何凱文每日一句：2017考研英語第181句

　　今天的題目：

　　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. Conversely, 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 that teachers are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.

　　24. As mentioned in Paragraph 4 a key question unanswered about homework

　　is_____.

　　[A] it should be eliminated

　　[B] it counts much in schooling

　　[C] it places extra burdens on teachers

　　[D] it is important for grades

　　題目的解析：

　　1.At the same time, the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework.

　　詞匯突破：thorny questions 棘手的問題

　　參考譯文：與此同時，這個政策沒有解決關(guān)于家庭作業(yè)的棘手的問題。

　　2.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.

　　詞匯突破: 1) academic achievement 學業(yè)

　　2) eliminate 去除

　　3) count for 占

　　參考譯文：如果學區(qū)認為家庭作業(yè)對于學生的學業(yè)不重要，那么學區(qū)就應該減少或者不布置家庭作業(yè)，而不是(布置家庭作業(yè))，卻不算入成績。

　　3. Conversely, if homework matters, it should account for a significant portion of the grade.

　　詞匯突破：1)Conversely 相反

　　參考譯文：相反，如果家庭作業(yè)很重要，那么學區(qū)就應該讓家庭作業(yè)在成績(的計算中)占更大的比例。

　　4.Meanwhile, this policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful or appropriate to their age and the subject, or that teachers are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.

　　句子切分：

　　1)This policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful or appropriate to their age and the subject

　　參考譯文：同時這項政策也沒有做任何事情來確保給學生布置的家庭作業(yè)是有用的(meaningful)，是適合他們年紀和所修科目的。

　　2) (This policy does nothing to ensure) that teachers are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.

　　參考譯文：這項政策也沒有做任何事情來確保老師們不會布置過多的家庭作業(yè)，多到連他們都不愿意檢查和批改。

　　(老師不會布置多到連他們都不愿意檢查和批改的家庭作業(yè)。)

　　解析：也就是說：無法確保老師不會布置過多的家庭作業(yè)。

　　24. As mentioned in Paragraph 4 a key question unanswered about homework is _____.

　　我們把whether放到選項里，這樣更容易理解：

　　關(guān)于家庭作業(yè)還沒有解決的一個關(guān)鍵問題是：

　　定位到句：

　　2句和3句講了一個問題;

　　4句講了兩個問題;

　　所以234句都是線索句;

　　( 當然題干中出現(xiàn)了whether就直接指向了二三句中的if; )

　　(但是第四句中的：this policy does nothing to ensure that 也可以等于if;)

　　首先看一下2句和3句：

　　If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students’ academic

　　achievement,

　　如果家庭作業(yè)對于學生學業(yè)來講不重要…

　　Conversely(相反), if homework matters,

　　如果家庭作業(yè)(對于學生學業(yè))重要…

　　也就是說問題在于：家庭作業(yè)對于學生的學業(yè)而言是否重要?

　　[B]whether it counts much in schooling

　　家庭作業(yè)是否在學校教育中占更大的比重;

　　=家庭作業(yè)對于學校教育是否重要

　　Schooling= students’ academic achievement

　　所以B選項是完美替換!

　　錯誤選項一：

　　[D]whether it is important for grades

　　家庭作業(yè)是否對成績重要

　　這就是偷換，不是家庭作業(yè)對于成績是否重要!

　　而在于家庭作業(yè)對于孩子學業(yè)是否重要!

　　成績在這里只是一個參數(shù)，用來反應家庭作業(yè)對于學校教育是否重要的參數(shù);

　　我們不能說家庭作業(yè)對于成績是否重要。

　　可以排除

　　錯誤選項二：

　　[A]whether it should be eliminated

　　家庭作業(yè)是否應該被去除。

　　問題不在于家庭作業(yè)是否應該被去除，而在于家庭作業(yè)對于孩子學業(yè)是否重要!

　　是否應該被去除家庭作業(yè)是反應家庭作業(yè)是否重要的一個參數(shù)。

　　可以排除!

　　錯誤選項三：

　　[C] whether it places extra burdens on teachers

　　家庭作業(yè)是否會給老師增加的額外的負擔

　　文中第四句說的是：老師是否會布置過多的家庭作業(yè);

　　所以是偷換!可以排除!

　　如果要做正確的同意替換應該是：

　　Whether teachers will assign proper amount of homework.

　　(老師們是否會布置恰當數(shù)量的家庭作業(yè))
