Question

閱讀理解 　　About 2 percent of American students are now taught at home．Educators are confused about how this growing practice should be regulated, and also wonder whether children who are not fully registered in school should get some public services．The issue shows how dim the line between public and private education can become, even when that private education is delivered at home． 　　Probably about half the parents who teach at home are religiously motivated and use lessons by mail(or Internet)from church schools．Perhaps an additional fourth have some doubts about public education, think schools are unsafe of the fact that their children have special need that regular schools don't meet．In some cases, parents home-school to escape compulsory(義務(wù)的)education; they do least teaching while having older children care for younger sisters or brothers or work in home businesses．Although children often learn well at home, weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or monitor parents who say they are home-schooling．With glowing frequency, however, public schools offer services to the home-schooled．Districts may permit them to enroll part time for instance; educators fear that otherwise these children could later return full time with serious academic weaknesses, and in any case some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from part-timers filling empty seats． 　　Here in Helena,Mary Brown has taught her 12 children at home while manufacturing clothing there in her non-teaching hours．Mrs Brown says her motive is to give more training in basics, like phonics(發(fā)音學(xué))than public schools offer．Most of her curriculum is from a church school, with tests returned by mail． 　　Two years ago her seventh child, Andrea, wanting to join regular athletic programs, enrolled at Capital High School．Andrea soon changed her mind and continued home study．But she had liked gym and chorus, so Mrs Brown asked that she be allowed to continue in them while taking other courses at home． (1) The education experts worry about ________． [　　] A． whether home-schooling affects the general level of education B． whether the children studying at home need help C． whether the family education should be abandoned D． whether parents use the right methods to teach children (2) We can know from the passage that ________． [　　] A． half the parents feel doubtful about public education B． most parents have religious consideration C． some parents want to escape the compulsory education D． public schools should not interfere in private education (3) The important problem of home-school education is ________． [　　] A． lack of social activities B． lack of strict management C． inefficiency in study D． low teaching quality (4) According to Mrs Brown, the purpose of teaching her children at home is ________． [　　] A． looking after them by herself B． teaching them what they like C． helping her to do housework D． teaching them more basics (5) It can be inferred from the passage that ________． [　　] A． no measures can be taken to regulate the home：school education B． most parents are not satisfied with public education C． it is wiser for schools to accept enrollment part time D． the home-schooled have no difference with those in public schools

Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．C;3．B;4．D;5．C;
解析：

(1)	考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段第二句的后半句可知教育專家懷疑在家學(xué)習(xí)需要外界的幫助。其余三項(xiàng)在文章中沒有信息支持。
(2)	考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“In some cases, parents home-school to escape compulsory education…”可判斷此項(xiàng)正確。本段是說有另外1/4的家長(zhǎng)對(duì)公共教育持懷疑態(tài)度，所以A項(xiàng)不正確；本段開頭部分是說在家教育孩子的父母中大約有一半人有宗教信仰，因此B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；D項(xiàng)在文章中沒有信息支持。
(3)	考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中間部分的“weak regulations in most states…”可知在很多州中，沒有對(duì)在家教育制定硬性規(guī)定，缺乏嚴(yán)格管理。根據(jù)本段后半部分中的內(nèi)容可排除A項(xiàng)；根據(jù)本段中的“Although children often learn well at home…”可排除C、D兩項(xiàng)。
(4)	考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中間部分中的“Mrs．Brown says her motive is to give more training in basics…”可知她的目的是教給孩子們更多的基本知識(shí)。
(5)	[解析]考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段的最后部分可推測(cè)此項(xiàng)正確。第一段的開頭部分是說教育專家對(duì)如何調(diào)整在家教育的做法感到困惑，這并不意味著沒有解決辦法，因此A項(xiàng)不恰當(dāng)；第二段中是說在家教育孩子的父母中大約有一半的家長(zhǎng)懷疑公共教育，所以B項(xiàng)不正確；D項(xiàng)在文章中沒有信息支持。 　　[文章大意]由于各種各樣的原因，美國(guó)的很多孩子在家中接受教育，而不是坐在教室中。這在教育界頗具爭(zhēng)議，這種道路究竟能走多遠(yuǎn)？誰能說清楚呢？
