详析
1. B父母让孩子在家里做一些简单或有趣的家务。与句中interesting —致,与下句中hard形成对比,故easy “简单 的”符合文意。difficult“难的”;busy“忙碌的”;bad“糟糕的”。
2. A父母也会让孩子们做一些难的或无聊的家务。与上句中ask sb. to do在意义上保持一致,故want“想”符合文 意。help“帮助”;need“需要”;take“带着”。
3. D孩子做了家务,父母会给一些零花钱。综合比较四个名词,housework“家务”与句中pocket money有必然的 因果联系,符合文意。study “学习”;party “聚会”; homework “家庭作业”。
4. B孩子们通过做家务享受得到的报酬。综合比较四个动词,enjoy“享受”与宾语money搭配,表达的信息符合 文意。make“制造”;find“发现”;buy“购买”。
5. A奥巴马总统说他每周只给两个女儿一美元。that引导的句子是奥巴马表述的内容,故动词say符合文意, think“认为”;hope“希望”;hear“听说”。
6. C该句与上句“父亲给女儿零花钱”之间是因果关系,因此because“因为”符合文意。
7. C综合四个选项,只有clean up their bedroom属于做家务的范畴。bedroom意为“卧室”,符合语境。
C可是两个孩子很高兴能赚到零花钱。第二段开始的时候奥巴马提到了自己的两个女儿,综合四个选项, children符合文意。
9. A她们用钱买自己喜欢的书和食物。指代不可数名词money ,因此代词it符合文意。
10. D奥巴马希望女儿们学会一些管理钱财的技巧。宾语是money-management skills“管理钱财的技巧”,综合 四个动词,earn “学习”符合文意。
