　　51. What does the author say about pre-kindergarten education?

　　A. It should cater to the needs of individual children.

　　B. It is essential to a person’s future academic success.

　　C. Scholars and policymakers have different opinions about it.

　　D. Parents regard it as the first phase of children’s development.

　　答案：C

　　难度：易

　　原文：But it get complicated. The concept has multiple forms, and scholars policymakers argue about the shape, scope, and cost of the ideal program.

　　解析：题干问关于学前教育，作者说了什么。根据题干中的pre-kindergarten education以及顺序原则(第一题对应原文第一段)，很快定位到原文第一段，但是发现做不出来答案，所以继续往第二段读，第二段开头就是but，因为but表示转折，转折之后是重点，不需要太多理解，反正答案一定和scholars and policymakers有关，看一下选项，只有C同时包含这两个，所以选C

　　52 What does the new Peabody study find?

　　A. Pre-K achievements usually do not last long.

　　B. The third grade marks a new phase of learning.

　　C. The third grade is critical to children’s development.

　　D. Quality has not been the top concern of pre-K programs.

　　答案：A

　　原文：A new Peabody study of the Tennessee Voluntary Pre-K program reports that pre-K works, but the gains are not sustained through the third grade.

　　难度：中

　　解析： 根据题干中的Peabody study 以及顺序原则，很快可以定位到原文第四段，原文Peabody study出来之后，以of结构对其进行介绍，但介绍本身不重要，继续往后看到but，but表示转折，转折之后是重点，the gains are not sustained through the third grade.意思是成果“战斗力不足、不持久”，所以选A。

　　53. When does the author think pre-K works the best?

　　A. When it is accessible to kids of all families

　　B. When it is made part of kid’s education

　　C. When it is no longer considered a luxury.

　　D. When it is made fun and enjoyable to kids

　　答案：B

　　原文：Pre-K is controversial. Some critics say it is a luxury and shouldn’t be free to families able to pay. Pre-K advocates insist it is proven and will succeed if integrated with the rest of the child’s schooling. I lean toward the latter view.

　　难度：中

　　解析：题干问，作者认为pre-K学前教育什么时候效果最好?根据顺序原则可以定位到原文第5段，来看一下这一段结构，作者开头就说Pre-K是有争议的，然后给出了两种对立的观点，然后作者表了态，说I lean toward the latter view我倾向于后一个观点，而后一个观点说如果和孩子的学校教育结合的话，Pre-K就会成功，所以答案就应该选B(当Pre-K成为孩子教育的一部分)
