试题分析：本文介绍了不同国家不同文化中人们对待儿童家庭作业的不同态度，有家长认为家庭作业就是浪费时间。
【1】for 考查不定式复合结构。不定式符合结构：for/of sb to do sth主要是为了说明不定式动作的执行者，当前面的形容词是说明人的性格特征时，要使用of。句意：他们说在空闲时间在家里做作业是没有必要的。
【2】properly 考查副词。英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，而形容词通常做定语或表语修饰名词。本句中使用副词properly做状语修饰谓语动词do not plan the homework，意为没有合理计划家庭作业。
【3】have done 考查时态。本句中的副词already通常和完成时连用，句意：结果是小学生不得不重复他们在学校里已经完成的任务。
【4】a考查冠词。本题是一个固定短语a waste of time浪费时间。句意：父母亲说大部分的作业是浪费时间。
【5】which /that 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是two countries，关系代词which/that指代先行词在句中做主语，引导这个定语从句。
【6】to stay 考查不定式做宾语补足语。动词短语allow sb to do sth允许某人做某事；不定式对sb进行补充说明。句意：在荷兰，老师允许学生待在学校历完成家庭作业。
【7】exists 考查主谓一致。本句的主语是similar arrangement，这是一个单数名词做主语，且这一部分介绍的是欧美国家对待家庭作业的态度，都使用一般现在时，所以本空要填exists。
【8】better 考查比较级。横线有介词than，该词常常和比较级连用，所以本句中使用better than....比....更好。
【9】noisy 考查形容词。横线后面有名词room，说明横线上应该使用形容词做定语修饰该名词，名词noise的形容词形式是noisy嘈杂的。
【10】their 考查代词。本句的主语是other parents，形容词性物主代词their代替主语修饰名词children。句意：其他的父母亲根本不注意孩子的家庭作业。

For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact, until a place has a church and a pub，it isn’t really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where people gather to give and receive news. In fact, the word ‘ pub' is short for public house.
That's how it used to be, but things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit decline is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People don’t have lots of spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
This decline is happening despite the fact that in recent years the UK government has started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p. m. Previously, with 11 p. m. as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking “, and it causes some long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities. The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.
In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. Now, there are a number of different types of pubs.
As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be
working men' s clubs, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.
