Question

【題目】Homework

Do arithmetic problems 15 through 25. State the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don't forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.

Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights － or maybe even just for tonight? 【1】 It's your teachers' way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts.

【2】 It's inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you're more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can － but don't spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. 【3】But don't pick someone whom you'll be up all night chatting with, or you'll never get it done!

Most people's attention spans aren't very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people. 【4】

Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack － there's nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can't find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. 【5】 Now you're free to hang out.

A. Homework is a major part of going to school.

B. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.

C. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.

D. But if you're really concentrating, wait until it's a good time to stop.

E. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.

F. And no teacher still believes that "chewed by the dog" line － even when it's true!

G. In conclusion, no one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.

【解析】本文主要針對完成家庭作業(yè)提出了幾個建議，要從最難的題目開始、可適當尋求幫助、每隔一小時可休息片刻，最后要認真檢查等。

【1】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。后句中的it代指A選項中的homework。句意：家庭作業(yè)是上學的主要部分。故A選項符合要求。

【2】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。根據后句so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging可知本段主要是建議學生們先從最難的作業(yè)著手，因為一開始你最有精力思想也最集中。故選C項。

【3】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。后句用轉折連詞but連接，并提到不要找一個整晚聊不完的人討論作業(yè)。故前句應該是說可以求助于某些人。故選E。

【4】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。對于大部分人來說每小時休息15分鐘是好的，但是如果你能真正地集中精神，那么也可以等到一個合適的時間在休息。故選D。

【5】考查上下文的理解判斷能力。本段主要講要預防其他一些意外事情給作業(yè)帶來的破壞．可知F正確。句意：沒有老師會相信我的作業(yè)被狗咬了這樣的話，甚至是真實的時候。故選F。
