何凱文每日一句：2017考研英語(yǔ)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(wèn)題

　　參考譯文：與此同時(shí)，這個(gè)政策沒(méi)有解決關(guān)于家庭作業(yè)的棘手的問(wèn)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(xué)業(yè)

　　2) eliminate 去除

　　3) count for 占

　　參考譯文：如果學(xué)區(qū)認(rèn)為家庭作業(yè)對(duì)于學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)不重要，那么學(xué)區(qū)就應(yīng)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(jī)。

　　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(xué)區(qū)就應(yīng)該讓家庭作業(yè)在成績(jī)(的計(jì)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(shí)這項(xiàng)政策也沒(méi)有做任何事情來(lái)確保給學(xué)生布置的家庭作業(yè)是有用的(meaningful)，是適合他們年紀(jì)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(xiàng)政策也沒(méi)有做任何事情來(lái)確保老師們不會(huì)布置過(guò)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(huì)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(shuō)：無(wú)法確保老師不會(huì)布置過(guò)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(xiàng)里，這樣更容易理解：

　　關(guān)于家庭作業(yè)還沒(méi)有解決的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題是：

　　定位到句：

　　2句和3句講了一個(gè)問(wèn)題;

　　4句講了兩個(gè)問(wèn)題;

　　所以234句都是線(xiàn)索句;

　　( 當(dāng)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(duì)于學(xué)生學(xué)業(yè)來(lái)講不重要…

　　Conversely(相反), if homework matters,

　　如果家庭作業(yè)(對(duì)于學(xué)生學(xué)業(yè))重要…

　　也就是說(shuō)問(wèn)題在于：家庭作業(yè)對(duì)于學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)而言是否重要?

　　[B]whether it counts much in schooling

　　家庭作業(yè)是否在學(xué)校教育中占更大的比重;

　　=家庭作業(yè)對(duì)于學(xué)校教育是否重要

　　Schooling= students’ academic achievement

　　所以B選項(xiàng)是完美替換!

　　錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)一：

　　[D]whether it is important for grades

　　家庭作業(yè)是否對(duì)成績(jī)重要

　　這就是偷換，不是家庭作業(yè)對(duì)于成績(jī)是否重要!

　　而在于家庭作業(yè)對(duì)于孩子學(xué)業(yè)是否重要!

　　成績(jī)?cè)谶@里只是一個(gè)參數(shù)，用來(lái)反應(yīng)家庭作業(yè)對(duì)于學(xué)校教育是否重要的參數(shù);

　　我們不能說(shuō)家庭作業(yè)對(duì)于成績(jī)是否重要。

　　可以排除

　　錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)二：

　　[A]whether it should be eliminated

　　家庭作業(yè)是否應(yīng)該被去除。

　　問(wèn)題不在于家庭作業(yè)是否應(yīng)該被去除，而在于家庭作業(yè)對(duì)于孩子學(xué)業(yè)是否重要!

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

　　可以排除!

　　錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)三：

　　[C] whether it places extra burdens on teachers

　　家庭作業(yè)是否會(huì)給老師增加的額外的負(fù)擔(dān)

　　文中第四句說(shuō)的是：老師是否會(huì)布置過(guò)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(yīng)該是：

　　Whether teachers will assign proper amount of homework.

　　(老師們是否會(huì)布置恰當(dāng)數(shù)量的家庭作業(yè))
