Question

【題目】 Homework exams and most importantly, test scores--- the things you have to worry about seem endless. You are sure not alone. In China, many students are stressed out because of too much homework. But there might be good news for some of them.

On Oct 28th, the Education Department of Zhejiang Province polished a draft(提綱) on cutting students’ homework to ask about public opinions and it had became a hot topic. It gives primary school pupils the right to leave their homework unfinished after 9pm, and junior high school students after 10pm, with parents’ permission.

Children in Zhejiang will like the draft. However, it has mat strong objections(反對) from parents. Although parents don’t want their children under too much pressure with homework, many disagree to cut homework down.

There is a reason for the objections：gaokao, the “all-important” national entrance exam. If schools reduce homework, “the parents, who want their children to get higher scores, must provide them with more after-school trainings,” said a primary school teacher in Hangzhou.

The aim of this draft, an official in Zhejiang explained, is to help to treat students differently and make sure they get enough sleep.

Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences, also doubted if the guidelines would be carried on. “They are not suitable in the recent social environment.” He said to People’s Daily.

“Even if schools make changes, it is difficult to change the way that students study for scores.” He suggests that it would make better sense to make the system of college admission more flexible, and in many other countries, the performance of students is judged by professional institution rather than government.

【4】D

【解析】

本篇由浙江發(fā)布的學生減負草案談到當前教育制度下，家長們的焦慮既不愿讓孩子作業(yè)壓力太大，又要讓孩子考好成績；高考的制度不變，學生不可能因為學校減負而減少學習；中國教育科學研究院研究員儲朝暉指出，只有改變大學的錄取的制度，減負才是可行的。

【1】詞義猜測題。由上文可知雖然家長不想讓孩子在家庭作業(yè)上承受太大壓力，但許多家長不同意減少家庭作業(yè)。根據(jù)文句表達的邏輯關(guān)系，推斷指“很多的家長”不同意減負，故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“it has mat strong objections(反對) from parents.”—— 這個草案在浙江不受很多家長歡迎，所以，A表述正確；根據(jù)第四段““the parents, who want their children to get higher scores, must provide them with more after-school trainings,”可知為了取得好成績，減負后家長會送孩子參加更多的課外培訓，所以，B表述正確；根據(jù)第五段“The aim of this draft, an official in Zhejiang explained, is to help to treat students differently and make sure they get enough sleep.”可知制定草案的目的是要有區(qū)別地對待學生，確保他們有足夠的睡眠，所以C表述錯誤； D表述正確；故選C。

【3】句意猜測題。由最后2段儲朝暉的話可知現(xiàn)行的高考制度，即使學校減負了，學生為了分數(shù)而學習的方式很難改變；除非讓大學錄取制度更加靈活才更有意義；故選B。

【4】最佳標題。本篇由浙江發(fā)布的學生減負草案談到當前教育制度下，高考的制度不變，學生不可能因為學校減負而減少學習；故選D。
