Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.The number of parents teaching their offspring at home will increase if the current public school system continues to be viewed as an irrelevant institution that can hinder a child's ability to learn.The rise of home-schooling reflects broadening dissatisfaction with formal education in the US. Discontent is high for two reasons. First, public schools are turning out a poor product--illiterate and unprepared graduates. For example, American 13-year-olds have been documented as having math skills that rank below their counterparts in 14 other developed countries. One survey noted that just one-third of high school juniors could place the Civil War in the correct half-century. Equally troubling, public schools have become scenes where drugs are sold, teachers are robbed, and homemade bombs are found in lockers.Compounding the situation, teachers' unions, school officials, and many politicians adamantly(坚决地) oppose the use of public monies(钱) for innovative solutions, such as vouchers and charter schools. Those alternatives, although not a panacea(万能) for all the present problems, are at least promising vehicles that could help poor and middle-income parents to find better schools for their children and break up the monopoly of a "one-size-fits-all" philosophy of education.In light of the educational quagmire(沼泽) the US finds itself in, many parents, impatient for reform, are taking matters into their own hands. One alternative that is gaining growing public acceptance is the educational option known as home-schooling. Home-schooling is defined simply as the "education of school-aged children at home rather than at a school". Home-schoolers believe that students who receive instruction simultaneously from the home and the community at large will be more culturally sophisticated than those whose bulk of learning experience is confined to a school. Home-schooling families believe they are using their liberties well and wisely. The American can-do spirit is evident in the home-schools and households parents manage simultaneously. Those families, however, could use some further deregulation, be it through home-school tax credits or a loosening of compulsory attendance school laws, to make their task easier.According to the text, the number of children being schooled at home has increased because ______.A．children don't want to go to schoolB．parents are dissatisfied with pubic schoolsC．home-schooled children learn betterD．public schools are too crowded
in britain，children from the age of 5 to 16_______________.A. can not receive free education at all.B. can legally receive partly free education.C. can not receive free education if their parents are rich.D. can legally receive completely free education.
Text 4As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants in to American society.The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, Unions, churches, and other agencies.Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were one such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home.Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women. American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early twentieth-century, United States. However, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.36. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of education in the United States was ______.A) the growing number of schools in frontier communitiesB) an increase in the number of trained teachersC) the expanding economic problems of schoolsD) the increased urbanization of the entire country
According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920's was that ______.A) most places required children to attendB) the amount of time spent on formal education was limitedC) new regulations were imposed on nontraditional educationD) adults and children studied in the same classes
Children for whom school has no pointMany children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.The Ministry of Education will take away a school's grant if__.A.they do not reach their objectivesB.they do not contact parentsC.children escape from schoolD.they meet their targets

共用题干第三篇The Home-schoolingSometimes,the line between private and public education can become very vague.Educators in the United States are wondering whether children who are taught at home should get some public services or how this growing practice(about 3 percent of American students are not fully registered in schools but receive education at home)should be regulated.In many western countries,many private schools are founded by religious bodies. Approximately haff the parents who decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously and use lessons by Internet or mail from church schools.Probably an additional fourth have some doubts about public education.They believe that regular schools don't meet the special needs of their children.It also happens that home-school is adopted by parents to escape compulsory education,for example,some selfish parents have older children take care of his or her younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）or work in home businesses while only teaching them for a very short time.Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home,although children often learn well in home-schooling. With growing frequency,however,public schools offer services to the home-schooled.Local government may allow children who receive education at home to enroll local school part time.However,educators have concerns that these kids could later return full time,but their serious academic weaknesses may lead them to falling behind in their studies,and some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from kids who used to study part time to fill empty seats.In Kent,Ohio,Mrs. Ringer taught her three children at home in the past years while operating her bakery business there in the non-teaching hours.Mrs. Ringer said to our reporter that her motive was to give her children more training in basic curriculum,such as phonics（读音法）.Her curriculum is from a church school,and relevant tests are handed in and returned via e-mail.Three years ago her second child,Mark,wanted to join school programs regularly,and he enrolled at the local high school.Unable to keep pace with his classmates,Mark soon changed his mind and decided to continue studying at home.But he enjoyed the athletic program and chorus at school,so he was allowed by Mr. Ringer to continue in them while taking other courses at home.The education experts want to know_______.A:in what way home-schooling can be regulatedB:whether children should get some public servicesC:whether the family-school should be bannedD:whether it is appropriate for children to study at home

共用题干第三篇The Home-schoolingSometimes,the line between private and public education can become very vague.Educators in the United States are wondering whether children who are taught at home should get some public services or how this growing practice(about 3 percent of American students are not fully registered in schools but receive education at home)should be regulated.In many western countries,many private schools are founded by religious bodies. Approximately haff the parents who decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously and use lessons by Internet or mail from church schools.Probably an additional fourth have some doubts about public education.They believe that regular schools don't meet the special needs of their children.It also happens that home-school is adopted by parents to escape compulsory education,for example,some selfish parents have older children take care of his or her younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）or work in home businesses while only teaching them for a very short time.Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home,although children often learn well in home-schooling. With growing frequency,however,public schools offer services to the home-schooled.Local government may allow children who receive education at home to enroll local school part time.However,educators have concerns that these kids could later return full time,but their serious academic weaknesses may lead them to falling behind in their studies,and some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from kids who used to study part time to fill empty seats.In Kent,Ohio,Mrs. Ringer taught her three children at home in the past years while operating her bakery business there in the non-teaching hours.Mrs. Ringer said to our reporter that her motive was to give her children more training in basic curriculum,such as phonics（读音法）.Her curriculum is from a church school,and relevant tests are handed in and returned via e-mail.Three years ago her second child,Mark,wanted to join school programs regularly,and he enrolled at the local high school.Unable to keep pace with his classmates,Mark soon changed his mind and decided to continue studying at home.But he enjoyed the athletic program and chorus at school,so he was allowed by Mr. Ringer to continue in them while taking other courses at home.The following statements are the reasons for family-schooling EXCEPT_______.A:some parents have religious considerationB:some parents are doubtful about public educationC:some parents feel unsafe to send their children to go to regular schoolD:some parents want to escape the compulsory education
