21．（6分）The old saying that practice makes perfect seems to make no sense when it comes to schoolwork. Many educators today are looking for evidence to support the case for homework, but are coming up empty-handed. “Homework is all pain and no gain,” says author Alfi e Kohn. He points out that no study has ever found a relationship between homework and academic achievement in elementary school.
Mary Jane Cera is the academic administrator for the Kino School, a private, non-profit
kindergarten0through-12th-grade school in Tucson, Arizona, and she maintains a no-homework policy across all grades. The purpose of the policy is to make sure learning remains a joy, not a thing that discourages social time and creative activity.
Many supporters of homework argue that life is filled with things we don’t like to do, and that homew
ork teaches self-discipline, time management and other non-academic life skills. Kohn challenges this popular idea; he says that if kids have no choice when it comes to homework, they’re not really exer cising judgment, and are instead losing their sense of autonomy.
At the Kino School, Cera says children often choose to take their favorite parts of school home. “A lot of what we see kids doing is continuing to write in journals, practicing music with their friends, and taking experiments home to show their parents,” she says. Surveys of Kino graduates suggest that the early control they are given over their education continues to serve them well into college, and that they feel better equipped to manage their time and approach professors with questions than other students do.
One of the reasons why we continue to assign homework, Kohn says, is our obsession（着迷）with standardized tests. Even if we can agree on the importance of kids doing better on tests, he says, there is no research to suggest that homework is the ticket to success.
Wherever the homework debate goes next, it’s worth taking a moment to examine if we’re asking the right questions about our children’s education.
1、Which of the following is Koh n’s idea?
A．Homework teaches students life skills.
B．Standardized tests are not important in education.
C．The quality of homework is linked to students’ interests.
D．Homework is not connected with academic achievement in elementary school.
2、According to the text, Mary Jane Cera ________.
A．thinks that learning should help develop student’s creativity
B．argues some homework should be assigned to students
C．finds her students can’t finish their homework on time
D．believes in the connection between homework and academic achievement
3、What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A．Students who so more homework study better.
B．Students who refuse homework have better time – management skills.
C．Students who have control over their studies can do better in college.
D．Students who have better professors have better academic performance.
4、What is the attitude of the author towards homework?
A．Opposed. B．Objective.
C．Indifferent. D．Supportive.
22．（8分）It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.
To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child,s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.
At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child,s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.
The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicat
es that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.
1、What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program ?
A．The large number of poor families.
磁带备份B．The disapproval from children.
C．The late start of the program.
D．The long period of time.
2、What do we know about the “Missouri” program ?
A．It focused on the children,s first school teachers.
B．It helped the children return to the same home.
C．It made the children improved in many aspects.
D．It gave the parents advice on their development.
3、According to the passage, what is likely to influence children,s performance ?
A．The number of family members. B．The parent-child communication.
C．The intelligence of their parents. D．The teacher-student relationship.
4、How does the author develop the passage ?
A．By listing figures. B．By making comparisons.
C．By giving examples. D．By drawing conclusions.
