Home Schooling

All children in the United States have to receive an education, but the law does not say they have to be educated at school. A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school,46There are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the United States today. Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values; others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their children by teaching them at home.47David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at home. Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in school.48For example, when there is heavy snowfall on a winter day, it maystart a discussion or reading about climate, snow removal (去除) equipment, Alaska, polai bears (北极熊) ,and winter tourism.A spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program49

Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools, but critics say that home-schooled are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing with other people in adult life.50However, most parents don&39;t have the time or the desire to teach their children at home, so schools will continue to be where most children get their formal education.

请在第__（46）__处填上正确答案。查看材料

A.Interestingly， results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in reading and math.

B.Critics also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.

C.Learning starts with the children"s interests and questions.

D.Children who are educated at home are known as "home-schoolers."

E..In some countries， however， children are educated by their parents.

F.If the Brazilian rain forests are on the TV news.it could be a perfect time to talk about how rain forestsinfluence the climate， and how deserts are formed.

根据下面资料，回答题

A

Gianluca Tramcere， Silica Systems An outsourced IT service is never a fully independent entity. It is tied to the home company"s previous and continuing systems of working. But despite the added responsibility of managing new ways of working， many businesses ignore the integration process. They fail to establish contracts that define the ways in which the two companies will work alongside one another， and focus solely on the technological aspects of service delivery.

B

Kevin Rayner， Domola Businesses need to build integration competency centers dedicated to managing the integration effort. It is critical to have an individual in charge to check that the external and internal business operations work together. Although companies often think of outsourcing as a way of getting rid of people and assets， they need to remember that， at the same time， outsourcing involves gaining people. Because there is a new operation being carried out in a different way outside of the home business， this creates a training element.

C

Clayton Locke， Digital Solutions Communication is the key to success， and outsourcing to other regions or countries can lead to a range of problems. For any such initiative， it is necessary to create a team where there is good， open communication and a clear understanding of objectives and incentives. Bringing people to the home location from the outsourced centre is necessary， since it can aid understanding of the complexities of the existing system. To integrate efficiently， outsourcing personnel have to talk to the home company"s executives and users to understand their experiences.

D

Kim Noon， J G Tech One way to avoid the difficulties of integration is to create a joint venture company with the outsourcer. Thus， a company can swap its assets for a share of the profits. Yet joint ventures bring potential troubles and companies should be careful not to lose sight of the original rationale for outsourcing: to gain cost efficiencies and quality of service in an area that for some reason could not be carried out entirely in-house. The complexities and costs of a joint venture initiative should not be underestimated.

the need to teach skills to employees working on the outsourced process

回答题。

Life at Home in the Year 2040

Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room？ In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog! ) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.

The sensors will work through the central computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card--the one you use for shopping--maybe using a number known only to you.

It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.

The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 "entertainment" will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching.

The author intends to tell us that__________ 查看材料

A.in 2040 we will live without the lights and heaters

B.in 2040 we will use much more lights and heaters

C.in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automatically

D.in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heaters

根据材料，回答题。

The Development of American Postal System

In the early days of the United States， postal charges were paid by the recipient and chargesvaried with the distance carried. In 1825， the United States Congress permitted local postmastersto give letters to mail carriers for home delivery， but these carriers received no government salary and their entire compensation depended on what they were paid by the recipients of individual letters. In 1847， the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp，which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to pi"epay. Besides， the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address. In Philadelphia， for example， with a population of 150，000， people still had to go to the post office to get their mail. The confusion and congestion of individual citizens looking for their letters was itself enough to discourage use of the mail. It is no wonder that， during the years of these cumbersome arrangements， private letter-carrying and express businesses developed. Although their activities were only semi-legal， they thrived and actually advertised that between Boston and Philadelphia they Were half-day speedier than the government mail.

The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle efficiently even the business it had. Finally， in 1863， Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from the post offices to private addresses should receive a government salary，and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery. But this delivery service was at first confined to cities， and free home delivery became a sing of urbanization. In 1890， of the 75 million people in the United States， fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors. The rest; nearly three quarters of the population， still received no mail unless they went to their post OffiCe.

What is the main idea of the passage？查看材料

A.The development of a government postal system.

B.The increasing use of private mail services.

C.The history of postal stamps.

D.The comparison of urban and rural postal services.

阅读材料，回答题：

Do bring about greater competition

About eight million school-age children are home alone after school. These are the hourswhen the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment with alco-hol, tobacco, and drugs. Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or twountil aparent comes home, and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk ofpoor grades and risky behaviors.

Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors amongyouths. One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less vio-lence even in poor neighB．orhoods.

After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities tochildren and youths during their out-of-school time. In addition to helping youths make use of af-ter-school hours, after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relation-ships with adults. Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults,as well as good use of time, are very important for healthy development in youth.

After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends&39; houses and playb．asketd．all when a parent or other responsible adult is at home. The programs can also be helpfulfor formal after-school activities, including" drop-in" programs that are provided B．y organizations.Despite the benefits of after-school programs, there are many reasons why some parents do notuse them. Programs may be too expensive, of poor quality, or hard to join. Some older children andyoung teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care. Parents may feeluncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the tradition-al child care years. However, research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protectingmiddle school and high school youths from risk and harm.

Which of the following is abenefit of after-school programs？查看材料

A.They help to avoid crime and violence during that time

B.They help youths do things on their own during after-school hours

C.They help teens develop caring relationships with classmates

D.They help to reduce risky behaviors among youths
