【題目】When Jane put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” “Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?”

The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with their peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.

The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.

Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.

When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compared with my kid. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the conventional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.

【解析】試題分析:本文介紹了作者的朋友對(duì)于孩子教育問題的所采取的的措施,即家庭式教育,并發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)。

1A主旨大意題。文章舉例介紹了我朋友讓孩子接受家庭式教育,在分析了這種做法的優(yōu)勢后,我也闡述了自己對(duì)于家庭式教育的觀點(diǎn)。故選A

2C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第四段第一句Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands句意:緣于他們能自己掌控大量的時(shí)間,在家上學(xué)的孩子有機(jī)會(huì)更多地去社交。以及第四段最后一句Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members句意:其他孩子們回家完成作業(yè)和任務(wù),而她的孩子已經(jīng)卻學(xué)會(huì)了獲得和家人共度時(shí)光的機(jī)會(huì)。通過分析和對(duì)比,可以看出在家上學(xué)的孩子有更多的社交經(jīng)歷,也懂得拿出時(shí)間和家人相處。故選C

3B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段倒數(shù)第二句:the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers.這些孩子在晚上有很多時(shí)間能有效地同小伙伴們互動(dòng)和玩耍。由此得知在家上學(xué)的孩子有很多時(shí)間玩耍。故選B

4C主旨大意題。通讀全完,不難看出作者一直通過自己的孩子和朋友的孩子作比較來獲得一些信息,指出了朋友教育方式的優(yōu)點(diǎn),同時(shí)也愿意自己孩子在傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校上課。故選C

【題目】Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how.

1) Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you can have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

2) Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room. Free from everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

3) Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what your teachers say.

4) Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teachers mentioned in class. If you want to know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material in advance. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

5) Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.

There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
