The concept of homeschooling is not a new one. Homeschooling means educating children at home instead of sending them to public or private schools. Nowadays, homeschooling has become popular in the USA for a lot of reasons. One of them is poor quality of education in public schools and it’s also because of the high cost in private schools. Some parents believe that because they know their child’s strengths and weaknesses, they can teach him or her better. Some parents prefer homeschooling so as to prevent their children from getting into bad company. There is another group of people who choose to educate their children at home because they want them to learn their religious beliefs. They also think that homeschooling would help in development of strong family bonds (家庭紐帶).

However, there are some negative influences of homeschooling on students as well as parents.

Homeschooling is a full-time job and not fit for parents who have their own careers. It takes a lot of time for parents’ side to make homeschooling a success. Other family members’ responsibilities may also be affected. They may give their full attention to the needs of their children. Besides, a parent may have high educational qualifications, but that does not make him or her a good teacher. Teaching is an art, which requires the ability to understand the needs of the children. It may be difficult for the parents to explain the concepts to their children.

In today’s world, competition is seen in every field, and school prepares children to face these competitions. However, homeschooling does not give the children a chance to compare with other kids. They will also not be aware of where they stand in educational position among their classmates. This may affect their lives. Education is not the only thing that the children need to become successful human beings. It is necessary that they learn to communicate in the society, and public school provides them with such an environment, where they meet many people. Schools also provide children with a chance to take part in different activities to improve their overall development.

It is true that it has many advantages, but one must get to know that school teaches children skills to survive.

【解析】

本文是議論文。短文從兩方面談?wù)摿思彝ソ逃�的�?yōu)點(diǎn)和不足。

【1】對(duì)應(yīng)信息在原文第一段第2句“Homeschooling means educating children at home instead of sending them to public or private schools.”可知在家教育的概念是在家里面教育孩子，而不是送到私立或者公立的學(xué)校，故填public。

【2】對(duì)應(yīng)線索在第一段第三句“Nowadays, homeschooling has become popular in the USA for a lot of reasons.”介紹了許多家庭教育流行的原因。故填reasons。

【3】對(duì)應(yīng)線索在第一段第四句“One of them is poor quality of education in public schools and it’s also because of the high cost in private schools.”一個(gè)原因是公立學(xué)校的教育質(zhì)量差，私立學(xué)校的高收費(fèi)。故填high cost同義詞expensive昂貴的。

【4】對(duì)應(yīng)線索在第一段第五行“Some parents believe that because they know their child’s strengths and weaknesses, they can teach him or her better.”可知，一些父母認(rèn)為他們知道自己孩子的長處和缺點(diǎn)，能做到因材施教。原文是主動(dòng)語態(tài)，表格里面用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。故填過去分詞taught。

【5】首先，根據(jù)is和in可知這里應(yīng)該是形容詞。其次，根據(jù)文章第一段最后兩句，尤其是“they also think that homeschooling would help...”，可知將help轉(zhuǎn)化為heipfull。故故答案為helpful。

【6】對(duì)應(yīng)線索就在第二段“However, there are some negative influences of homeschooling on students as well as parents.”下面介紹了幾種家庭教育的negative influences負(fù)面影響。故填influences。

【7】考察轉(zhuǎn)換詞。首先，根據(jù)不定式符號(hào)to可知這里應(yīng)該用動(dòng)詞原形；其次，鎖定線索—原文第三段第二行“it takes a lot of time to make homeschooling a success”，可知要想成功做好家庭教學(xué)要花費(fèi)很多時(shí)間。故填succeed。

【8】根據(jù)文中句子 Besides, a parent may have high educational qualifications, but that does not make him or her a good teacher.父母雖然學(xué)歷高，但未必就是好老師； 故答案天teachers。

【9】首先，這題跟在介詞of后面，可知作賓語的詞一定具有名詞性質(zhì)；其次，鎖定原文線索——第4段第5行“l(fā)earn to communicate in the society”。最后將communicate轉(zhuǎn)換為名詞性質(zhì)，故填communication或communicating。

【10】根據(jù)文中句子Schools also provide children with a chance to take part in different activities to improve their overall development.“反過來推”家庭教育沒有這個(gè)條件提供。結(jié)合題目中的句子，故填動(dòng)詞improve。
