It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate,but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child might be encouraged to learnto read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though,if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are sever over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals.In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the childs own happiness.As regard the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept.If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach(说 教 ), their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves,and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parentsprinciples and theirmorals can be a dangerous disappointment.1.Eagerly watching the childs acquisition of new skillsA.should beB.is universalavoidedamong parentsC.sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD.will make him lose interest in learning new things2.In the process of childrenslearning new skills parentsA.should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the B.should not expect too much of themC.should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving D.should create as many learning opportunities as possible3.The second paragraph mainly tells us thatA. parents should be strict with their childrenB.parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the valueswords they readthem on their ownof the communityC. parental restrictions vary, and are not aloneD.parents vary in their strictness towards4.The underlined wordprecept ”in Para.3A.ideaalways enforced for the benefit of the childrentheir children according to the situation.probably means “考生请注意答案必须写在答题纤上,写在本试题纤上的无效! 第 3 页 , 共 8 页安徽师范大学2020年硕士研究生招生考试初试试题B.punishmentC.behaviourD.instruction5.In moral matters,parents should A.observe the rules themselvesB.be aware of the marked difference between C.forbid things which have no foundation inadults and childrenmoralityD.consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage2Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students.They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year,Rowena will be attending Harvard University. Billy, her younger brother,hopes to go to Cornell University. What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they dont go to school.In fact, theyve never been to schoo.Since kindergarten,theyve studied at home. Neither Rowena nor Bily fels as if theyve missed out on anything by being taught at home.Like many of more than onemillion people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if theyve gotten a good education.The home-schooling trend began in the U.S.in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home.Today,as the home-schooling trend continues to grow, parents are more likely to consider homeschooling as an option because they believe schools dont do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places.But can parents really do a better job?The answer in many cases is yes. In many studies, students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools. Moreimportantly, these students were often more self-directed and have a greater knowledge. “They are very well prepared for academic challenges,”says Patricia dean of admissions at George Mason University.depth of Riordan,theOne such student,Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling.Still,not every student is as successful as Robert.For every home-schooling success story, there are an equal number of failures,”states Henry Lipscomb,an educational researcher.“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.For example,they have fewer chances to interact with others of their own age. Consequently, they sometimes lack the usual social skill.“No考生请注意答案必须写在答题纸上,写在本试题纤上的无效! 第 4 页 , 共 8 页安徽师范大学2020 年硕士研究生招生考试初试试题matter what, though,states Lipscomb,home-schooling is a growing trend.I think well be seeing more and more of this.6.Compared with other students, the most different thing Rowena and Billy do isthatA.they study hardB.they do extremely well on achievement testsC.they never go to schoolD.they feel they have gotten a goodeducation7.At first in the 1980s parents gave home-schooling to children forA. better educationB.religious educationC.safetyD.all the above8.According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?A.Home is a safer place for children.B.
