三、答案:GBCDA
解析:①根据上文Homework is made up of out-of-class activities and at-home activities teachers assign to students. It can include practice assignments that emphasize newly acquired skills.可知,家庭作业由课外活动和教师分配给学生的家庭活动组成,它可以包括巩固新获得的技能的实践作业;根据下文Projects that have to be worked on in agreement with schoolwork also form a part of homework.可知,家庭作业也包括与学校作业相关的活动。由此可推断此处也应介绍家庭作业的类型。上文中的assignments可对应到G项中的assignments, G项(它可以是准备作业,使学生为课堂活动做好准备。)符合文意,故选G。
②本句位于段首,有总领全段的作用。后文介绍了家庭作业给学生带来的好处,如锻炼学生管理时间的能力和独立完成任务的能力,因此B项(家庭作业可以在多方面使学生受益。)符合文意。故选B。
③根据后文And those positive remarks can help develop students' confidence and encourage them to keep up with their good work.可知那些积极的评价有助于培养学生的自信心,并鼓励他们继续他们良好的表现。那些积极的评价就是指老师给学生的评价,对应C选项(老师对学生做的作业给出评价。)。下文中remarks对应到C选项中的comments,指老师对学生做的作业给出的评价,上下文连贯通顺,故选C。
④根据本段第一句可知此段讲的是家庭作业使学生从错误中吸取教训并克服缺点。根据前文It provides them with a platform to express what they know or have newly found, and exhibit their talents.可知家庭作业给他们提供了一个平台,表达他们知道或新发现的东西,展示他们的才华。D项与上文都是让学生在犯错中学习的方式。D项中的It also gives与上文中的It provides相呼应,且D项(它也让学生练习他们在学校学到的东西。)与上一句共同构成下文These所指的内容。因此D项符合文意,故选D。
⑤根据上文The amount and difficulty level of homework assignments should match the ages and abilities of students.可知家庭作业的数量和困难度应该与学生的年龄和能力相匹配,故可推测下文是指如果不匹配,家庭作业就会成为惩罚。故选A。
四、答案:does/has done; second; into; impressive; written; better; a; delivery; to pause; that
解析:①考查动词的时态。根据下文“She has a great voice, smooth as velvet.”可知此处应用一般现在时,另外本句也可理解为已经发生的动作,故也可用现在完成时。
②考查数词。此处表示顺序,故应用序数词。
③考查介词。turn...into...把……变成……。
④考查词性转换。本句为倒装句,主语为her speed,设空处作表语,故应用形容词形式。
⑤考查非谓语动词。text 与write之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。
⑥考查比较级。此处表示与以前做对比,应该用比较级。
⑦考查冠词。此处表示数量“一”的概念,且non-speaker的读音以辅音音素开头,因此用不定冠词a。
⑧考查词性转换。形容词性物主代词her修饰名词。
⑨考查非谓语动词。此处“疑问词+动词不定式”在句中作knows的宾语。
⑩考查强调句型。强调句型的基本结构为“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who...”,强调人时用who或that均可,强调其他时只能用that。此处强调主语the heart-to-heart communication,所以用that。
