Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was their parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks."They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. "A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."underlined expression "parental involvement" in Paragraph 1 probablymeans .' expectation on children's health' participation in children's education' control over children's life' plan for children's futureis the major finding of Robinson's study?parents raise children in a more scientific way.kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.involvement is not so beneficial as expected.are not able to help with children’s homework.example of Asian-American parents implies that parentsshould .children realize the importance of schoolinga specific life goal for their childrenmore time improving their own livesa more active part in school management14、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman，to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately.Frankfurt­based IT consultant，Daniel Kalliontzis，came up with the idea and is raising money to put his 54(￡43) sticker into production.Car owners can put the sticker inside their car’s windscreen，having set it up with key information，such as their phone number.The slim design will include a sensor(传感器) that，when touched by a traffic policeman，will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine.The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphone，which will appear on the stick er’s screen.The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and critically，a German law.The law states：an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle.It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car.MailOnline asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way.A spokesman said，“In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket.However，a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn’t think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning.〞So far，Mr.Kalliontzis has raised just over 3，000(￡2，362 ) of his 50，000(￡39，381) goal.If he manages to raise the money，the stickers will be shipped in June2017.But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages，because anyone could touch the smart sticker.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·成都第二次诊断)A team of engineers at Harvard University createdthe first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and we have to develop them all on our own，” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依赖) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to，”said Wood.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off­board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built­in power source, so that it might someday perform data­gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect­scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead，”he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day­to­day basis.”【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。
