答案及解析：
1.B。homeschoolers 和public school advocates 相对的，倒数第二段第二句可见homes
choolers并非小孩而是父母。
2.A。第三段as public school officials realize they stand little to gain by remaining
hostile to the home-school population可知学校对家庭教育方式的态度逐渐变的温和纯属无奈
3.C。第五段they have strong convictions that their approach to education-whether fueled
by religious enthusiasm or the individual child’s interests and natural pace-is best.不难看出C是对的。
4.D。第六段最后一句She says home schoolers choose that path for a variety of reasons, but
religion plays a role 85 percent of the time. 及第七段的第二句Some home schoolers want their
children to learn “strict religious doctrine and a conservative political and social perspective.均可判断出D项正确。
5.C。第七段2、3句可以看出home schoolers 对自己的孩子不论是知识的获取还是情感教育都有很高的期望，而且他们认为家庭时最好的学校。另外第八段第一句表达了他们对公立学校教育的不满，因此他们认为公立学校不能给孩子提供良好的教育。
