Question

Nowadays they are giving homework even during the holidays and I hate that very much. But I think there is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we have learnt. Regular drilling and repetition make perfect. But teachers have started to give too much homework. Anything in excess (過(guò)度) is bad.

What’s the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight (洞察) into the subject? It just makes them bookworms but nothing else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at home will just make them memorize things but not put them into use. I regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (歸攏) the children with homework rather than making them get interested to understand what they learn. The same trend continues even in college. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things in an interview.

It is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at least we must be free in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired and we wouldn’t be able to pay attention to extra-curricular activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health. So please give less homework to us.

Johnson

It is part of our work to give students homework. There will be some punishments if we won’t do our work. So I have to do that though I know such a teacher is not liked by students.

【解析】

試題分析：本文作者借幾個(gè)人對(duì)“老師是否應(yīng)該布置家庭作業(yè)”來(lái)陳述他們的一些觀點(diǎn)和看法，以此來(lái)表明作者寫(xiě)作本文的目的。

1. you give homework, we will be very tired and we wouldn’t be able to pay attention to extra-curricular activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health.”如果老師布置了家庭作業(yè)，我們將會(huì)很累，然后不會(huì)太注意去參加一些額外的課程活動(dòng)，這就會(huì)影響我們身體和精神上的健康。因此可知，“太多的家庭作業(yè)會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)生身體和精神上的健康有害”這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)是Sally提出的。故選C。

2. regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (歸攏) the children with homework rather than making them get interested to understand what they learn.”我很遺憾地說(shuō)，老師覺(jué)得用家庭作業(yè)區(qū)歸攏學(xué)生很容易，而不是讓他們?nèi)ダ斫馑鶎W(xué)的知識(shí)。因此可知“家庭作業(yè)應(yīng)該幫助學(xué)生學(xué)一些實(shí)踐性的東西。”這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)是Jane提出的。故選B。
