28、.DJane Harper.23（8分） A primary school in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province has announced it no longer requires parents to sign their childrens homework, which was aimed at getting parents to supervise(监督) their children after school. China Youth Daily comments: Putting an end to the requirement that parents

29、 sign off on the homework of their children eases the burden on many parents, as otherwise they would have to do primary school homework after a hard days work. But there are worries that if parents stop having to sign off on their childrens homework, the children will not get good grades.However, t

30、he most effective way for children to study is to develop their willingness to learn and do their own studies. When doing homework, students practice and hopefully apply what they have learned. It is true that teachers are supposed to check students homework and identify their mistakes. But some par

31、ents correct their childrens mistakes by themselves when signing off on it.It is the duty of students to do their homework, be responsible for their studies and correct their mistakes. Parents supervising their homework, checking their answers and dealing with the harder problems will only make chil

32、dren less aware of their mistakes and encourage them to wait for their parents help when they face any problems.Children have to manage their own learning and develop the ability to study by themselves, as competence will not be achieved if a student simply repeats strict tasks in which he is assist

33、ed in school by teachers and at home by parents.A delayed satisfaction experiment conducted by Walter Mischel in the 1960s proved that children with better self-discipline(自律) performed better in their studies and interpersonal relationships.There is little doubt that parents supervision can make ch

34、ildrens homework better.

BTo introduce the topic.CTo present an argument. DTo clarify his w

36、ch of the following can be an effect caused by parents stopping signing off?AChildrens grades will absolutely decrease.BChildren will lose confidence when facing any problems.CChildren will simply repeat rigid tasks so as to practice themselves.DChildren will try to deal with their problems and mist

37、akes by themselves.4、What is the authors attitude to parents stopping signing kids homework?ASupportive. BIndifferent.CNeutral. DOpposed24（8分）The old traditional saying about sleeping with one eye open in an unfamiliar place may not be too far off the mark. Over the course of three experiments on 35

38、young and healthy volunteers, researchers in a new study measured brain activity during two continuous nights of sleep.Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests by stimulating the left and then the right hemisphere(大脑的半球)with sounds. On the second night, there wasnt any difference in rea

39、ctions to tests between the left and right hemispheres, even during deep sleep. This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one hemisphere of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude. The way participants responded to the sleep lab tests points to the potential for

40、 the brain to be on high alert for danger during the first night in unfamiliar surroundings. While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email. “Frequent tr

41、avel may lead to unrestful sleep,” Sasaki said. “But if you stay for a few days at the same place, your sleep might catch up.”Some birds have been found to actually sleep with one eye open and one side of the brain awake when theyre in a dangerous setting, and some marine mammals have similar abilit

42、ies, the authors note. But the new study focuses on healthy volunteers but not people with insomnia or other sleep disorders, the authors note.“The clinical implications havent been confirmed at the moment,” Finan, a psychiatry （精神医学）and behavioral health researcher said. “However, the level of spec

43、ificity provided by these analyses could be an important first step in understanding what sleep disorders like insomnia(失眠) arise from, which is thought to be driven in many patients by continuing having a lot of worries.”1、What do the underlined words “may not be too far off the mark” in Paragraph

44、1 mean?AMay make senseBMay be ridiculous.CMay cause argumentsDMay be disturbing.2、What can we know from Paragraph 3?APeople are used to waking up and going to bed early when travelling.BBusiness travelers usually have a brief sleep at night.CIt brings much trouble to those who stay far away from the

45、ir homes.DIt takes time for people to adapt themselves to a new environment.3、According to Finan, the study is helpful in _.Afinding out the root cause of sleep disordersBtelling the effect of worries on sleep disordersCcomforting as many patients with sleep disorders as possibleDoffering ways to fr

46、ee the patients from the suffering of sleep disorders25（10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

47、,” says author Alfie 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 s

48、he 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 dont like to do, and that homework teaches self-d

49、iscipline, 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, theyre not really exercising judgment, and are instead losing their sense of autonomy.At the Kino School, Cera says children often choose t

50、o 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 educa

51、tion 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

52、 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, its worth taking a moment to examine if were asking the right questions about our childrens education.1、Which of the following is Koh

53、ns idea?AHomework teaches students life skills.BStandardized tests are not important in education.CThe quality of homework is linked to students interests.DHomework is not connected with academic achievement in elementary school.2、According to the text, Mary Jane Cera _.Athinks that learning should

54、help develop students creativityBargues some homework should be assigned to studentsCfinds her students cant finish their homework on timeDbelieves in the connection between homework and academic achievement3、What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?AStudents who so more homework study better.BSt

55、udents who refuse homework have better time management skills.CStudents who have control over their studies can do better in college.DStudents who have better professors have better academic performance.4、What is the attitude of the author towards homework?AOpposed. BObjective.CIndifferent. DSupport
