【题目解析】：1.整篇文章是对于Homeschooling 和School教育方式的优劣对比。第一段一开始就描写了在学校很多事物导致孩子难以集中精力。与之相对家庭教育干扰更少。答案选B。
2.第二段“In some schools, conditions are bad for children’s safety and health. ____. Homeschooling parents can control their children’s environment to make sure it is safe and healthy. ”空的前一句提到在学校条件对于孩子的健康安全不利。后一句说到家庭教育能否为孩子提供安全健康的环境。由此可以判断空中的内容应与健康和安全环境有关。只有E选项“old or poorly-designed buildings老旧设计较差的建筑”涉及到了学习条件。答案选E。
3.第三段“Homeschooling children don’t have to stay in the school. __3__. They can interact with people in familiar situations, and they feel they can interact with people as adults. ”空的前一句说明家庭教育孩子不必待在学校。后一句说到孩子可以在熟悉的环境下与人交往，他们感觉是作为成人和别人交往。中间一句可猜测要交代家庭教育的孩子的教育地点。A选项“in the community”提供了家庭教育的具体地点。答案选A。
4.第4段段首School bullying(以强欺弱)is a serious problem.结合下文可知本段要提到学校霸凌的问题。D选项D. Some children do not treat their classmates appropriately.正是对于学校霸凌问题的具体解释。答案选择D。
5.第5段Schools are cutting field trips.__ __On the contrary, homeschooling can move outdoors, to the beach or the zoo.空的前一句子提到学校减少校外参观的旅行。空的后一句则相反，家庭搞教育可以在户外进行，到海边和公园。这提示空中的内容应该是与户外教育相关的，只有F选项出现了”trip”出行。答案选F。
