Question

10．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 many countries for a variety of reasons．One of them is poor quality of education in public schools and it's also because private schools are quite expensive．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 spirit and values of the family and also their religious beliefs．They also think that homeschooling would help in development of strong family bonds（家庭纽带）．
However，homeschooling is to some extent not good for 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 is likely that the parent might have forgotten what he or she has learned，and the curriculum（课程） of the children would also be different．This would make it difficult for the parents to explain the concepts to their children．Parents also have the responsibility of designing the curriculum of students．
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 future 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 various activities to improve their overall development．
It is true that it has many benefits，but one must know that school teaches children skills to face and survive．

Answer 1

分析 本文是议论文，就"在家接受教育还是到学校接受教育"的话题展开的讨论，就家庭教育的优劣进行了比较．

解答 56：public 信息查找题．第一段：Homeschooling means educating children at home instead of sending them to public or private schools．这里是说在家教育孩子而不是送他们去公立或者私立学校；故答案为public．
57：Reasons．信息查找题．第一段：Nowadays，homeschooling has become popular in many countries for a variety of reasons．这是分析在家受教育现象流行的原因；故答案为Reasons．
58：cheap/low．信息查找题．第一段：One of them is poor quality of education in public schools and it's also because private schools are quite expensive．这里是强调私立学校的费用不低；故答案为cheap/low．
59：better．信息查找题．第一段：Some parents believe that because they know their child's strengths and weaknesses，they can teach him or her better．父母了解自己的孩子，在家接受教育更好；故答案为better．
60：helpful．信息转换题．将第一段"They also think that homeschooling would help in development of strong family bonds（家庭纽带）．"中的"help"转换成"helpful"． 故答案为helpful．
61：effects．信息查找题．第二段：However，there are some negative effects of homeschooling on students as well as parents．此处强调的是在家受教育的一些副作用；故答案为effects．
62：focus/concentrate．信息归纳题．根据第二段"Homeschooling is a full-time job and not fit for parents who have their own careers．"可知"他们不可能关注自己的工作"．注意固定搭配：fix/concentrate on．故答案为focus/concentrate
63：teachers．信息查找题．第三段：Besides，a parent may have high educational qualifications，but that does not make him or her a good teacher．父母虽然学历高，但未必就是好老师；故答案为teachers．
