Question

【题目】Topic: Do you think students should do homework in primary school?

Qu Dongdong, 13

I think there is no need to do homework in primary school. Some research has shown that students' grades do not improve when they have a lot of homework. This means they are w【1】 their time. So why not let students do something they like? They can learn a musical instrument or read books. This at least allows them to master a s【2】 and broaden their horizons（视野）.

Homework puts students under a lot of pressure. It is not good for kids' h【3】. They may easily get sick. Besides, homework often takes up too much of their free time. They don't have enough time to spend with family and playing with friends. When I was growing up, I thought primary school might be the best time to have fun. Also, I think there must be better ways for kids to review their knowledge instead of homework. For example, they can learn t【4】 fun games.

Homework can help us review after a day of learning. We can see whether we have mastered what we learned. To some extent（在某种程度上）, it is hard for kids to make plans. But homework helps them develop good learning h【5】. It will be useful for their future studies, or even their whole lives. Surely, homework does bring some pressure. But students will have to deal with it sooner or later. It encourages them to work harder.

Zhang Yuwenyao, 13

Students have l【6】 self-control（自控力）. Without homework, they will freely play after school. I guess they will never open their books and review what they learned. So it is necessary for them to do homework, o【7】 they won't make any progress. Primary school studies are really important. They lay a foundation for future studies. If kids don't do well, it will have bad influence on their future.

本文是4个中学生就“你认为中学生应该做作业吗？”问题发表的看法。

【1】句意：这意味着他们在浪费时间。

此句时态为一般现在时，该空为动词的现在分词形式。根据Some research has shown that students' grades do not improve when they have a lot of homework.以及首字母可推测这意味着他们在浪费时间。waste表示“浪费”，现在分词为wasting。故答案我wasting。

a后接可数名词单数形式，master a skill表示“掌握技能”。故答案为skill。

【3】句意：它对孩子们的健康不好。

【6】句意：学生们自控力较差。

根据Without homework, they will freely play after school.可知如果没有作业，他们放学后就会自由的玩，可推测他们的自控力较弱。self-control为名词，根据首字母可知用little修饰，表示“很少”，表示否定意义。故答案为little。

【7】句意：对他们来说，做作业是非常有必要的，否则他们将不会取得任何进步。

此空为并列连词，结合前后句意思和首字母可知，此空用or连接，表示“否则”。故答案为or。
