Question

【題目】As we all know, children are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly, today’s children are sometimes being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons, drugs and gangs in the USA. Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.

Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility and freedom to create your own schedule. At Sunny Home School we believe the choice should be yours.

Thanks to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across the nation. A recent study by the ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) and TAP (Tests of Achievement and Proficiency) shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.

If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children?”

Fact: A nationwide study using a random selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile (百分位的第80位) in all areas, on standardized achievement test. (Note: The national average on standardized achievement test is the 50th percentile.)

Collectively, the staff at Sunny Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum. We’ve placed students in the top 2% of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college.

One study found that of the home schooled students, 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons.

【答案】

【小題1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【小題5】C

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一則面向父母的廣告，大力介紹了home schools的好處。

【小題1】B 推理判斷題。第一段說了一個令人悲傷的現(xiàn)實，我們本該用一些可以讓孩子們的未來成功的工具將孩子們武裝起來，但是現(xiàn)在孩子們卻武裝上了及其危險的工具比如武器，毒品等。對學(xué)生和老師們來說，學(xué)校本應(yīng)是很平靜的環(huán)境，現(xiàn)在卻變得不安全了。因此B項，“許多校園里都存在暴力和犯罪”是正確的。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題目選項定位到原文第二段的“Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility and freedom to create your own schedule.”可知A項正確。再根據(jù)第三段第二句話“A recent study ... shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average.”可知B項正確。再根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知D項正確。C項在文中沒有提及。故選C。

【3】D寫作意圖題。通讀全文可知作者一直在列舉home school的好處，最后還給出了聯(lián)系方式。因此這是一個推廣home school的廣告。所以這篇文章的寫作目的是勸大家選擇home schools。故選D。

【4】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段的內(nèi)容，“If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, ‘Will home schools really work for my children?’”如果你對home schooling還不是很了解，你可能會問home schools真的可以對我的孩子有效嗎?因此這篇文章的受眾是父母們。故選B。

【小題5】C推理判斷題。全篇作者一直再用諸如our一類的帶有主觀色彩的詞語，并且一直在宣傳home schools的優(yōu)勢。而且在最后還給出了聯(lián)系方式。因此推斷出這是一個廣告。故選C。
