解析：
51.unnecessary没有必要的。他们说没有必要让孩子在业余时间做作业。Many people now think that teacher give pupils too much homework. 表明了家长对学生做家庭作业的态度，他们认为老师布置的家庭作业太多了。B项uninteresting“没有兴趣的”；C项unfortunate“不幸的”；D项unimportant“不重要的”，均与题意不符。答案为A。
52.moreover“此外，而且”。进一步阐明家长对教师布置家庭作业的观点。nevertheless“不过”；therefore“因此”，表示结果；however“然而”，表示转折，均不合语意。答案为D。
53.properly适当地。而且，家长认为很多教师对学生的家庭作业没有适当的计划。一些考生把considerably(相当地)误解为“考虑”，发生了错误。B项favourably“赞同的，有利的”；D项pleasantly“愉快的”，均不符合题意。答案为C。
54.根据下文所提供的语境which they already done at school可判断出学生所做的家庭作业重复了在学校所做的事。而acplish=finish successfully完成，实现；attend参加，照顾，均不合语意。答案为B。
55.plain about对……抱怨。由于教师布置的作业太难，引起了家长的抱怨。选项A有一定的干扰性，quarrel about为……争吵。一般说来，家长不会因此和教师争吵。puzzle about伤脑筋。explore探险，一般不与about连用，而且也与短文意思不符。答案为D。
56.下文Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently．对做出正确选择作了提示，由于家长们认为学生的家庭作业是浪费时间，他们希望能使学生不做家庭作业。答案为B。
57.上文中的allow pupils to stay at school to do their homework和The children are free to help one another．属于一种安排(arrangement)，而不属于schedule“课程表”、operation“操作”和behaviour“行为”的范畴。答案为C。
58.fair相当好。下文的内容对做出正确选择作了提示：学生应该在安静的地方做作业，而家庭的条件不利于做作业，所以家庭作业不是相当好的。由于fair在教科书中的注释为“公平”，影响了考生做出正确选择。答案为A。
59.fortable舒适的。根据上文中的quiet可确定答案。学生应该在安静舒适的房间里做作业。选项D有很大的干扰性，suitable合适的，与quiet不相搭配。答案为C。
60.根据下文中的介词in可确定答案，take no interest in sth．对……不感兴趣。另外一些家长对他们孩子的家庭作业不感兴趣。干扰项是选项C，take notice of对……不理睬，要与介词of连用。B项curiosity“好奇”；D项attention“注意”，与题意不符。答案为A。
