考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。
学习步骤如下：
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）
Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on this educational ritual. Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade.
短文翻译
家庭作业从来都不是特别受学学生甚至很多家长的欢迎，但近年来它更是饱受诟病。全国各地的学区,尤其是洛杉矶联合学区,最近正在改变他们对这项教育惯例的看法。不幸的是,洛杉矶联合学区出台了一项缺乏弹性的政策,该政策规定除了一些高级课程外,家庭作业在学生学业成绩中的占比不得超过10%。

21. It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework _____.
[A] is receiving more criticism
[B] is no longer an educational ritual
[C] is not required for advanced courses
[D] is gaining more preference
题目解析
21.【解析】根据题干关键词“Paragraph 1”和“nowadays homework”定位到首句。题干的 nowadays 对应该句后半句中的 in recent years，文中说道家庭作业一直都不受欢迎，这两年尤其让人蔑视，可推出所选答案则应该是对家庭作业表示否定的信息，A 项是否定信息，并且是对原文信息“it has been particularly scorned”的同义替换，故为正确答案。B 项根据“educational ritual”定位到该段第二句，原文提到的是“revise”，意为“改变”，而没有表达取消家庭作业的想法，为过度推断。C 项根据“advanced courses”定位到该段第三句，暗示了高级课程中家庭作业的比例仍然没变，C 项内容和文章表述相反。D 项的“more preference”表明人们对家庭作业的态度是正面的，文中则指出“it has been particularly scorned”，是明显的负面态度，情感态度相反，故不选。
