Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many paren
12、ts, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on his educational ritual. Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanc
13、ed courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a students academic grade.This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be
14、 assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children.District admi
15、nistrators say that homework will still be a part of schooling: teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want. But with homework counting for no more than 10% of their grades, students can easily skip half their homework and see very little difference on their report cards. Some students
16、 might do well on state tests without completing their homework, but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework? It is quite possible that the homework helped. Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students, the policy imposes a fla
17、t, across-the-board rule.At the same time, the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students academic achievement, it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments, not make them count for almost nothing. Con
18、versely, if homework matters, it should account for a significant portion of the grade. Meanwhile this policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful or appropriate to their age and the subject, or the teachers are not assigning more than they are willing to review an
19、d correct.The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board, which is responsible for setting educational policy, looks into the matter and conducts public hearings. It is not too late for L.A. Unified to do homework right.21. It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_.A. is
20、receiving more criticismB. is no longer an educational ritualC. is not required for advanced coursesD. is gaining more preferences22. L.A. Unified has made the rule about homework mainly because poor students_.A. tend to have moderate expectations for their educationB. have asked for a different edu
21、cational standardC. may have problems finishing their homeworkD. have voiced their complaints about homework23. According to Paragraph 3, one problem with the policy is that it may_.A. discourage students from doing homeworkB. result in students indifference to their report cardsC. undermine the aut
22、hority of state testsD. restrict teachers power in education24. As mentioned in Paragraph 4, a key question unanswered about homework is whether_. A. it should be eliminatedB. it counts much in schoolingC. it places extra burdens on teachersD. it is important for grades25. A suitable title for this
23、text could be_.A. Wrong Interpretation of an Educational PolicyB. A Welcomed Policy for Poor StudentsC. Thorny Questions about HomeworkD. A Faulty Approach to HomeworkText2Pretty in pink: adult women do not remember being so obsessed with the colour, yet it is pervasive in our young girls lives. It
24、is not that pink is intrinsically bad, but it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow and, though it may celebrate girlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls identity to appearance. Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as
25、evidence of innocence. Looking around, I despaired at the singular lack of imagination about girls lives and interests.Girls attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not. Children were not c
26、olour-coded at all until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. Whats more, both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses. When nursery co
27、lours were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolised femininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex di
28、fferences became a dominant childrens marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seem inherently attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years.I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception
29、 of what is natural to kids, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take the toddler. I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into childrens behaviour: wrong. Turns out, according to Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it
30、 was popularised as a marketing trick by clothing manufacturers in the 1930s.Trade publications counseled department stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a “third stepping stone” between infant wear and older kids clothes. It was only after “toddler” became a common shoppers t
31、erm that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults, into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences or invent them where they did not previously exist.26. By saying it is.the rainbow(Line 3, Para.1), the author means pink_.A. should not be the sole representation of girlhoodB. should not be associated with girls innocenceC. cannot explain girls lack of imaginationD. cannot influence girls lives and interests27.According to Paragraph 2
