Homeschooling is the practice that one or several families working together to get their kids educated at home by the parents. Nowadays, homeschooling is rapidly growing in popularity in the United States, with the numbers increasing by at least 7 percent every year. There are currently approximately two million children homeschooled throughout the USA. Similarly, homeschooling is becoming a hot topic of debate in China, with a great deal of pros and cons.  The following are opinions from both sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides, and then  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.  First and foremost, homeschooling offers a great deal of freedom, especially educational freedom. While the basics are certainly covered for all homeschool students, the students have a great deal of freedom over what they specifically learn and when. Students can focus on the subject matter that gets them excited, whether that is history, biology or creative writing. Next, homeschooling offers a great deal of physical freedom. Without the strict schedule of school hours, homework and school trips, families have much more freedom to vacation at odd times, visit museums during the week and other such activities. Additionally, homeschooling offers emotional freedom. Students often experience troubles with bullies, peer pressure, boredom and competition. In a homeschool environment, these factors are eliminated. Students are able to think, dress and act the way that they want, making sure that self-esteem remains intact.  While homeschooling can do a great deal of good, there are also a number of disadvantages. First, there are the time restraints. Whether you work, are a single parent or simply choose a time-intensive schooling method, there is a great deal of factors limiting the time available for homeschooling. Financial restrains are another concern, as a source of income is often lost when the decision is made to homeschool. The closeness of homeschooling may prove too much for some families, as parents often must spend a larger amount of time with their children.  Other disadvantages come from limited social interactions. Firstly, team sports opportunities are limited for most homeschoolers, especially teenagers who want to participate in competitive sports. Secondly, homeschoolers may find themselves limited in outside connection. While family interaction is great, kids should interact with others outside of the family in order to live full and well-developed lives. Lastly, homeschooling is considered unusual, so you may experience negative comments and attitudes as a result of homeschooling.

考题 共用题干 American Families1 Despite social and economic differences among Americans,many American families have certain characteristics in common.Both the husband and wife were born in the United States,and their forefathers came from Europe.They have completed high school,and they belong to the middle class.They have a car, a television set,a washing machine,a refrigerator,a telephone,etc.They own their own home and spend about 55%of their income for housing and food.Clothing accounts for almost 10%of their income,medical care 6%,transportation 8%and taxes 15%.The rest of their income is used for such items as insurance, savings,gifts,and recreation.2 Most families consist of a mother,a father,and,at most,two children living at home.There may be relatives-grandparents,aunts,uncles,cousins living in the same community,but American families usually maintain separate households.This family structure is known as the"nuclear family".It is unusual. for members of the family other than the husband,wife,and children to live together.3 Marriage in the United States is considered a matte,r of individual responsibility and decision.Young people frequently fall in love and many even if their parents disagree.American marriages are usually based on romantic love,rather than on social class,education,or religion.4 After their marriage the young couple is free to decide where to live and when to start a family.Most young couples set up their own household immediately.In the early 1970s only 15%of all married couples were not living on their own-independently and by themselves.Most married people practise some kind of birth control.They plan the number of children they are going to have and when their children will be born. The practice of limiting the size of families has general approval.The birth rate has been declining steadily in recent years.There are among many American families______.A:live with their parentsB:their own decisionsC:most American families are usually smallD:the family structureE:some similar featuresF:has been dropping

考题 We first think of the traditional or nuclear family.This is a two-generation family,the father and the mother and their own children.Most couples wanted to have four children,two boys,two girls. Some nuclear families,however,may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them,that is three generations.This kind of family with grandparents,parents,and grandchildren is called an extended family.This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century,but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter.This is more possible now that American homes have become larger.What is interesting,however,is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families,this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family,with just two generations again living together,a grandparent and parents,with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits. Now,the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family.In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children.As I said,this can be the result of the husband's death,of an unmarried mother,of a separation or divorce.There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children,for any of the same reasons.A motherless family may also be fatherless,but still a family with one adult.This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work. One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common.A single parent with one or more children will marry again.Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent.Together they will start what is called a blended family,which blends together or combines the children from two other families. What is true to the fact in America?A.There are more and more members in a famil B.There are less and less members in a famil C.There is an increasing number of grandparents who refuse to look after their grandchildre D.There is an increasing number of grandparents who live separately from their childre

考题 共用题干 第三篇The Home-schoolingSometimes,the line between private and public education can become very vague.Educators in the United States are wondering whether children who are taught at home should get some public services or how this growing practice(about 3 percent of American students are not fully registered in schools but receive education at home)should be regulated.In many western countries,many private schools are founded by religious bodies. Approximately haff the parents who decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously and use lessons by Internet or mail from church schools.Probably an additional fourth have some doubts about public education.They believe that regular schools don't meet the special needs of their children.It also happens that home-school is adopted by parents to escape compulsory education,for example,some selfish parents have older children take care of his or her younger siblings(兄弟姐妹)or work in home businesses while only teaching them for a very short time.Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home,although children often learn well in home-schooling. With growing frequency,however,public schools offer services to the home-schooled.Local government may allow children who receive education at home to enroll local school part time.However,educators have concerns that these kids could later return full time,but their serious academic weaknesses may lead them to falling behind in their studies,and some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from kids who used to study part time to fill empty seats.In Kent,Ohio,Mrs. Ringer taught her three children at home in the past years while operating her bakery business there in the non-teaching hours.Mrs. Ringer said to our reporter that her motive was to give her children more training in basic curriculum,such as phonics(读音法).Her curriculum is from a church school,and relevant tests are handed in and returned via e-mail.Three years ago her second child,Mark,wanted to join school programs regularly,and he enrolled at the local high school.Unable to keep pace with his classmates,Mark soon changed his mind and decided to continue studying at home.But he enjoyed the athletic program and chorus at school,so he was allowed by Mr. Ringer to continue in them while taking other courses at home.The education experts want to know_______.A:in what way home-schooling can be regulatedB:whether children should get some public servicesC:whether the family-school should be bannedD:whether it is appropriate for children to study at home

考题 问答题Practice 4  If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition—wealth, distinction, control over one’s destiny—must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition’s behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared, and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are themselves admired, the educated not least among them. In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have given up on ambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition, if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents.

考题 问答题Practice 4  The other kind of bank—the Bank of the United States was simultaneously a commercial bank and a quasi-public central bank. The First Bank of the United States, chartered by the Congress in 1791, owed its existence to Alexander Hamilton who, shortly after becoming Secretary of the Treasury, showed remarkable insight into the financial problems of the young country and the economic implications of banking. The First Bank of the United States operated much like a private bank. But unlike a regular commercial bank, it had the federal government as a partner and number one customer. The Bank served as the fiscal agent for the government, holding government tax receipts, paying government bills, performing various financial housekeeping tasks. In return, the government kept its cash as deposits with the First Bank of the United States, giving it a huge financial base. The First Bank’s federal charter, moreover, allowed it to operate branches in all states, giving it a big competitive edge over regular state-chartered banks, which could operate only in the states that chartered them. Gradually the First Bank of the United States evolved into a sort of banker’s bank, gaining the power to police lesser commercial banks.

考题 问答题Practice 8  The United States has long been known as a “melting pot”, because many of its people are descended from settlers who came from all over the world to make their homes in the new land. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Attracted by reports of great economic opportunities and religious and political freedom, immigrants from many other countries flocked to the United States in increasing numbers, reaching a peak in the years 1880—1914. Between 1820 and 1980 the United States admitted almost 50 million immigrants.  Some 1,360,000 American Indians, descendants of North America's first inhabitants, now reside in the United States. Most live in the West, but many are in the south and north central areas. Of the more than 300 separate tribes, the largest is the Navaho in the Southwest.  Black people were first brought to America from Africa as slaves. Their descendants now make up nearly 12 percent of the population. They once lived mainly in the agricultural South but now are scattered throughout the nation.
