A
Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You probably say that they go to learn their own language and English, mathematics, geography (地理), history, science and all the other subjects.
We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they grow up and have to work for themselves. They learn their own language so that they know and understand what others tell them. They learn English in order to be able to benefit from what people in western countries have written and said and in order to make people from other countries understand what they themselves mean. They learn mathematics in order to be able to measure and count things in their daily life, geography in order to know something about the world around them, and history to know something about the human beings they meet every day. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life, but is that the only reason why they go to school?
No. There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school above all to learn how to learn so that we can continue to learn when we have left school. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful, because whenever he has to do it, he does it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, either is unable to do something new or does it badly. The purpose of school, therefore, is not just to teach languages, mathematics, geography, etc., but to teach students the way to learn.
1. In order to make other people from foreign countries understand you, you should learn ________.
A. modern science B. foreign languages C. geography D. history
2. Nearly all the subjects they learn at school have ________.
A. no use in their future life B. little use in their future life
C. nothing to do with their daily life D. some practical use in their life
3. A person will surely be successful if he really knows ________.
A. how to learn B. some foreign languages C. something new D. several subjects

Smart watch, a new product, is changing our lifestyle. More and more people prefer to choose a smart watch in their dally life. And there are also many different brands (品牌) to choose, such as Apple, Huawei, Samsung and Xiaomi. Here are the reasons why people choose a smart watch.

Graduating from high school is a milestone event. Most students are 18 when they graduate, but one Pennsylvania boy from Bensalem, a suburb of Philadelphia, just graduated and he is only nine and he is one of the youngest ever to do so.
David Balogun recently received his diploma from the Reach Cyber Charter (特许) School in Harrisburg where he was studying remotely. He has already started taking college courses. Besides being excellent in school, David loves computer programming, science, martial arts, and playing the piano.
David’s parents have advanced degrees but it is demanding to raise a child with an extraordinary intellectual gift. “I had to get outside of the box,” David’s mother, Ronya Balogun, told the local television station. “Playing pillow fights when you’re not supposed to, throwing the balls in the house. He’s a 9-year-old with a brain that just has the capacity to understand and comprehend a lot of concepts that are beyond his years and sometimes beyond my understanding.”
Putting David in the charter school was a no-brainer for his parents. “When he heard the STEM program, at seven years old, he was jumping up and down. I said ‘Okay, this is where we’re going, this is what we’re doing.’ He loved it from the first moment. It’s been an amazing journey,” she added.
David’s remarkable education began two years ago, when he became a student at the charter school. Shortly after he began attending the school, David placed out of the elementary and middle school courses and began high school.
David already knows that he wants to be an astrophysicist (天体物理学家). But he has to complete his education first. While he has already completed a semester at Buck County Community College, his parents are researching college and university options that will be more challenging. They are looking into Ivy League schools including the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Harvard, but since David is still only nine, he can’t live on campus.

The term “digital equity (公平)” has been talked about for several years, but school closures during the COVID-19 epidemic have brought increased attention to the issue. However, while much focus has been on improving access to technology for students, an area of digital equity that often gets neglected is how parents are expected to engage with their children’s schools.
Research shows that students with engaged families earn higher grades, adapt more quickly, have better behavior and social skills. Parents who know what is happening in the classroom are better equipped to help their children succeed and can combine learning at home with learning at school. That’s why equitable communication with parents needs to be part of a district’s overall equity goals.
Equitable parent communication requires schools to meet parents where they are, especially considering that nearly 1 in 4 US homes live with no Internet access. Parents who do not have smart phones or personal computers should have the same access to their children’s teachers as parents with the latest technology.
Often districts use communication platforms that require parents to log into a website, choose a messaging service, or download software. Each of these obstacles restricts communication pathways for parents who do not have access to the required technology. Districts should consider platforms that enable parents to receive phone calls to fixed-line telephones and SMS messages to standard cellphones.
In addition, platforms that focus on “blast” and “mass” types of messaging are sufficient for distributing information related to an entire classroom or school but miss the mark on developing meaningful relationships with individual parents and creating real engaging opportunities. Districts should opt to use tools that create digital equity for parents and create an environment where meaningful conversations can take place.
To conclude, good school-home relationships are a crucial factor in children’s education. Positive school-home relationships must get supported as equitable communication is the pathway to engaging all parents in helping students achieve more success.
12. What does the underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Mentioned. B. Ignored. C. Explored. D. Stressed.
13. What is the result of the research in Paragraph 2?
A. Students can adapt to school life easily.
B. Students can deal with challenges on their own.
C. Parents’ habits significantly affect their children.
D. Parents’ involvement in children’s schooling is rewarding.
14. What should districts do to promote positive school-home relationships?
A. Make environment more friendly
B. Provide free cellphones for parents.
C. Popularize communication websites
D. Find ways to provide equitable communication.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Digital equity can help students succeed.
B. Parents should value communication platforms.
C. School-home relationships are important in children’s education.
D. Meaningful conversations will benefit children’s education greatly.

The term “digital equity (公平)” has been talked about for several years, but school closures during the COVID-19 epidemic have brought increased attention to the issue. However, while much focus has been on improving access to technology for students, an area of digital equity that often gets neglected is how parents are expected to engage with their children’s schools.
Research shows that students with engaged families earn higher grades, adapt more quickly, have better behavior and social skills. Parents who know what is happening in the classroom are better equipped to help their children succeed and can combine learning at home with learning at school. That’s why equitable communication with parents needs to be part of a district’s overall equity goals.
Equitable parent communication requires schools to meet parents where they are, especially considering that nearly 1 in 4 US homes live with no Internet access. Parents who do not have smart phones or personal computers should have the same access to their children’s teachers as parents with the latest technology.
Often districts use communication platforms that require parents to log into a website, choose a messaging service, or download software. Each of these obstacles restricts communication pathways for parents who do not have access to the required technology. Districts should consider platforms that enable parents to receive phone calls to fixed-line telephones and SMS messages to standard cellphones.
In addition, platforms that focus on “blast” and “mass” types of messaging are sufficient for distributing information related to an entire classroom or school but miss the mark on developing meaningful relationships with individual parents and creating real engaging opportunities. Districts should opt to use tools that create digital equity for parents and create an environment where meaningful conversations can take place.
To conclude, good school-home relationships are a crucial factor in children’s education. Positive school-home relationships must get supported as equitable communication is the pathway to engaging all parents in helping students achieve more success.
12. What does the underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Mentioned. B. Ignored. C. Explored. D. Stressed.
13. What is the result of the research in Paragraph 2?
A. Students can adapt to school life easily.
B. Students can deal with challenges on their own.
C. Parents’ habits significantly affect their children.
D. Parents’ involvement in children’s schooling is rewarding.
14. What should districts do to promote positive school-home relationships?
A. Make environment more friendly
B Provide free cellphones for parents.
C. Popularize communication websites
D. Find ways to provide equitable communication.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Digital equity can help students succeed.
B. Parents should value communication platforms.
C. School-home relationships are important in children’s education.
D. Meaningful conversations will benefit children’s education greatly.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学校与家庭的关系在儿童教育中很重要。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“However, while much focus has been on improving access to technology for students, an area of digital equity that often gets neglected is how parents are expected to engage with their children’s schools. (然而,虽然很多人都在关注如何改善学生获得技术的机会,但数字公平的一个领域往往被neglected,那就是家长应该如何与孩子的学校互动。)”可知,划线词与 much focus has been on“关注”意思相反。A. Mentioned提及;B. Ignored被忽视;C. Explored探索;D. Stressed强调。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Research shows that students with engaged families earn higher grades, adapt more quickly, have better behavior and social skills. (研究表明,家庭投入的学生成绩更高,适应更快,有更好的行为和社交技巧。)”可知,研究结果是父母参与孩子的教育是值得的。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Often districts use communication platforms that require parents to log into a website, choose a messaging service, or download software. Each of these obstacles restricts communication pathways for parents who do not have access to the required technology. Districts should consider platforms that enable parents to receive phone calls to fixed-line telephones and SMS messages to standard cellphones. (通常,学区使用的交流平台要求家长登录网站,选择信息服务或下载软件。这些障碍都限制了父母的沟通途径,因为他们无法获得所需的技术。各学区应考虑让家长能够接听固定电话和接收标准手机短信的平台。)”可知,学区应该找到提供公平沟通的方法来促进积极的学校与家庭关系。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“To conclude, good school-home relationships are a crucial factor in children’s education. Positive school-home relationships must get supported as equitable communication is the pathway to engaging all parents in helping students achieve more success. (总之,良好的学校与家庭关系是孩子教育的关键因素。积极的学校与家庭关系必须得到支持,因为公平的沟通是让所有家长参与帮助学生取得更大成功的途径。)”可知,本文讲述学校与家庭的关系在儿童教育中很重要。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了有一份课外工作对青少年很有意义,所有的青少年,不管他们父母的经济状况如何,都应该有一份课外工作。
【16题详解】
根据上文“When your children become teenagers, it’s time to start considering an after-school job.”(当你的孩子十几岁时,是时候开始考虑一份课外工作了)以及下文“ so why shouldn’t our children? ”(为什么我们的孩子不能呢?)可知,此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句,故D项(在美国,大多数成年人在青少年时期都有一份工作)符合语境,既对应了上文提到的课外工作,又引出下文,与下文说的现在的青少年没有课外工作形成对比,故选D。
【17题详解】
根据本空前的“By allowing your teenagers to have an after-school job you allow them to learn about money management. ”(通过让你的青少年有一份课后工作,你让他们学习理财)可知,孩子们通过课外工作可以学会理财,下文“they will have to manage how much money they can spend. ”(他们不得不控制花钱的数量)又说他们不得不节省开支,这说明他们在为某一个目标攒钱,故A项(如果他们正在为他们的第一台车攒钱)符合语境,故选A。
【18题详解】
根据本空前的“You are probably saying, “Teens will get into trouble whether they have a job or not.””(你可能会说“不管有没有工作,孩子都会陷入麻烦”)可知,此处承接上文,继续说“青少年会不会遇到麻烦”这一话题,故G项(如果你的孩子每周工作五个晚上,他们就不大可能陷入麻烦)符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据本空前的“It’s a good idea to show your teenagers that hard work is what it takes to finish everything in their lives.”(让孩子们知道完成生活中的每一件事都需要努力工作是一个好主意)可知,此处说的还是关于努力工作的话题,故E项(如果把一切都给他们,他们就不会明白努力工作的意义)符合语境,故选E。
【20题详解】
根据本空后的“All teenagers, no matter what their parents’ financial situation is, should have a job.”(所有的青少年,不管他们父母的经济状况如何,都应该有一份课外工作)可知,此处在肯定课外工作对于青少年的重要意义,故C项(对所有的青少年来说,有一份课外工作是一个好主意)符合语境,故选C。
