Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1Homeworkhas never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, b

11、ut in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on his educational ritual. Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced co

12、urses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student s academic grade。This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homesmight have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homeworkshould be assig

13、ned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children 。District administr

14、ators say that homework will still be a pat of schooling: teachers are allowed to assign as muchof it as they want. But with homeworkcounting for no more than 10%of their grades, students can easily skip half their homeworkand see vey little difference on their report cards. Some students might do w

15、ell on state tests without completing their homework, but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework? It is quite possible that the homework helped. Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students, the policy imposes a flat, across-t

16、he-board rule。At the sametime, the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its studentsacademic achievement, it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments, not makethem count for almost nothing. Conversely, if ho

17、meworkdoes nothing to ensure that the homework students are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct 。The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board, which is responsible for setting educational policy, looks into the matter and conducts public hearings. It is

18、not too late for L.A.

It is not t

22、hat pink is intrinsically bad, but it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow and, though it maycelebrate girlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls identity to app earance.Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as evidence

23、of innocence. Looking around, I despaired at thesingular lack of imagination about girlslives and interestsGirls attraction to pink mayseemunavoidable, somehowencoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not. Children were not colour-coded at

24、all until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. What s more, bothboys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses.When nursery colours were intro

25、duced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolised femininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became

26、 a dominant children s marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seeminherently attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years。I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perceptionofwhat is natura

27、l to kins, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take the toddler. I assumedthat phase was something experts developed after years of research into children s behaviour: wrong. Turns out, acdordingto Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it was popularised as

28、 a marketing trick by clothing manufacrurers in the 1930s。Trade publications counselled department stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a “third stepping stone between infant wear and older kids clothes. Tt was only after “toddler became a common shoppers term that it evolved

29、into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults,into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits.And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences -or invent them where they did not previously exist。26 .By saying it is.the

34、 2010.a federal judge shook Americas biotech industry toit score. Companies had won patents for isolated DNAfor decades - by 2005 some20%of humangenes were parented. But in March 2010 a judge ruled that genes were unpatentable. Executives were violently agitated. The Biotechnology Industry Organisat

35、ion(BIO), a tradegroup, assured membersthat this was just a preliminary step in a longer battle。On July 29 th they were relieved, at least temporarily. A federal appeals court over turned the prior decision, ruling that Myriad Genetics could indeed hold patents to two gens s tha the lp forecast a wo

The chief executive of Myriad, a companyin Utah,said the ruling was abless ing to firms and patients alike 。But as companies continue their attempts at personalised medicine, the court swill remain rather busy. The Myriad case itself is probably not over Critics make thre

37、e main arguments against gene patents: a gene is a product of nature, so it may not be patented; gene patents suppressin novation rather than reward it; and patents monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriads. A growing number seem to agree. Last year a federal task- force urged refo

38、rm for patentsrelated to genetic tests. In October the Department of Justice filed a brief in the Myriad case, arguing that an isolated DNA molecule“is no less a product ofnature. than are cotton fibres that have been separated from cotton seeds。Despite the appeals courts decision, big questions rem

45、pportiveC.scornful.objectiveText 4The great recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably beginning. Before it ends,it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. And ultimately, it is likely to reshape our politics,our culture, and the cha

46、racter of our society for years。No one tries harder than the jobless to find silver linings in this national economic disaster. Many said that unemployment, while extremely painful, hadimproved them in someways; they had becomeless materialistic and more financially prudent; they were more aware of

47、the struggles of others. In limited respects, perhaps the recession will leave society better off. At the very least, it has awoken us from our national fever dream of easy riches and bigger houses, and put a necessary end to an era of reckless personal spending。But for the most part, these benefits

48、 seem thin, uncertain, and far off. In The Moral Consequencesof Economic Growth, the economic historian Benjamin Friedman argues that both inside and outside the U.S. ,lengthy periods of economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive, and have us

49、ually stopped or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms.Anti-immigrant sentiment typically increases, as does conflict between races and classes。Income inequality usually falls during a recession, but it has not shrunk in this one,. Indeed, this period of economic weakness may reinforce class d

50、ivides, and decrease opportunities to cross them- especially for young people. The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist in Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly qu

51、ickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind 。In the internet age, it is particularly easy to see the resentment that has always been hidden winthin American society. More difficult, in the moment , is discern

52、ing precisely how these lean times are affecting society s chaacter. Inmany respects, the U.S. was more socially tolerant entering this resession than at any time in its history, and a variety of national polls on social conflict since then have shown mixed results. We will have to wait and see exac
