1. (2019·自贡) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。

    Few students like homework, but it is an important part of middle school life in the UK.

    The UK has these rules for homework: Grades7and 8 (ages 11 to 13): 45 to 90 minutes per day; Grade 9 (ages 14 to 15):1 to 2 hours a day.

    Today, many homework tasks are done on a computer. For example, preparing reports, using the Internet or doing online tasks. So schools are usually open before and after normal hours. In this way, students without computers or the Internet at home can use the schools' facilities(设备).

    Sometimes, students are given extended learning tasks. That means they need to do more research and analysis(分析).But however big a task is, teachers always give feedback反馈）to help students find the areas where they can improve.

    Some schools send students home with home diaries. They advise parents to check on their

    Children's progress. Sadly, not every parent takes much interest. In a survey of 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, over 10 percent said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15 percent said their families did not support them enough.
