【解析】

试题分析：该类试题主要考察考生的单词水平和语法水平。做题时要注意单词的时态和单复数。以及词语搭配、冠词、连词等的使用。

【1】However考察连词。However这里是一个表示转折的连词，表示然而，该句意思为：然而，带孩子去一个好地方可以鼓励他们在学校表现的更好。

【2】OF考察介词。考察介词。Of是一个介词，表示从属，关于。该小句意思为：研究调查了一万个小学生

【3】at考察固定短语。固定短语Look at表示盯着看，该句意思为：首席研究者Burgess博士表明研究并没有针对那些能促使孩子们努力的东西。

【4】That/which考察定语从句。The things是先行词，定语从句中缺少主语，故用that或者which来引导定语从句。该句意思为：首席研究者Burgess博士表明研究并没有针对那些能促使孩子们努力的东西。

【5】little考察联系上下文。博士补充说，很明显一些孩子相信教育是能够实现他们梦想的一个方法，但是还有一些孩子认为努力起不了多少作用。因为该句是表示转折，所以要用little。

【6】may/might考察情态动词。May和might都表示推测和猜测的意思。这里指这些孩子可能认为考试的成功是因为基因和他们的家庭背景。

【7】What考察主语从句。这里是一个表语从句中的主语从句，what really matters在句中做主语，问事情用疑问词what进行提问。

【8】Than考察固定短语。固定短语Better than表示比…好。该句意思为：好的老师比奖励更好，尤其是对于那些低收入家庭的孩子来说。
