21、然，正常情况下，孩子们仍然一根筋地有只要快乐玩耍的欲望。courage勇气；time时间；effort努力；desire欲望。根据本句的 “single-minded”和 “have fun”推断，此处用“desire”符合语境，故选D项。3A考查动词短语辨析。句意：即使他们加入(尤其是帮助做家务让他们有时间和父母待在一起，他们一般不可能主动要求做家务，父母常常需要布置作为家庭归属感的任务。helping out帮助；coming out出版，开花； running out用完；trying out尝试。结合上下文可知，本篇主要讲述孩子帮忙做家务的话题，故此处用“helping out”符合语
22、境，故选A项。4B考查形容词辨析。句意：同上题。anxious焦虑的；likely可能的；afraid害怕的；able有能力的。根据下文可知，家长们时常需要给他们布置任务/责任，故推测孩子们一般不可能主动要求家务活，be not likely to do sth.意为 “不可能做某事”，故选B项。5B考查动词辨析。句意：同题3。attending出席；belonging归属；appealing吸引；referring谈及。此处是指做家务活可以让孩子有归属感，故选B项。6D考查动词辨析。句意：在这个年纪，许多孩子发现很难去完成日常家务，至少一开始会这样。check核查；present呈现；rec
23、ord记录；complete完成。结合上下文，此处是指孩子们一开始觉得完成家务活很困难，故选D项。7A考查形容词辨析。句意：责任和积极性就得通过一种逐渐的，潜移默化的指导和奖励过程来学习。gradual逐渐的；virtual虚拟的；casual随意的；punctual准时的。结合实际，责任和积极性是逐渐习得的，故选A项。8B考查副词辨析。句意：正当自己孩子在承担更多责任的时候，他/她可能会有不负责任，拖延，懒散等毛病。 inaccurately不准确地；irresponsibly不负责任地；illegally违法地；impolitely不礼貌地。定位到后面的 “procrastinating
24、and dawdling”都是贬义词，所以这里也应该填写贬义词，再对应上文的responsible，故选B项。9C考查形容词辨析。句意：在这个阶段，父母需要进一步，用鼓励和亲切的指导把他们引导到正确的方向。free免费的，自由的；usual通常的；right正确的；same相同的。定位到后面的 “encouragement and gentle guidance”都是褒义词，所以这里也应该填写褒义词，故用right符合语境，故选C项。10C考查动词辨析。句意：父母需要防止这种过度负担，而同时父母仍然能确定他们的年轻一代正在承担适当的责任。carry携带；offer提供；prevent防止；pr
25、otect保护。根据overloading(过度负担)可推测，此处用“防止”符合语境，故选C项。11D考查形容词辨析。句意：同上题。temporary暂时的；limited有限的；universal普遍的；proper适当的。根据前文的 “Parents need to _10_ this kind of overloading”和本句的while可知，此处用“proper”符合语境，故选D项。12B考查动词辨析。句意：孩子们在性格方面不同。conflict冲突；differ不同； fail失败；change改变。根据下文的 “Some are simply not very persiste
26、nt in the middle of chores.Others have difficulty getting organized”可知，孩子和孩子之间是不一样的，故此处用“differ”符合语境，故选B项。13C考查名词辨析。句意：你应该对孩子的性格有敏锐的洞察力，相应地改变你们的期待。point点，要点； taste口味；sense感觉，感官；place地点。should后给出指导性建议，故本句用“have a good sense of”，意为 “对有敏锐的洞察力”，故选C项。14C考查名词辨析。句意：同上题。collections收集；assumptions猜测；expectati
27、ons期待；conditions条件。结合上下文可知，此处是指家长希望孩子可以完成多少家务活，故用“期待”符合语境，故选C项。15D考查连词辨析。句意：孩子们需要在家庭中有规矩和责任，否则他们不会学会承担责任。and并且； but但是；for因为；or否则，或者。结合上下文可知，此处是指如果孩子在家里没有规矩和责任，他们就学不会承担责任，故用“否则”符合语境，故选D项。.语法填空As we all know, Columbus was a great explorer.He left Spain in September 1492, 1._ (look) for gold.Native Ame

31、ure, many people are able to enjoy lots of tasty food.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。介绍了哥伦布航行归来所带回的植物以及这些植物对人类生活的影响。1looking考查现在分词。句意：众所周知，哥伦布是一位伟大的探险家。他于1492年9月离开西班牙，寻找黄金。分析句子可知，He与look在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词looking。2plants考查名词复数。句意：哥伦布在那次旅行中发现了很少的金子，但他收集了许多植物，包括玉米，把它们带回了西班牙。many修饰名词复数，所以应填plants。3more 考查形容词比较级。句意：哥伦布不认识
32、玉米，但是玉米比黄金有价值的多。由“than”可知，应用valuable的比较级more valuable。4immediately考查词形转化。句意：从欧洲到亚洲的农民都立即接受了玉米。修饰动词accept应用副词。故填immediately。5feeds考查主谓一致。句意：今天，它养活了全世界数百万人。由“today”可知，本句为一般现在时，主语为it，所以谓语为feeds。6of考查介词。A great deal of是固定短语，意为“大量的；许多的”，常用于修饰不可数名词。故填of。7were used/had been used考查被动语态。句意：在中美洲，巧克力豆如此珍贵，以至于2
33、00年来一直被用作现金使用。主语they和动词use是被动关系，此处用被动语态。由时间状语“for 200 years ”可知，本句为一般过去时或者过去完成时，所以填were used/had been used。8however考查连词。句意：然而，它们最终成了许多受欢迎食物的基本食材。分析句子可知，本句句意与前一句西红柿和土豆过了很长一段时间才受人们欢迎形成转折关系。又根据前后的标点符号，所以填however。9to imagine考查不定式。句意：很难想象没有油炸土豆和巧克力的生活。本句为“itbeadj.to do sth.”固定句型。其中it作形式主语，真正的主语为后面的动词不定式。故填to imagine。10to考查固定短语。句意：多亏了美洲原住居民的文化，许多人才能够享受到许多美味的食物。thanks to意为“多亏”为固定短语。故填to。
