1、Childrenwholearnbestfromhands-onparticipationcanbeclassifiedaskinesthetic

learners.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F

知識點(diǎn)解析：題目中的關(guān)鍵詞hands-on,kines由ctic在文中較為突出，可以直接定

位在F段。該段主要講因材施教的重要性，舉例表明小孩獲得最佳學(xué)習(xí)效果的方

式各有不同，這包括視覺學(xué)習(xí)、聽覺學(xué)習(xí)以及題1=1中提到的動手學(xué)習(xí)。

2、Seeingtheirparentsstrugglewithsomethingnewcanmakethechildrenunderstand

thatlearningdoesn'talwaysgosmoothly.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：I'

知識點(diǎn)解析：題目后半部分learningdoesn'talwaysgosmoothly與I段的第1句吻

合，屬于第四課“讓他們看見你學(xué)習(xí)”所表現(xiàn)的第二個方面：讓孩子看到父母艱難學(xué)

習(xí)新東西是很重要的，因此答案選I。

3、Matthewhaddifficultywithmathwhenthemathtextwastoocolorful.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：G

知識點(diǎn)解析：Matthew是作為例子來說明第三課“因材施救”的，文中只有G段提到

Matthew這個人物。題目后半部分與G段第8句…amathtextthatwastoocolorful

吻合。而該段第5句又表明換掉了花哨的數(shù)學(xué)課本而改用循序漸進(jìn)的課本時，

Matthew的數(shù)學(xué)測試"withnotrouble",這也可以從側(cè)面反映出題H前半部分提到的

haddifficulty,故選G。

4、Grahamthinksthathisacademicsuccessisduetothefoundationlaidbyhisparents.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)Graham,直接定位A段。該段以Graham為例引出

homeschooling的教學(xué)方法。本段最后一句的主語he即為Graham,意為“他將學(xué)業(yè)

上的成功歸咎于其父母給其打下的基礎(chǔ)”，題目信息與此相符，故選A。

5、Parentalengagementplaysanimportantroleinchildren'sacademicsuccess.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：K、

知識點(diǎn)解析：題H談到Parentalengagement,文中第5課與此相關(guān)，故可以將范圍

縮小至J段和K段。K段最后一句的Parenlalinvolvement對應(yīng)題目中的主語，而其

中的isoneof...importantfactors則與題目的playsanimportantrolein同義,故可知

題1=1信息來源于此。

6、Asfortakinguphomeschooling,itissuggestedthattheresourcesandchancesfor

learningshouldbeprovidedinhomeschooling.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題目的關(guān)鍵詞resourcesandchances可以快速定位到B段第3句

末尾，原文的resourcesandopportunities與之同義，題干的beprovided則對應(yīng)原文

的areavailableto,故選B。

7、Whileprovidinghomeschoolingforchildren,parentscanalsocontinuetheirown

education.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：H

知識點(diǎn)解析：跟“家庭教育''有關(guān)的信息主要出現(xiàn)在B段和H段。B段是大致介紹

家庭教育的理念。而H段第1句則明確表明它的優(yōu)點(diǎn)是——你能讓你繼續(xù)受教育

(continueyourowneducation)的同時，也會讓孩子注意到你對學(xué)習(xí)的熱愛。題目所

述與此相同，故選H。

8、AccordingtoRozon'ssuggestion,readingafewpagesaheadofyourchildren's

textbooksenablesyoutohelpthemwithproblemsbetter.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J-

知識點(diǎn)解析：Rozon主要出現(xiàn)在H段以及第五課的J、K段?？焖贋g覽這幾段，可

以在J段最后一句找到邈目中提到的afewpages和help...withproblems等詞，由此

可知，題目信息來自于J段。

9、Gettingathoroughknowledgeofaparticularsubjectcanbringalotofbenefitsto

yourchild.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E

知識點(diǎn)解析：題目關(guān)鍵詞athoroughknowledge屬于第二課“消除學(xué)習(xí)的限制”里談

到的內(nèi)容：對于小孩子的好處不僅僅是全面了解一門科目，深入學(xué)習(xí)一門課程也培

養(yǎng)了孩子的獨(dú)立研究技能和對學(xué)習(xí)的熱愛。題目信息與此相符，故選E。

10、JuliaGoforthbelievesthatlearningneverends,sosheisgoingtolearnbellydance

andplaytheviolinthisyear.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：I

知識點(diǎn)解析：文中只有一個地方提到bellydance,故要找出本題的出處并不難。I

段最后1句表示學(xué)跳肚皮舞和彈小提琴在我今年要學(xué)習(xí)的目錄之中，這里的my指

的就是上句提到的Goforth,故選Io
