Do Kids Need Homework?

School is a big part of life, not just for kids but for their families. There are many reports and discussions about what’s best for students. Everyone has their own opinions. And they don’t always agree.
Do kids need homework? It depends. Some readers from a famous magazine, think that the extra（额外的）work reviews what they have learnt in class. And it also helps teachers find where students need more help. Others say homework adds to students’ stress and takes time away from exercise or learning something new. In order to know what kind of homework kids should do and how much kids need, the magazine interviewed several kids.
Karen, 9
Kids need homework. When they learn something new in school, reviewing it at home helps them remember it. Our homework gives our teachers valuable information. It tells them how much students are paying attention in class and who needs extra help.
Michael, 9
In my opinion, giving students homework is a bad idea. After school kids need experiences that build a healthy mind and body. Homework is not supposed to stress kids out. When there is too much homework, students do poorly in homework. In fact, doing homework poorly is worse than doing no homework. As long as students are working hard in class, it’s best not to give them extra work.
Robert, 8
Kids need homework. But that depends. Middle and high school students can do more homework. At my school, primary students get homework, but not too much. My teacher might ask us to learn spelling words at home, and each week we’ll be given a test.
Susan, 11
Kids don’t need homework. They’re learning for six hours a day at school. Adding another hour of work for kids to do at home is just having them repeat what they’ve been doing all day. Besides, homework takes time away from activities like team sports. These are just as important as schoolwork, because they keep kids active.
6. What did the magazine do about homework?
A. It had a discussion. B. It did a report. C. It made an interview.
7. Who supports the idea of giving students homework?
A. Karen. B. Michael. C. Susan.
8. What will happen when homework is too much according to Paragraph 4?
A. Students will do no homework.
B. Students will do homework poorly.
C. Students will build a healthy mind and body.
9. What is Robert’s opinion about homework?
A. Primary students don’t need to do homework.
B. High school students can do more homework.
C. Homework just repeats what is learned in class.
10. What does “These” refer to（指代）in the last paragrapgh?
A. Kids. B. Subjects. C. Activities like team sports.
【答案】6. C 7. A 8. B 9. B 10. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是关于“家庭作业”这个话题，对几位学生的采访。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据“ In order to know what kind of homework kids should do and how much kids need, the magazine interviewed several kids.”可知关于“家庭作业”，杂志做了一个采访。故选C。

On June 3, the United States Fish & Wildlife Service（USFWS）announced that it would protect the tricolored bats. The animal would be listed under the Endangered Species Act. This follows a similar announcement, made in March, to protect the endangered northern long-eared bats. The two kinds of bats are in danger, mainly because of an illness called white-nose syndrome（综合症）.
“Bats play such an important role in keeping a healthy ecosystem.” USFWS director Martha Williams said. “But white-nose syndrome is destroying bats.” she added.
White-nose syndrome is caused by a fungus（真菌）. It is known to influence only bats, showing up on the animal’s nose and wings. The fungus grows in places that are cold, dark, and wet, like caves. As it hurts a bat’s skin, the animal’s behavior starts to change. The bat becomes more active than normal, wasting the energy it needs to live.
Worldwide, there are more than 1, 400 kinds of bats. Most bats are insectivores, which means they eat insects. In a single night, bats can eat insects of “up to half their weight.” This is good news for farmers, since bats eat insects that harm crops. According to the USFWS, the animals help U.S. farmers save more than $3 billion a year in insect control.
Nowadays there is no treatment for white-nose syndrome. But scientists are developing ways to help bats. A 2018 study found that a special light can kill the fungus. Researchers are also testing a fungus-fighting thing that can be placed around areas where bats live. And they’re working on a vaccine（疫苗）. Local villagers also provide suggestions. One example: set bat boxes. The USFWS says it will announce a decision about how to list the tricolored bats by late 2023. A decision about the northern long-eared bats is expected next month.
11. Why are the tricolored bats and the long-eared bats in danger?
A. Because of a special illness.
B. Because of their food.
C. Because of their living conditions.
12. How does the fungus kill a bat at last?
A. By changing a bat’s behavior.
B. By hurting a bat’s skin.
C. By wasting the energy a bat needs to live.
13. Why are bats helpful to farmers in the USA?
A. Because bats eat insects that harm crops.
B. Because there are more than 1, 400 kinds of bats.
C. Because bats cost them more than $3 billion each year.
14. What are the researchers doing to fight against the white-nose syndrome?
A. They are testing a special light.
B. They are working on a vaccine.
C. They are setting bat boxes.
15. What is the article mainly about?
A. A white-nose syndrome. B. Kinds of bats. C. Bats in danger.
【答案】11. A 12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了长耳蝙蝠和三色蝙蝠被列为濒危动物名单，且说明了蝙蝠在保持生态系统健康方面发挥的重要作用。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The two kinds of bats are in danger, mainly because of an illness called white-nose syndrome.”可知是因为一种名为白鼻综合征的疾病，所以三色蝙蝠和长耳蝙蝠处于危险中。故选A。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据“As it hurts a bat’s skin, the animal’s behavior starts to change. The bat becomes more active than normal, wasting the energy it needs to live.”可知真菌是通过伤害蝙蝠的皮肤，让蝙蝠变得比平时更活跃，浪费了它生存所需的能量。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In a single night, bats can eat insects of ‘up to half their weight.’ This is good news for farmers, since bats eat insects that harm crops.”可知因为蝙蝠可以吃危害庄稼的昆虫。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据“And they’re working on a vaccine.”可知研究人员正在研制疫苗来对抗白鼻综合症。故选B。

Have you ever noticed plastic waste everywhere in your community? Dr. Aboubacar Kampo has. He was living in Côte d’Ivoire, a country on the coast of West Africa, where plastic is a big environmental problem, compared with water and air pollution. Côte d’Ivoire’s biggest city, Abidjan, produces more than 300 tons of plastic rubbish a day, and only about 5% is recycled. “How can we turn plastic into something useful?” Kampo wondered.
So Kampo, who works for UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, googled, researched, and then noticed a company in Colombia, a country in South America. Plastic pollution is a problem there, too. Conceptos Plásticos, the Colombian company that Kampo read about online, recycles plastic waste and turns it into big, Lego-like bricks（砖）for building schools and houses.
Next, Kampo went to Colombia to learn about the company in person. He toured schools that were built with its bricks and the factory where the bricks were made. “Conceptos Plásticos gave us a solution.” Kampo said. He thought it could help with more than just the plastic problem. It could also improve children’s education.
According to UNICEF, 1.6 million children in Côte d’Ivoire don’t go to school. One reason is that there aren’t enough classrooms. For kids who do go to school, classrooms are often very crowded. Kids often sit on the floor and can’t stand up because there isn’t room to move around.
In 2018, UNICEF built its first classrooms in Abidjan, using bricks produced in Colombia by Conceptos Plásticos. Right away, the local education improved a lot. People couldn’t believe it at the beginning, that the classrooms were made of plastic. But now all the parents want their children in these classrooms. By the end of 2021 UNICEF had built 528 classrooms in Côte d’Ivoire. The new Conceptos Plásticos factory in Abidjan will soon be producing bricks from rubbish collected in children’s playgrounds and on the beach.
The environmental influence is huge. Kampo says it takes about five and a half tons of plastic and just a few weeks to build a classroom. Unlike traditional building, no cement（水泥）is needed. “It’s just a hammer（锤子）and those bricks.” he added.
16. What is the main problem Côte d’Ivoire faces?
A. Plastic pollution. B. Water pollution. C. Air pollution.
17. What can we learn about Conceptos Plásticos?
A. It’s a company in West Africa.
B. It recycles plastic waste online.
C. It offers bricks for building the classrooms in Abidjan.
18. Which of the following best describes the parents about their kids’ future in Paragraph 5?
A. Doubtful. B. Excited. C. Surprised.
19. How many tons of plastic are needed to build a classroom?
A. About 5.5 tons. B. Only about 15 tons. C. More than 300 tons.
20. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Building Green
B. An introduction to Kampo
C. Côte d’Ivoire’s Environmental Problem
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. B 19. A 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了哥伦比亚公司Conceptos Plásticos回收塑料垃圾并将其制成砖块，用于建造学校和房屋的故事。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据“He was living in Côte d’Ivoire, a country on the coast of West Africa, where plastic is a big environmental problem, compared with water and air pollution.”可知Côte d’Ivoire主要面对的是塑料污染，故选A。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In 2018, UNICEF built its first classrooms in Abidjan, using bricks produced in Colombia by Conceptos Plásticos.”可知它为在Abidjan建造教室提供砖块。故选C。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据“People couldn’t believe it at the beginning, that the classrooms were made of plastic. But now all the parents want their children in these classrooms.”（一开始人们不敢相信教室是用塑料做的。但是现在所有的父母都希望他们的孩子在这些教室里。）可知父母对孩子的未来很激动，期待他们都在这样的教室里，故选B。

【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Kampo says it takes about five and a half tons of plastic and just a few weeks to build a classroom.”可知建造一间教室需要5.5吨塑料，故选A。
【20题详解】
最佳标题题。根据全文可知，本文主要介绍了哥伦比亚公司Conceptos Plásticos回收塑料垃圾并将其制成砖块，用于建造学校和房屋的故事，所以A选项最符合，故选A。

Like many other foreigners, Rosalind Oliver’s first touch of Chinese Tai Chi came from popular kung fu movies. However, she has become a Tai Chi master herself, teaching it to both Chinese and foreigners.
Oliver’s journey with Tai Chi began in her early 20s, when her backache was always troubling her and she was turning to an exercise. Then she discovered advertisement classes about Tai Chi by accident and decided to try the “mysterious” eastern sport. Right away Oliver fell in love with the beautiful movement of Tai Chi. To her joy, she found that her back pains disappeared after years of practice.
Oliver later met her late husband, who was also her Tai Chi teacher. In the early 1990s, the couple opened their own Tai Chi school in the UK. To further understand Tai Chi, they decided to start a journey to China. However, three years after moving to Shanghai in 2000, her husband died, leaving her alone to work on Tai Chi.
The 58-year-old British woman recalled that it was a hard time for her. However, she was thankful to Chinese friends in Shanghai who supported her through the painful process. “They didn't treat me like a foreigner, but rather like a friend.” Oliver said.
In 2005, Oliver set up the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people to get a better understanding of Chinese culture such as traditional Chinese medicine and Peking Opera.
Besides her Tai Chi classes, Oliver now teaches English at Shanghai University. Oliver expressed her deep love for cultural exchange and hoped to spread her work in this area.
