Question

【题目】 Homework exams and most importantly, test scores--- the things you have to worry about seem endless. You are sure not alone. In China, many students are stressed out because of too much homework. But there might be good news for some of them.

On Oct 28th, the Education Department of Zhejiang Province polished a draft(提纲) on cutting students’ homework to ask about public opinions and it had became a hot topic. It gives primary school pupils the right to leave their homework unfinished after 9pm, and junior high school students after 10pm, with parents’ permission.

Children in Zhejiang will like the draft. However, it has mat strong objections(反对) from parents. Although parents don’t want their children under too much pressure with homework, many disagree to cut homework down.

There is a reason for the objections：gaokao, the “all-important” national entrance exam. If schools reduce homework, “the parents, who want their children to get higher scores, must provide them with more after-school trainings,” said a primary school teacher in Hangzhou.

The aim of this draft, an official in Zhejiang explained, is to help to treat students differently and make sure they get enough sleep.

Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences, also doubted if the guidelines would be carried on. “They are not suitable in the recent social environment.” He said to People’s Daily.

“Even if schools make changes, it is difficult to change the way that students study for scores.” He suggests that it would make better sense to make the system of college admission more flexible, and in many other countries, the performance of students is judged by professional institution rather than government.

【解析】

本篇由浙江发布的学生减负草案谈到当前教育制度下，家长们的焦虑既不愿让孩子作业压力太大，又要让孩子考好成绩；高考的制度不变，学生不可能因为学校减负而减少学习；中国教育科学研究院研究员储朝晖指出，只有改变大学的录取的制度，减负才是可行的。

【1】词义猜测题。由上文可知虽然家长不想让孩子在家庭作业上承受太大压力，但许多家长不同意减少家庭作业。根据文句表达的逻辑关系，推断指“很多的家长”不同意减负，故选B。

【2】推理判断题。根据第三段“it has mat strong objections(反对) from parents.”—— 这个草案在浙江不受很多家长欢迎，所以，A表述正确；根据第四段““the parents, who want their children to get higher scores, must provide them with more after-school trainings,”可知为了取得好成绩，减负后家长会送孩子参加更多的课外培训，所以，B表述正确；根据第五段“The aim of this draft, an official in Zhejiang explained, is to help to treat students differently and make sure they get enough sleep.”可知制定草案的目的是要有区别地对待学生，确保他们有足够的睡眠，所以C表述错误； D表述正确；故选C。

【3】句意猜测题。由最后2段储朝晖的话可知现行的高考制度，即使学校减负了，学生为了分数而学习的方式很难改变；除非让大学录取制度更加灵活才更有意义；故选B。

【4】最佳标题。本篇由浙江发布的学生减负草案谈到当前教育制度下，高考的制度不变，学生不可能因为学校减负而减少学习；故选D。
