Do kids need homework It depends. Some readers from a famous magazine, think that the extra work reviews what they have learnt in class. And it also helps teachers find where students need more help. Others say homework adds to students’ stress and takes time away from exercise or learning something new. In order to know what kind of homework kids should do and how much kids need, the magazine interviewed several kids.
Kids need homework. When they learn something new in school, reviewing it at home helps them remember it. Our homework gives our teachers valuable information. It tells them how much students are paying attention in class and who needs extra help.
In my opinion, giving students homework is a bad idea. After school kids need experiences that build a healthy mind and body. Homework is not supposed to stress kids out. When there is too much homework, students do poorly in homework. In fact, doing homework poorly is worse than doing no homework.
Robert, 10 Kids need homework. But that depends. Middle and high school students can do more homework. At my school, primary students get homework, but not too much. My teacher might ask us to learn spelling words at home and each week we’ll be given a test.
Kids don’t need homework. They’re learning for six hours a day at school. Adding another hour of work for kids to do at home is just having them repeat what they’ve been doing all day. Besides, homework takes time away from activities like team sports. These are just as important as schoolwork, because they keep kids active.
56．What did the magazine do about homework
A．It had a discussion. B．It did a report.
C．It performed an experiment. D．It made an interview.
57．Karen thinks doing homework can help kids ________.
A．remember what they learn at school B．get good grades
C．get valuable information D．like studying more
58．What will happen when homework is too much according to Michael
A．Students will do no homework.
B．Students will do homework poorly.
C．Students will build a healthy mind and body.
D．Students will have no time to do exercise.
59．What is Robert’s opinion about homework
A．Primary students don’t need to do homework.
B．High school students can do more homework.
C．Homework just repeats what is learned in class.
D．Students shouldn’t do homework.
60．What does the underlined word “These” refer to in the last paragraph
A．Kids. B．Subjects. C．Activities like team sports. D．Exams.
【答案】56．D 57．A 58．B 59．B 60．C
【导语】本文主要介绍了几个孩子对于“家庭作业”的看法。
56．细节理解题。根据“In order to know what kind of homework kids should do and how much kids need, the magazine interviewed several kids.”可知，为了了解孩子们应该做什么样的家庭作业以及需要多少家庭作业，该杂志采访了几个孩子。故选D。
57．细节理解题。根据“When they learn something new in school, reviewing it at home helps them remember it.”可知，在家做作业有助于他们复习并记住学到的新东西。故选A。
58．细节理解题。根据“When there is too much homework, students do poorly in homework.”可知，迈克尔认为如果作业太多时，学生的作业会做得很差。故选B。
59．细节理解题。根据“Middle and high school students can do more homework.”可知，高中生可以做更多的作业。故选B。
60．词句猜测题。根据“Besides, homework takes time away from activities like team sports. These are just as important as schoolwork, because they keep kids active.”可知，家庭作业占用了孩子们进行团体运动等活动的时间。这些活动与学业同样重要，因为它们能让孩子们保持活跃。因此推知“these”指代上文提到的“activities like team sports”。故选C。2024年中考英语复习拔高特训之阅读理解之应用文（山西省）

Do kids need homework It depends. Some readers from a famous magazine, think that the extra work reviews what they have learnt in class. And it also helps teachers find where students need more help. Others say homework adds to students’ stress and takes time away from exercise or learning something new. In order to know what kind of homework kids should do and how much kids need, the magazine interviewed several kids.
Kids need homework. When they learn something new in school, reviewing it at home helps them remember it. Our homework gives our teachers valuable information. It tells them how much students are paying attention in class and who needs extra help.
In my opinion, giving students homework is a bad idea. After school kids need experiences that build a healthy mind and body. Homework is not supposed to stress kids out. When there is too much homework, students do poorly in homework. In fact, doing homework poorly is worse than doing no homework.
Robert, 10 Kids need homework. But that depends. Middle and high school students can do more homework.
At my school, primary students get homework, but not too much. My teacher might ask us to learn spelling words at home and each week we’ll be given a test.
Kids don’t need homework. They’re learning for six hours a day at school. Adding another hour of work for kids to do at home is just having them repeat what they’ve been doing all day. Besides, homework takes time away from activities like team sports. These are just as important as schoolwork, because they keep kids active.
