Homework

Do maths problems 15 through 25. State the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don’t forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.

Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights — or maybe even just for tonight? 【1】It’s your teachers’ way of evaluating how much you understand what’s going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts. Here are some tips on how to do your homework.

【2】It’s inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you’ll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it’s best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you’re more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can — but don’t spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. 【3】But don’t pick someone whom you’ll be up all night chatting with, or you’ll never get it done!

Most people’s attention spans aren’t very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.【4】

Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack—there’s nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can’t find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. 【5】Now you’re free to hang out.A. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.

B. Homework is a major part of going to school.C. No one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.

D. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.

E. But if you’re really concentrating, wait until it's a good time to stop.F. And no teacher still believes that “chewed by the dog” line—even when it's true!

G. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】G

【3】D

【4】E

【5】F

【解析】本文就如何完成家庭作業(yè)提出了一些建議。

【1】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。后句中的it代指B選項中的homework。句意：家庭作業(yè)是上學(xué)的主要部分。故B選項符合要求。

【2】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。根據(jù)后句so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging可知，本段主要是建議學(xué)生們先從最難的作業(yè)著手。故選G。

【3】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。后句由轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but連接，并提到不要找一個整晚聊不完的人討論作業(yè)。故前句應(yīng)該是說可以求助于某些人。故選D。

【4】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。前一句說“對于大部分人來說每小時休息15分鐘是好的”，而且本段主要講休息，只有E項“但是如果你能真正地集中精神，那么也可以等到一個合適的時間再休息。”與休息有關(guān)，故選E。

【5】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。本段主要講要預(yù)防其他一些意外事情給作業(yè)帶來的破壞。故F“沒有老師會相信我的作業(yè)被狗嚼了這樣的話，即便是真的時候”符合本段內(nèi)容。故選F。
