3.Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it1).

    Children for whom school has no point
    Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
    Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
    In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
    Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
    Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.

    The Home Office__.

    A.has given powers to the police to pick up parents
    B.will give money to parents to send children to school
    C.will go to the family and persuade parents and their children
    D.will punish parents who fail to send their children to school

    答案：D
    解析：

    In one sense,an allowance is a child's share of the family income.It can be a good experience that parents can provide for their children.The amount should be what the family can afford.It should be given to the youngsters to do with as they please,but not be used as a tool to win the youngsters' good behaviors.
    An allowance is not a bribe.It should be thought of as a learning tool,giving the youngsters firsthand experience in learning how to spend money. It can teach them how to get the best value for what they buy,helping them use their skills in arithmetic.
    Many youngsters make mistakes and buy unwisely at first. Some rush out to spend all their money the moment they get it.They forget that once it is spent,there will be no more for several days.From such haste,youngsters can learn how to choose wisely and spend carefully.
    Parents need to know when to begin to give an allowance and how much to give.When a youngster starts school,he/she may want it,because his/her friends receive one.A good time for considering it may be when a youngster makes daily requests for ice cream or candy.This will help him/her to see the value of money.
    At first a youngster may receive only half an allowance but get it twice a week.This would help someone find a full week too long. She will soon figure out that she can have two candy bars this week,or save for two weeks to buy a toy,learning that she cannot have them both.
    A wise parent won't control the child's buying. By making her own mistakes with her own money,the child is more apt to learn from her mistakes.An allowance should not be taken away as punishment for bad behavior,nor as pay for doing household chores（杂务）.
    A youngster should be encouraged to be generous,helping her see that money isn't everything. No amount of money can buy friendship.Things such as love and respect do not have a price tag.

    What is a sign that patents should begin to give their children an allowance?

    问答题
    练习1　　Parents in China are always trying to help their children, even to make the most important decision for them, regardless of what the children really want, because parents believe it’s all for the benefit of their children. This has led to the result that the children’s growth and education tend to give way to their parents’ wishes. Once the parents decide to sign up an after school class for their children in order to increase their chance of being admitted to a good school, they will stick on their decision, even their children have no interest in it at all. In America, however, parents tend to respect their children, especially when making decisions. Perhaps it is commendable that Chinese parents lay much importance on education, but Chinese parents still need to keep the balance between the parents and children in the perspective of education as the American parents do.

    正确答案： 在中国,父母总是试图帮助他们的孩子,甚至为他们做重要的决定,而不管孩子想要什么,因为父母相信这样做是为了孩子好。结果,孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的愿望。一旦父母决定为他们的孩子报名参加一个课外班,以增加他们被好学校录取的机会,他们会坚持自己的决定,即使他们的孩子根本不感兴趣。然而在美国,父母往往尊重孩子的意见,尤其是在做决定的时候。也许中国父母非常重视教育是值得称赞的。但是,他们应该向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与孩子之间的关系。
    解析：
    本题考查的翻译要点有：①regardless of，即不管某种情况；②for the benefit of sb意为“为了某人好”；③give way to表示“屈从于”；④lay much importance on意为“非常重视”；⑤keep the balance between…and…意为“保持……与……之间的平衡”；⑥in the perspective of表示“在……方面，涉及……”。

  • 第13题：

    In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family is becoming smaller. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living.

    Generally children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents are usually responsible for all the expenses. And families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break-up of the family appears when the parents' divorce.

    A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Children grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved between their parents. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship.

    The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs show that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining(降低). Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.

    Teaching Children to Spend Pocket Money Wisely School-going children need pocket money for food, stationery and bus fares. Parents give pocket money to their children in different ways. Some give a lump sum at the beginning of a month or a week. ____1____ The way in which pocket money is given affects how money is spent or saved. On the other hand, the children's spending habits may affect how pocket money is given. Pocket money given on a daily basis is sometimes termed as "food money". ____2____ They learn how to manage small sums of money. As the money is limited, they have to control their spending. Some parents choose this method of allocating pocket money in order to prevent their children from overspending, hoping that in time they can be trusted with larger sums of money. ____3____. Giving pocket money on a daily basis places responsibilities of budgeting on the parents, instead of the child. The child may spend every single cent of the daily pocket money by overindulging in junk food, as they know they will get another sum of money the next day. This results in children being short-sighted in their spending. ____4____ They may develop the mentality that money is meant to be spent. Others spend more than they are given. They borrow from their siblings or their classmates when they feel like indulging themselves. Then they may ask for money to pay off their debts. This habit of borrowing causes them to depend on others to solve their problems. ____5____. ____1____内应选（）
    A

    There is no better way to teach children to manage money than to start with their pocket money.

    B

    The thought of saving money never crossed their minds.

    C

    Children usually use the pocket money to buy food during recess and also at lunch hour if they have school activities in the afternoon.

    D

    Others prefer to give pocket money on a daily basis.

    E

    Parents who earn daily wages may also opt for this due to financial constraints.

    F

    In such instances, the purpose of rationing is defeated.


    正确答案： D
    解析： 前两句讲每个家长发放零用钱的方法不同。有的（some）是在月初或每周一发给孩子。很显然，下面作者会提到其他人的发放方法。选项D中的others和上句的some相对应。答案为D。

    Practice 2　　Private school does not mean better. But it does mean expensive. Public schools in the US are paid for by money from everyone; private schools are not. Parents who send their children to private schools must pay to do so.　　Parents may have enough money to pay for private schools. But these schools do not have to accept their children. Most private schools accept only children who are already doing well in school and are able to work quietly, Some take only boys or only girls. Classes are often quieter and less crowded than classes in public schools. This gives children a chance to learn more of what their teachers are trying to teach them.　　Public schools do not teach religion. So some parents choose private religious schools for their children. These schools each belong to a church. 6 They give lessons about that religion. They give lessons in all the usual school subjects as well.　　Children at many private schools wear special school uniforms, all exactly the same. At public schools, students wear what they want. They often dress in bright colors and tennis shoes. They sometimes invent new and wonderful fashions.

    正确答案： 【参考译文】
    私立学校并不一定比公立学校好,但上私立学校肯定比上公立学校贵。公立学校的办学经费用的是每一个公民纳税的钱,而私立学校却不是这样。家长如果想把自己的孩子送到私立学校去念书,他们就得自己付钱。
    即使家长有钱付学费,私立学校也不一定非得把孩子收下来。大部分的私立学校一般都只收学习成绩较好而又遵守纪律的学生。有的私立学校只收男生,而有的私立学校又只收女生。与公立学校相比,私立学校每个班的人数要少些,学生也能遵守课堂纪律。这样,学生在学校里就能学到更多的知识。
    公立学校不设宗教课程。所以,有些家长就把自己的孩子送到私立的教会学校去上学。这类教会学校一般都属于某个教派,在学校里,他们就给学生上自己教派的宗教课程。当然,其他学校教的所有的课程,教会学校也都得教。
    许多私立学校的学生都得穿式样统一的校服。在公立学校,学生爱穿什么就可穿什么。他们往往穿着艳丽的衣服和网球鞋;有时,学生们也会搞些新花样,很快就成为流行的时装。

    Which is not a reason for children to show love for parents?
    A

    Parents love and take care of children.

    B

    Parents pass away before children grow up.

    C

    Parents give education to children.


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    考 点：细节题。题目问的是“哪一个不是儿女表示对父母爱的原因？”从文章第一段最后两句“They raise their children and educate them to be good people. They give them love and care. ”可以找到选项A和C的内容。而选项B的意思是“父母在儿女长大之前就去世了”，显然这个不是理由。

  • 第23题：

    单选题
    —Some children can’t afford ______ necessary stationery.—Let’s donate our pocket money to them.
    A

    buy

    B

    buying

    C

    to buy

    D

    be bought


    正确答案： A
    解析：
    句意：—一些孩子买不起必要的文具。—让我们把我们的零花钱捐给他们吧。本题考查非谓语动词的用法。afford to do sth.是固定搭配，表示“负担得起做某事”，故C项符合题意。

  • 第24题：

    单选题
    The writer seems to hope that ______.
    A

    people will spend more money on the National Lottery

    B

    people will give more money to charity

    C

    most of the lottery money will go to charity

    D

    most of the lottery money will be used for cancer research


    正确答案： A
    解析：
    考查对作者意图的理解。文章一直在说彩票的去处。A项说“人们在国家彩票上投入更多的钱”，明显跟作者的意思相矛盾；B项扭解了作者的意思，作者是在惋惜彩票业的收入不能全用于慈善事业；D项不全面。故选C。
