,there are many reasons why some parents do not use them. Programs may be too expensive,of poor quality,or hard to join.Some older cililciren and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.F'arents may ieei uncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the traditional child care years.However,research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A:The grades of those children who are home alone after school are more likely to suffer.
B:Parents want to give their children as much as possible freedom.
C:The after-school programs help the students to make use of the time after school.
D:The after-school programs are effective in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.答案：B解析：依据是第二段：Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors among youths.One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods.A选项中的“avoid(避免）”用在这里不准确，根据第二段内容，课后活动只能减少并没有说彻底避免危险行为及暴力行为的产生，因此不选A。根据第三段第一句话，很多活动会安排学生们在课后参加，所以他们并不是on their own（独自一人的），因此不选B。根据第三段第二句：...develop caring relationships with adults，可知并不是和同学之间，而是和成年人之间形成良好关系，因此不选C。
依据是最后一段的前两句话：...there are many reasons why some parents do not use them.Programs may be too expensive , of poor quality , or hard to join.根据最后一段第三句话：Some older children and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.可以判断出只是某些学生认为这样的活动类似于child care programs，因此不喜欢，但并不是家长们拒绝课后活动项目的原因。因此不选A。根据最后一段第四句话可知，这些活动并不是不给孩子们任何自由，故不选B项。C选项和前面第二段所讲的after-school pro-grams resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods矛盾，本身就不正确，更不是家长们拒绝课后活动的原因。
根据第四段第一句话可以得知，除了适合那种放学之后父母都不在家的孩子外，课后活动项目也同样适用于课后在朋友家闲混或打篮球，而家里会有一位父母或是其他成年人在场的情况，因此可以推断C是正确答案。文章中只说学生会在朋友家hang out，并没有说stay for a long time，因此不选A。根据第三段最后一句话：...high-quality relationships with parents and other adults...are very important for healthy development in youth.可以推断和父母亲以及成年人之间的良好关系对于年轻人的健康发展很重要，如果他们之间的关系不好，那么可能会对年轻人的健康发展不利，因此不选B。根据最后一段第三句话可以得知，只是某些学生不喜欢这样的课后活动，并非D选项中所说得那么绝对，因此不选D。
根据最后一段倒数第二句话可知，父母亲不确定到底可以给年龄较大已经过了托管年龄的孩子多大自由，可以判断父母亲并没打算让孩子们随心所欲，给他们彻底的自由，因此B选项的内容是不正确的。A选项的依据是第一段最后一句：...research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors.C选项的依据是第三段第二句：In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours ,...D选项的依据是第三段第一句：After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence...
贯穿全文都在讲述after-school programs的必要性、作用、适合群体以及来自家长和学生的反应，因此最佳标题应该是After-school Programs。 -

Schools and Education
1. Life in the twenty-first century demands preparation.Today,all individuals in a country must have adequate schooling to prepare them for their work as well as for their responsibilities as citizens.With this in mind,national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young.In the United States,government officials,parents,and teachers are working hard to give their children一tomorrow's decision makers一the best preparation available.
2. There is no national school policy in the United States.Each of the fifty states makes its own rules and regulations for its school,but there are many similarities among the fifty school systems.Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state. In most states the children are required to attend school until they reach the age of sixteen.
3. When they become six years old,children begin elementary school.After six years in elementary school,they go into junior high school and remain there for three years.The last three years of their public school education are spent in senior high school,from which they graduate at the age of eighteen.
4. A great number of high school graduates continue their education in one of the many colleges or universities in the country.After four years,they receive a bachelor's degree.Some continue studying for a master's degree and perhaps a doctor's degree.In most states children,before they are 16,must________.
A:go on to study in colleges or universities
B:emphasized today
C:the taxes paid by the citizens of each state
D:to go abroad to do further study
E:attend school
F: private source答案：E解析：第一段中间“national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young”，各个国家领导人都注意对年轻人的教育，它是该段的中心句，所以选Co
本段最后一句“In most states the children are required to attend school untilthey reach the age of sixteen”，所以选D。
本段提到一个孩子从6岁开始到18岁接受的所有教育，即从小学教育到中学教育，因此B正确。
本段第一句说到“...high school graduates continue their education in one ofthe many colleges or universities...”所以是关于高等教育。
“emphasized”和“place emphasis on something”意思相同，即各国强调教育的重要性，所有选B。
第二段的最后一句，在大多数州，孩子在16岁前必须接受教育，因此选E。
“financed by”意思是得到资金支持，即“Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state”，选项C符合句子的意思。
“secondary education”是中学教育，在学生完成中学教育后，他们可以决定是否要继续接受高等教育，因此A符合题意。 -

Manyteacher consider the program a great help,though some teachers find that problems happen when the first-year pupils who have learned from"SeasameStreet"are in the same class with those who have not watched the program.Tests have shown that children who watch it five times a week learn more than those who seldom watch it.In the United States the program is shown at differenthours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watchit regularly.
Why has"Seasame Street"been so much more successful than other children′sshows?Many reasons have been suggested.Perhaps one reason is that motherswatch"Seasame Street"along with their children.But the best reasonfor the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching itfeel able to learn.The child finds himself learning,and he wants to learnmore.
"Seasame Street"is a TV program produced mainly forA.children
B.children of school age
C.primary school teachers and pupils
D.mothers and their children答案：A解析：考情点拨:事实细节题
