一、阅读理解

After a year of examining studies concerning whether homework is effective, NYC P.S. 116 elementary

school decided that math worksheets and essay assignments were actually a waste of time. In February,

Principal Jane Hsu sent a letter to parents stating that the Pre-K through fifth grade students would not

be given any traditional homework to encourage kids to have free time for reading, playing outside, or

doing activities they enjoy.

"The negative effects of homework have been well established," Hsu wrote in a note to parents. "They

include: children’s frustration and exhaustion, lack of time for other activities and family time and,

sadly for many, loss of interest in learning."

Some parents, however, disagree with the policy change, believing that a lack of focus will cause

children to fall behind. Homework has been part of education from the beginning, and has increased in volume

in recent years.

Hsu’s advice that children should read and spend time with their families has upset some parents to

the point of considering pulling their children out of P.S. 116. This group feels that homework assignments

give children a goal to work toward. Others feel so strongly about the importance of homework that they

have begun giving their own homework assignments to their children.

An Australian Childhood Foundation survey found that 71% of Australian parents feel they do not spend

enough quality time with their children mainly because of the time spent running the household or the time

spent helping with homework. Education experts in Australia are saying that parents should stop helping.

Doing so will give kids more independence, will give parents more free time, and will help reduce the number

of homework-induced arguments in the family.

While some research suggests that homework has little academic benefit for elementary students, other

research shows homework can help kids develop independence, and confidence. It can also contribute to a

sense of belonging or control over their lives. When parents try to help their children with homework,

the assistance can take away that feeling and can also drain already exhausted working parents.

【文章大意】这是一篇议论文，文章对是否应该给小学生布置家庭作业进行了论述。

1.C 【解析】考查细节理解。依据第一段末尾的"...to encourage kids to have free time for reading, playing

outside, or doing activities they enjoy"可知，这所学校取消数学和作文这类家庭作业是为了让孩子们有更多的时间读书，在户外玩耍或者参加自己喜欢的活动，由此可推知这个学校希望学生们寻求自我发展。

2.B 【解析】考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"After a year of examining studies concerning whether homework

is effective"以及第二段的内容可知，校长对此做了全面的调查。

4.D 【解析】考查观点态度。依据文章尾段中的"When parents try to help their children with homework, the

assistance can take away that feeling and can also drain already exhausted working parents"可推知，对于家长在作业上帮助孩子的问题，作者持有否定的看法。
