Question

“A very disruptive (調(diào)皮搗蛋的) six-year-old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand,” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.

Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.

Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behaviour of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table, and unable to use the lavatory(衛(wèi)生間) properly.

We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed (沉迷于) in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.

Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behaviour and sticking to those boundaries. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.

【解析】

試題分析：文章主要介紹了有些小孩兒在學(xué)校里面的表現(xiàn)差，甚至有暴力傾向。在學(xué)校有時候?qū)�老師造成傷害，其中的一個原因是家庭原因，是受了他們父母的影響。在家里，他們沒有得到應(yīng)有的教育，他們不會和別人交往，很多的父母把約束控制孩子的責(zé)任推給了老師，他們?nèi)鄙倥c孩子的溝通教育。孩子把大多數(shù)在家的時間花在了單獨(dú)相處或者沉溺于電腦游戲上。這是造成孩子沒有得到良好發(fā)展的原因。

1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of ignoring the latter.大意為：不管孩子的出生環(huán)境怎么樣，也不管父母的財富和等級，每個孩子都有發(fā)展?jié)撃艿臋?quán)力，我們已經(jīng)意識到了這一點(diǎn)，但是在發(fā)展權(quán)力的同時，伴隨而來的是責(zé)任，而我們卻忽視了后者，故答案應(yīng)為D。

2.猜測詞義題。根據(jù)children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.父母雖然和孩子在一個屋檐下生活，但是一起相處的時間微乎甚微，孩子把大多數(shù)在家的時間花在了單獨(dú)相處或者沉溺于電腦游戲上。父母也不知孩子在看些什么，對孩子關(guān)心太少。選A。

3.作者態(tài)度題。One father encouraged his child to start a fight on the playground before school started. A primary teacher reported that a parent shouted at him. We need to have a serious and sensible debate about the roles and responsibilities of parents and the support that they can reasonably expect of schools and teachers.在文中作者列舉了兩個例子，一個父親鼓勵他的孩子在操場上去和別人打架。一對孩子的父母對一位老師訓(xùn)斥，父母需要擔(dān)起他們的責(zé)任和角色。由此可以看出作者對父母的表現(xiàn)是不滿意的，故答案應(yīng)為C。
