rdifferentteachingsystemsC、homeschoolingprovidesanewvarietyofeducationforchildrenD、publicschoolshavesomanyproblemsthattheycannotofferpropereducationforallchildren標準答案：A知識點解析：第3段第1句提到：公立學校官員意識到如果他們繼續(xù)對家庭教育采取敵對態(tài)度，他們將一無所獲，因此，他們的態(tài)度柔和了一點。A與文中內容一致；B、C、D均與文中所陳述之意明顯相悖。8、Home-schooladvocatesareoftheopinionthat_____.A、thingsinpublicschoolsarenotsobadashasoftenbeensaidB、theirtoleranceofpubliceducationwillattractmorekidstopublicschoolsC、homeschoolingissuperiorand,therefore,theywillnoteasilygiveinD、theirincreasedcooperationwithpublicschoolwillbringabouttheimprovementofpubliceducation標準答案：C知識點解析：根據(jù)文章第5段第2句和第6段第1句：homeschoolers認為他們的教學方式是最好的，而且他們希望能繼續(xù)保持這種方法，C與文中內容一致。A、D在文中沒有提及；B與文中信息相悖。9、Mosthomeschoolers’oppositiontopubliceducationstemsfromtheir_____.A、respectfortheinterestsofindividualsB、worryabouttheinefficiencyofpublicschoolsC、concernwiththecostinvolvedD、devotiontoreligion標準答案：D知識點解析：第6段第2句和第7段提到，homeschoolers之所以堅持自己的教育方法，有85%是由于宗教的原因，他們希望孩子們學習嚴格的宗教教義和保守的政治和社會觀點，D正確。A、B是部分homeschoolers的觀點；C在文中沒有提及。10、AccordingtoVanGalensomehomeschoolersbelievethat_____.A、publicschoolstakeupaherdlikeapproachtoteachingchildrenB、teachersinpublicschoolarenotasresponsibleastheyshouldbeC、publicschoolscannotprovideaneducationthatisgoodenoughfortheirchildrenD、publicschoolsarethesourceofbureaucracyandinefficiencyinmodernsociety標準答案：C知識點解析：最后一段提到：有些homeschoolers并不是認為“學校教了一些異端邪說，而是認為學校里教什么東西都不得其法”，因此C正確。A顯然不是Galen的說法，與題意不符；B文中沒有提到；D歪曲了Galen的意思。ThreeEnglishdictionariespublishedrecentlyalllayclaimtopossessinga"new"feature.TheBBCEnglishDictionarycontainsbackgroundinformationon1,000peopleandplacesprominentinthenewssince1988;theOxfordAdvancedLearner'sDictionary:Encyclopedic(百科全書的)EditionistheOALDplusencyclopedicentries;theLongmanDictionaryofEnglishLanguageandCultureistheLDOCEplusculturalinformation.Thekeyfactisthatallthreedictionariescanbeseentohaveadistinctly"cultural"aswellaslanguagelearningcontent.Thatbeingsaid,thewayinwhichtheyapproachtheculturalelementisnotidentical,makingdirectcomparisonsbetweenthethreedifficult.Whilethereissomecommongroundbetweentheencyclopedic,culturalentriesfortheOxfordandLongmandictionaries,thereisacleardifference.OxfordlaysclaimtobeingencyclopediconcontentwhereasLongmandistinctlyconcentratesonthelanguageandcultureoftheEnglish-speakingworld.TheOxforddictionarycanthereforestandmorevigorousscrutinyforculturalbiasthantheLongmanpublicationbecausethelatterdoesnothesitateaboutviewingtherestoftheworldfromtheculturalperspectivesoftheEnglish-speakingworld.TheculturalobjectivesoftheBBCdictionaryareinturnmoredistinctstill.Basedonananalysisofover70millionwordsrecordedfromtheBBCWorldServiceandNationalPublicRadioofWashingtonoveraperiodoffouryears,their1,000briefencyclopedicentriesarebasedonpeopleandplacesthathavefeaturedinthenewsrecently.TheintendedusertheyhaveinmindisaregularlistenertotheWorldServicewhowillhaveareasonablestandardofEnglishandadevelopedskillinlisteningcomprehension.Inreality,though,theBBCdictionarywillbepurchasedbyafarwiderrangeoflanguagelearners,aswilltheothertwodictionaries.Wewillbefacedwithasituationwheremanyoftheusersofthesedictionarieswillattheveryleasthavedistinctsocio-culturalperspectivesandmayhaveworldviewswhicharetotallyopposedandevenhostiletothoseoftheWest.Advancedlearnersfromthiskindofbackgroundwillnotonlyevaluateadictionaryonhowuser-friendlyitisbutwillalsohavedefiniteviewsab
