Passage 1
Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recently years ithas been particularly scorned.School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, arerevising their thinking on this educational ritual. Unfortunately, L.A.Unified has produced an inflexiblepolicy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count formore than 10% of a student's academic grade.
This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might havein completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory.

But with homework counting for no more than 10% of their grades, students caneasily skip half their homework and see very little difference on their report cards.

题目解答
答案
参考答案：A
解析
考查要点：本题考查学生对文章隐含信息的推理能力，需要结合上下文理解作者的言外之意。
解题核心：抓住第一段中“particularly scorned”这一关键词，结合学区修改政策的背景，推断出近年来家庭作业受到的批评增多。
关键点：明确“scorned”表示“被强烈批评”，且“in recent years”强调时间范围，说明批评程度加深。
第一段内容梳理：
- 家庭作业历来不受学生和部分家长欢迎。
- 近年来批评声音更强烈（“particularly scorned”）。
- 各地学区（如洛杉矶）开始调整政策，但新政策存在争议。
选项分析：
- A选项“is receiving more criticism”对应“particularly scorned”，符合“近年来批评增多”的隐含信息。
- B、C、D选项均与原文矛盾（如“不再常规”“高级课程例外”“优待”均不符合文意）。
