每天至少两个，自己先分析，有疑问参看我给的内容。觉得有难度，就多看几遍。
1991 Passage 1
一、A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
【解析】
1、全句主干：A man said that the thing is to do nothing. 其中，that引导的从句作said的宾语；
2、necessary for … （…所需要的）。necessary for the triumph of evil （邪恶的胜利所需要的，邪恶获胜所需要的），这是个形容词短语，在句中作thing 的后置定语。
3、for good men （对好人来说），这个介宾短语作that从句的状语，放到从句主语之前翻译。
【翻译】
直译：一个智者曾经说过，对好人来说，邪恶的胜利所需要的唯一一个东西是（好人）什么都不做。
意译：一个智者曾经说过，坏事得逞所需要的唯一一个条件，就是坏事发生时好人袖手旁观。
二、Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn’t provide a stable home.
【解析】
1、consider A B = consider A as B = consider A to be B 把A看做、当做
B （省略as或to be的第一个短语更常用，要格外重视）。
2、A is considered B. A被（人们）看做B，人们把A看做B。
3、It is the criminal who … 是一个强调句。
一般来说，判断是否强调句，把It be和that（或who）三个词去掉，如果句子仍然完整，就是强调句，否则就不是。例如It is English that is most widely used in the world，去掉It is和that，剩余部分English is most widely used in the world仍然是一个完整的句子，所以这就是一个强调句。
4、 -ed分词后出现by短语，by之后的名词或代词一般是发出动作的主体，例如made by China中，China就是发出made这一动作的主体。本句中by之前有两个-ed分词，一个是considered（认为），一个是 victimized（使变成受害者），by之后的主体发出哪一个动作，需要根据全句的含义判断，尤其是by之后的主体。很明显，学校、教堂这些主体发出的动作是victimized。
【翻译】
三十年前，如果出现犯罪，社会被看作是受害者。现在，令人震惊的是，一切都颠倒了，被认为变成受害者的是罪犯，令他变成受害者的，是他小时候缺乏机会的成长环境，未能教会他念书的学校，没能在道德上给予他引导的教会，和未能给他提供一个稳定家庭的父母。
三、If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become
a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
【解析】
1、from的基本含义有两个：来自；分离。由此，vt. A from B这样的动词短语，其意义基本上取决于from，不管vt.位置上出现哪一个动词，整个短语一般可归结为两个词义：A来自B；A与B相分离。例如：derive fun from study（从学习中得到快乐，快乐来自学习），liberate women from housework（将妇女从家务中解放出来，使妇女与家务相分离）。
free the criminal from accountability表示使罪犯与责任相分离，即，使罪犯免于担责。
2、partly不宜总翻成“部分地”，有些情况下需要译为“在某种程度上”。
3、society不宜总翻成“社会”，有些情况下译为“国家”会更妥。
【翻译】
即使我们只在某种程度上使罪犯免于担责，我们也会变成一个充斥着托词借口的国家，在这个国家，对于任何事情都没有人愿意负责。
Passage 2
四、The period of adolescence, i. e., the period between childhood and adulthood, may be long or short, depending on social expectations and on society’s definition as to what constitutes maturity and adulthood.
【解析】
1、本句主干：The period may be long or short, depending on expectations and on definition.
2、i.e. = that is = that is to say （也就是说）。
3、what引导从句时，可以理解为the thing(s) that，其中the thing(s)需要根据上下文确定所指代的具体事物，that是一个关联代词。例如：I doubt what he said. 就相当于I doubt the thing that he said. 其中，the thing很明显指他所说的话。
句子越长或者越抽象，我们把引导从句的what转化为the thing(s) that，就越便于理解。
4、society’s definition as to what constitutes maturity and adulthood 就相当于society’s definitio n as to the thing that constitutes maturity and adulthood. 其中，as to表示“关于”，the thing根据上下文引申为“条件”。整个短语可以译为“社会关于那些构成成熟和成年的条件的定义”。
【翻译】
The period of adolescence, i. e., the period between childhood and adulthood, may be long or short, depending on social expectations and on society’s definition as to what constitutes maturity and adulthood.
青少年时期，即，儿童期与成年期之间的那段时期，可能长也可能短，（是长是短）取决于社会（对个体所抱）的期望，还取决于社会对于那些构成成熟和成年的条件的定义。
五、In modern society, ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance and there no longer is agreement as to what constitutes initiation ceremonies.
【解析】
1、There is agreement as to/over/about A. 关于A，人们有一致的看法。/人们就A达成了共识。
2、initiation ceremony 成年仪式；开始的仪式
【翻译】
在现代社会，青少年时期（结束）的仪式已经丧失了（社会对它们的）正式认可和象征意义，对于哪些因素可以构成成年仪式，人们也不再有共识。
Passage 3
六、C. R. Darnes has suggested that it is as proper to term the plant a water structure as to call a house composed mainly of brick a brick building.
【解析】
1、It is as proper to do A as to do B. 做A和做B一样恰当。
2、term A B = call A B = name A B 把A称作B。
例如：call Tom a coward 把汤姆称作懦夫。
C termed
D = C called D = C named D = C known as D 被称作D的C。
例如：Tom called a coward 被称作懦夫的汤姆。
3、be composed of = consist of 包含…，由…组成
A composed of
B = A consisting of B 包含B的A，由B组成的A。
例如：a country composed to 50 states = a country consisting of 50 states 包含50个州的国家，由50个州组成的国家。
4、本句简化处理后的结构：C. R. Darnes has suggested that it is as proper to term plant structure as to call house building.
5、Sb suggests that… 通常译为“sb认为”；Sth suggests that … 通常译为“sth表明”。suggest的本意“建议；暗示”两个词义在考试中出现较少。
【翻译】
C. R. Darnes认为，将植物称为水的构造，和将一所主要由砖组成的房子称为砖房一样，都是恰当的。
七、The actual amount of water in the plant at any one time, however, is only a very small part of what passes through it during its development.
【解析】
1、本句主干：The amount is a part of what passes through it.
2、of water作amount的后置定语；in the plant作water的后置定语；at any one time作主句的时间状语；during its development作what引导的宾语从句的时间状语。
3、what = the thing that，本句中thing应该理解为水的数量。
4、it和its都指代主句中的plant。
5、development指植物的生长过程。
【翻译】
直译：但是，在任何一个时刻，植物中水的实际数量，只是在植物的生长过程中通过植物体的水的数量的非常小的一部分。
（结合上下文的）意译：但是，在植物的生长过程中，有大量的水进入植物体，然后会通过蒸发被排出去，与之相比，在任何一个时刻，植物体中水的实际数量只是很小的一个数值。
八、Since carbon dioxide is present in the air only in trace quantities
(3 to 4 parts in 10,000 parts of air)and water vapor is near saturation in the air spaces within the leaf (at 80"F, saturated air would contain about 186 parts of water vapor in 10, 000 parts of air), the total amount of water vapor lost is many times the carbon dioxide intake.
【解析】
1、本句主干：Since carbon dioxide is present and water vapor is near saturation, the amount is many times the carbon dioxide intake.
2、介宾短语in the air 作从句carbon dioxide is present的地点状语，应该翻译到since之后，carbon之前；
介宾短语only in trace quantities作动词is 的状语，翻译时放到is之前；括号里的内容仍然采用英文的顺序；
介宾短语within the leaf作air spaces的后置定语，所以可以看作是介宾短语 in the air spaces的组成部分；
介宾短语 in the air spaces作从句water vapor is near saturation的地点状语，翻译时放到and之后，water之前。
3、air spaces译作“气态空间”比较恰当。
4、lost是个-ed分词，作water vapor的后置定语。
【翻译】
因为在空气中，二氧化碳只以非常微小的数量存在（占万分之三到万分之四），并且在叶子内部的气态空间，水蒸气接近饱和（在华氏80度时，饱和的空气中水蒸气含量大概为万分之一百八十六），所以损失的水蒸气的总量是二氧化碳吸收量的许多倍。
九、Actually, because of wind and other factors, the loss of water in proportion to carbon dioxide intake may be even greater than the relative concentrations of the two gases.
【解析】
1、A in proportion to B A和B的比值；与B相比的A；与B成比例/相称的A
2、even greater中，even是副词，放在比较级前表示强调。其他类似even，可以这样用的词汇：way（注意：此处way不表示“道路、方法”等词意），far，much，many，a lot等。
3、concentration 含量；浓度
【翻译】
实际上，因为风和其他因素，（在植物的整个生存期，）水的损失量与二氧化碳吸收量的比值，可能比两种气体（在某一特定时刻在植物体内部）含量的比值要大得多。
2015考研英语阅读理解精读P18—医学 Passage 18(Doctor-assisted Suicide：Is It Ever an Option?) Should doctor-assisted suicide ever be a legal option? It involves the extreme measure of taking the life of a terminally ill patient when the patient is in extreme pain and the chances for recovery appear to be none.Those who argue against assisted suicide do so by considering the roles of the patient，the doctor，and nature in these situations. Should the patient take an active role in assisted suicide? When a patient is terminally ill and in great pain，those who oppose assisted suicide say that it should not be up to that patient to decide what his or her fate will be.There are greater powers at work that determine when a person dies，for example，nature.Neither science nor personal preference should take precedence over these larger forces. What role should the doctor have? Doctors，when taking the Hippocratic oath，swear to preserve life at all costs，and it is their ethical and legal duty to follow both the spirit and the letter of this oath.It is their responsibilities to heal the sick，and in the cases when healing is not possible，then the doctor is obliged to make the dying person comfortable.Doctors are trained never to hasten death.Those who oppose assisted suicide believe that doctors who do help terminally ill patients die are committing a crime，and they should be dealt with accordingly.Doctors are also，by virtue of their humanness，capable of making mistakes.Doctors could quite possibly say，for instance，that a cancer patient was terminal，and then the illness could later turn out not to be so serious.There is always an element of doubt concerning the future outcome of human affairs. The third perspective to consider when thinking about assisted suicide is the role of nature.Life is precious.Many people believe that it is not up to human beings to decide when to end their own or another’s life.Only nature determines when it is the right time for a person to die.To assist someone in suicide is not only to break criminal laws，but to break divine 1aws as well. These general concerns of those who oppose assisted suicide are valid in certain contexts of the assisted suicide question.For instance，patients cannot always be certain of their medical conditions.Pain clouds judgment，and so the patient should not be the sole arbiter of her or his own destiny.Patients do not usually choose the course of their medical treatment，so they shouldn’t be held completely responsible for decisions related to it.Doctors are also fallible，and it is understandable that they would not want to make the final decision about when death should occur.Since doctors are trained to prolong life，they usually do not elect to take it by prescribing assisted suicide. I believe that blindly opposing assisted suicide does no one a service.If someone is dying of
1. The latest was a panel from the National Academy of Sciences, enlisted by the White House, to tell us that the Earth’s atmosphere is definitely warming and that the problem is largely man-made. (2005. 阅读. Text 2) 【译文】最近的行动是由白宫召集了一批 来自国家科学院的专家团，他们告诉我 们，地球气候毫无疑问正在变暖，而这个问题主要是人为造成的。【析句】句子的主干是The latest was a panel from the National Academy of Sciences to tell us that...and that...。主系表容易辨认，to tell us作目的状语，两个并列的that引导tell的宾语从句。令整个 句子略显复杂的是插入语enlisted by the White House，割裂了这句话的整体性。 2. But science does provide us with the best available guide to the future, and it is critical that our nation and the world base important policies on the best judgments that science can provide concerning the future consequences of present actions. (2005. 阅读. Text 2) 【译文】但是科学确实为我们的未来提供了最好的指导，关键是我们的国家和整个的世界在做重要决策时，应该以科学能够提供的关于人类现在的行为对未来影响最好的判断作为依据。【析句】首先，句子的主干science does provide us...future and it is critical...。and连接两个并列的句子，前句是个简单句，容易理解；后句中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的that从句，因为从句很长，若放在句首，句子则显得头重脚轻。that主语从句中，our nation and the world 是主语，base是谓语，important policies是宾语，on the best judgments 是宾语补足语，而judgments后有that引导的定语从句。注意，concerning the futrue...actions中的concerning此处是介词，意

But there is a catch. Comparisonsites, whether for insurance or something else, introduce a new layer of costs,including their own splashy advertising campaigns. In theory, competition in the market for comparison sites ought to keep those costs down. But in a recentpaper, David Ronayne of Warwick University argues that consumers often lose outfrom comparison sites. They earn a commission for each shopper who uses them to buy insurance. That referral cost is incorporated into the price the consumer ends up paying. If the increased costs outweigh the saving the comparison enables, consumers end up worse off. 1. Why consumers often lose out from the comparison sites? (A) The referral cost will be increasedby splashy advertising campaigns. (B) Consumers may not earn the commissionwhen buying the insurance. (C) The new layer of costs may increasethe price of insurance. (D) The insurance company may spend moreon comparison sites. 题目解析： 1. Why consumers often lose out from the comparison sites? (A) The referral cost will be increased by splashy advertising campaigns. referral cost和splashy advertising campaigns之间是没有关系的（看译文你就知道了） (B) Consumers may not earn the commission when buying the insurance. 这个干扰项就是我从文中随便找了几个词拼凑在一起的。Commission你都不知道是什么就瞎选！ (C) The new layer of costs may increase the price of insurance. Comparison sites, whether for insurance or something else, introduce a new layer of costs. 这句话看的明白吧：新的成本是会加到保险价格上的，羊毛出在羊身上啊！ 正确答案C！！！） (D) The insurance company may spend more on comparison sites. 保险公司才没有花更多呢。 定位其实两个句子都是可以的： That referral cost is incorporated into the price the consumer ends up paying. Comparison sites, whether for insurance or something else, introduce a new layer of costs.
考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类
考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类 unit1 unit1 Some of the concerns surrounding Turkey’s application to join the European Union, to be voted on by the EU’s Council of Ministers on December 17th, are economic-in particular, the country’s relative poverty. Its GDP per head is less than a third of the average for the 15 pre-2004 members of the EU. But it is not far off that of one of the ten new members which joined on May 1st 2004 (Latvia), and it is much the same as those of two countries, Bulgaria and Romania, which this week concluded accession talks with the EU that could make them full members on January 1st 2007. Furthermore, the country’s recent economic progress has been, according to Donald Johnston, the secretary-general of the OECD, "stunning". GDP in the second quarter of the year was 13.4% higher than a year earlier, a rate of growth that no EU country comes close to matching. Turkey’s inflation rate has just fallen into single figures for the first time since 1972, and this week the country reached agreement with the IMF on a new three-year, $10 billion economic programme that will, according to the IMF’s managing director, Rodrigo Rato, "help Turkey... reduce inflation toward European levels, and enhance the economy’s resilience". Resilienc e has not historically been the country’s economic strong point. As recently as 2001, GDP fell by over 7%. It fell by more than 5% in 1994, and by
UNIT SIX TEXT ONE Maintaining internal E-mail systems has long been the bane of the university information-technology director. Servers are unwieldy and unreliable, and in the past several years, the number of student complaints has grown exponentially as forward-moving providers like YahooMail, Hotmail, and Gmail have increased expectations of what E-mail should offer. The solution for a number of colleges has been to wave the white flag and outsource E-mail hosting to the experts. Microsoft, which owns Hotmail, and Google (Gmail) are the biggest players in the educational E-mail hosting market. Along with the neat-o peripheral gizmos like messaging, calendars, and collaboration tools, the outsourced systems are more stable, have better spam filters, and provide much more storage space than the typical university's in-house system. At the University of Pennsylvania, its old E-mail service gave students 60 megabytes of storage, just 3 percent of the 2 gigabytes Windows Live now provides. In return, Google and Microsoft get almost nothing, at least monetarily and in the short term. Microsoft's Windows Live @ edu and the Google Apps Education Edition are free of charge for schools. Eliminating another source of revenue, the two tech giants stripped their respective services of advertising in an effort to accommodate educators' concerns. Microsoft breaks even on the venture (it does run ads on non-E-mail services like instant messaging), while Google, which makes almost all its money through advertising, runs at a loss. But what money they don't make at the moment will—the companies hope—pay great dividends in the form of lifelong users in the future, says Google's Jeff Kelter. As quickly as they shuffle out of commencement, graduates see their E-mail transition to the traditional ad-based formats of Gmail and Hotmail. And unlike before, when universities couldn't afford to host thousands of alumni, Google and Microsoft can maintain every account indefinitely, retaining customers as long as customers still want them. Not all schools are ready to outsource their tech dirty work, with privacy and security topping the list of concerns. Critics worry that by handing over the responsibility of E-mail hosting, colleges also relinquish the freedom to keep the information safe in the best way they see fit. Even in the corporate world, there is great skepticism of consumer technologies like Google Apps. Yet most university IT managers agree that outsiders would do a better job protecting individual E-mail from viruses and spam than their own small operations, and strong word-of-mouth praise has done wonders to supplement the almost nonexistent marketing budgets for these Microsoft and Google

TEXT 2 He emerged, all of a sudden, in 1957: the most explosive new poetic talent of the English post-war era. Poetry specialised, at that moment, in the wry chronicling of the everyday. The poetry of Yorkshire-born Ted Hughes, first published in a book called “The Hawk in the Rain” when he was 27, was unlike anything written by his immediate predecessors. Driven by an almost Jacobean rhetoric, it had a visionary fervour. Its most eye-catching characteristic was Hughes's ability to get beneath the skins of animals: foxes, otters, pigs. These animals were the real thing all right, but they were also armorial devices—symbols of the countryside and lifeblood of the earth in which they were rooted. It gave his work a raw, primal stink. It was not only England that thought so either. Hughes's book was also published in America, where it won the Galbraith prize, a major literary award. But then, in 1963, Sylvia Plath, a young American poet whom he had first met at Cambridge University in 1956, and who became his wife in the summer of that year, committed suicide. Hughes was vilified for long after that, especially by feminists in America. In 1998, the year he died, Hughes broke his own self-imposed public silence about their relationship in a book of loose-weave poe ms called “Birthday Letters”.In this new and exhilarating collection of real letters, Hughes returns to the issue of his first wife's death, which he calls his “big and unmanageable event”. He felt his talent muffled by the perpetual eavesdropping upon his every move. Not until he decided to publish his own account of their relationship did the burden begin to lighten. The analysis is raw, pained and ruthlessly self-aware. For all the moral torment, the writing itself has the same rush and vigour that possessed Hughes's early poetry.
超精读——全面提升英语阅读能力 作者：丁晓钟来源：点点英语 经常有同学问我：有没有什么捷径能够顺利地通过四六级、考研或者其它英语考试? 我的回答总是：没有。但是，帮助同学们找到一套科学的学习方法，不仅可以提高英语能力，而且对考试也有切实的帮助，是我一直所追求的。在国内这样的非母语学习环境里，如何在英语学习上少走弯路，最为行之有效和直接的提高英语水平的办法就是大量阅读，并作精细阅读，这样才能带动“听说写译”等其它能力的突破。结合我个人的学习体会，并经过长时间的思考和教学中的摸索，我总结出了一套以阅读为突破口，提高英语综合能力和突破四六级和考研等等英语考试的“超精读”方法，希望能对同学们有所帮助。 对大部分中国学生来说，欠缺的不是泛读，而是精读。总的来说，同学们在超精读文章的时候要对文章和考点、干扰项等进行详细的分析、总结。这时要仔细体会文章中精彩的语言，注意词语的内涵、使用、扩展和搭配，代词和名词的指代，对精彩句型的模仿，以及对重要语法现象、长句、难句、文章结构的分析。另外，还要注意分析句子和句子之间的关系，是因果、递近、转折还是什么？尤其要注意文章的第一句和最后一句，以及每段的第一句和最后一句与其它句子的关系，体会每句话在文章中的作用。在阅读过程中，要培养自己对文章主要讨论对象、关键词，作者和专家的观点，以及语气的把握。特别注意作者和专家的观点，专家和专家之间的观点是否相同或相反或互补，以及作者和专家的语气是赞成还是反对，是关注还是乐观等等。如果是真题，还要仔细分析考点和正确、干扰选项的规律、特征。在此过程中，可把文章尽可能的多读几遍，甚至翻译一下，提高对文章中单词、短语、句型等的反应速度，阅读速度自然也就提高了。 如果能做到上面几点，那么你才能说真正地理解了文章，阅读理解能力以及综合英语能力都会得到很大的提高，其结果是对考试中的每个题型的把握都会更上一层楼。先从听力说起，据研究，一个人的阅读理解能力和听力水平是成正比关系的。试想，有的同学连听力原文都看不懂，怎么可能听懂呢。另外，在超精读的过程中，所积累的词汇能力，对词汇题也有很大帮助，我曾做过统计，如果对10套左右的四六级、考研阅读真题中的词汇进行过深入学习，大纲中的重点词汇就已经囊括大半。最好的词汇记忆方法是通过阅读来学习，可以记得又牢又准确。对翻译、完形、改错、简短回答问题等小题型，你就会觉得得心应手，因为你对这些题型的解题能力和你的阅读、词汇能力最相关。关于作文，许多同学喜欢背模版，其实模版作文千篇一律，很难拿到高分。如果在读英语报刊和真题的过程中，我们有意识地摘抄积累一些精彩地道的词汇和句型，考试时信手拈来，无疑会使评卷老师眼睛为之一亮。实际上，我们所阅读的英语文章就是一篇篇精彩的作文范文。如果我们能在早晨、傍晚朗读或背诵英语报刊文章或真题阅读文章，经常进行翻译练习，耳濡目染接触到的都是地道的英语，坚持下去，我们的听说读写译能力很自然地就会得到提高。 第一步：准备好阅读材料，训练阅读速度，捕捉文章大意。不要查字典、看译文。 在阅读英语报刊（推荐阅读Time, Newsweek, the Economist等）或者真题的时候，第一遍都必须首先注意提高阅读速度。对报刊上的文章，第一遍读的时候不要查字典，记下起止时间，计算单位时间的阅读量。对真题，更加要控制在规定的时间内完成，阅读时就要随时对可能的考点作出标记，最后结合解题技巧来解题。这时的重点放在训练速度，掌握文章大意、结构，以及作者和专家等的观点。 第二步：总结文章中词汇使用的准确性、形象性、多样性和感情色彩及语气，复合词的使用，总结各类重要搭配，对各类重要词汇进行扩展，正确识别代词与抽象名词的指代，并记忆和运用可以在作文中使用的词汇。 1.从文章中词汇使用的准确性、形象性、多样性和感情色彩及语气角度，复合词的使用进行总结。
那些有纪念意义的考研英语真题之一 The Evolution of Credibility in Doing Science（科学发展可信性的改变） ---2012.Text 3 In The idealized version of how science is done, facts about the world are waiting to be observed and collected by objective researchers who use the scientific method to carry out their work. But in the everyday practice of science, discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route. We aim to be objective, but we cannot escape the context of our unique life experience. Prior knowledge and interests influence what we experience, what we think our experiences mean, and the subsequent actions we take. Opportunities for misinterpretation, error, and self-deception abound. Consequently, discovery claims should be thought of as protoscience. Similar to newly staked mining claims, they are full of potential. But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to transform a discovery claim into a mature discovery. This is the credibility process, through which the individual research’s me, here, now become the community’s anyone, anywhere, anytime. Objective knowledge is the goal, not the starting point. Once a discovery claim becomes public, the discovery receives intellectual credit. But, unlike with mining claims, the community takes control of what happens next. With the complex social structure of the
2015考研英语阅读理解精读P18—工学 类 Passage 18 Tennis hopeful Jamie Hunt, 16, felt he could not become a world-class junior player while attending a regular school. The international circuit has players on the road 50% of the time--and it's hard to focus on your backhand when you're worrying about being on time for homeroom. So last year Hunt, who hones his ground strokes at Elite TNT Tennis Academy in April Sound, Texas, enrolled for academics in the $9,750-a-year University of Miami Online High School (UMOHS), a virtual school that caters to athletes. "The online school gives me the flexibility I need," says Hunt. "The workload is the same, but I can do it anywhere. It's nicer to ask a question face-to-face with a teacher, but in some ways it prepares me better for college because I have to be more independent." A year ago, Hunt's world junior ranking was 886; now it's 108. Virtual high schools, which allow students to take classes via PC, have emerged as an increasingly popular education alternative, particularly for on-the-go athletes. UMOHS has more than 400 students enrolled, 65% of whom are athletes. Accredited by the 100-year-old Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, UMOHS offers honors and advanced-placement classes. All course material is online, along with assignments and due dates. For help, says principal Howard Liebman, "a student may e-mail, instant message or call the teacher." Dallas mom Lori Bannon turned to another online school, Laurel Springs in Ojai, Calif. Bannon, who has a medical degree from Harvard, didn't want to compromise the education of her daughter Lindsay, 13, an élite gymnast who spends eight hours a day in the gym. "Regular school was not an option," says Bannon, "but I wanted to make sure she could go back at grade level if she quit gymnastics." Laurel Springs' enrollment has increased 35% a year for the past four years, to 1,800 students. At least 25% are either athletes or child entertainers.
