Question

【题目】Poor parenting is to blame for a major deterioration（变坏） in the behavior of primary school pupils over the past five years,a study suggests.

Classroom disorder is a big problem for teachers, according to researchers ar Cambridge University.In interview with teachers, Professors Maurice Galton and John Macbeath found that many blamed their pupils’ bad behavior on the inability of parents to control children at home.

Many pupils lacked the social skills required to get on in class, said the researchers. “The teachers describe ‘highly permissive’ parents who admitted to indulging(纵容) their children,often for the sake of peace,” the author added.

Examples included a mother who,after great effort,succeeded in getting her five-year-old son to bed at 1 am instead of 3 am,and a boy of seven who broke his Sony PlayStation in a tantrum(发脾气),and then would not behave for a week until his mother bought him a new one.

Professors Galton and Macbeath were also told of parents who would do anything to shut their children up”just to get some peace”.

The researchers,who visited schools they studied five years ago,added,”There appeared to have been a bad influence on school life from a rapidly changing social scene”

“Motivating certain children, it was claimed, had become more difficult because by the time they came to school many of these children had become expert in dealing with adults.”

According to Galton and Macbeath, the top five difficulties to teaching are poor pupil behavior, lack of time for reflection, large class sizes, too many initatives and an overloaded curriculum. “Children arrive at school knowing too much and not enough.”They said.

【答案】【1】 B

【2】 D

【解析】【1】细节理解题。从第二段中的“many blamed their pupils’ bad behavior on the inability of parents to control children at home”可知这些孩子之所以表现不好是因为他们的父母无法控制他们，即他们在家里没有养成听从他人的习惯。

【2】细节理解题。从第三段中的“often for the sake of peace”以及第五段可知父母为了安静而放纵孩子。

【3】主旨大意题。本文主要描述了因父母在家里对孩子管教不力，过分纵容而导致孩子在学校里表现不好。所以B项符合主题。
