21、那样做很多家务了。而研究证明，从小做家务的孩子们长大之后会在家庭、学校和社会上表现更好，而且更独立。所以父母要培养孩子们从小做家务的习惯。1actively解析：考查副词。句意：最近的一项研究表明，大多数成年人在年轻时主动做家务。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰谓语动词，修饰动词要用副词，所以要用active的副词形式actively。2the解析：考查冠词。此处的“study”就是上文提到的“study”，是特指，故用定冠词the 表示特指。3on解析：考查固定搭配。句意：今天的父母希望他们的孩子把更多的时间花在能给他们带来金钱和荣誉的东西上。spend sth. on sth.为 固定搭配，意为
22、“把花在上”。可知此处填介词on。4doing解析：考查固定搭配。句意：他们已经停止做被证明能带来成功的事情。那就是做家务。根据语境可知，这里说的是“停止做某事”，而不是“停下来去做某事”，故用stop doing sth.。5who/that解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中引导定语从句，先行词为the kids，关系代词在从句中作主语，因此本空填who/that。6to_succeed解析：考查固定短语。句意：在3岁到4岁开始做家务的年轻人更有可能成功。be likely to do sth.为固定短语，意为“某人有可能做某事”，故用不定式to succeed。7is_sai
23、d解析：考查固定用法。句意：据说个人幸福来自于牢固的人际关系。本句含有“be said动词不定式”结构，且这里说的是现在的一般情况，主语为Personal happiness，因此填is said。8helpful解析：考查形容词作表语。本空应填形容词helpful与kind并列作表语。故填helpful。9dealt/should_deal解析：考查固定句式。句意：如果你的孩子说他们不得不停止做家务，因为现在是他们做家庭作业的时候了。Its time (that).为固定句型，that从句要用虚拟语气，即从句谓语用一般过去式或“shoulddo”，其中should不可以省略，故填dealt/
24、should deal。10messages解析：考查名词的复数。message是可数名词，其前没有冠词，故要用其复数形式messages。.短文改错(2019广东省实验中学高三月考)That I was in the second grade, my mother would frequently send me there to the little neighborhood store.
