Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，完成86至90题。

Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.

Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.

But some people don’t think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “①Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”

Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, ②and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ”

【5】 B

【解析】

本文就孩子做家务是否应该被奖励进行了辩论，有的家长和专家认为做家务是孩子们的一种义务，不应该被奖励，而有的家长和专家认为应该给予奖励来鼓励他们做家务。

【1】题意：根据短文内容，将划线短语“①Running any kind of housework” 译成汉语。根据第一段可知本文主要谈论做家务。可知此句Running any kind of housework is a team effort,句意是：做任何家务都是团队的努力。Run有“跑，运行，经营，管理”的意思，可知Running any kind of housework的意思是：做/处理各种各样的家务。

【2】题意：填空。句意：在这篇文章中，苏茜·沃尔顿认为孩子在家里有责任。但是克里斯·伯格曼的想法是孩子们应该通过做家务得到报酬。如果他们得到回报，就会鼓励他们做家务。根据第三段苏茜·沃尔顿说It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house,（对孩子们来说，明白在家里我们都有责任是很重要的）可知“苏茜·沃尔顿认为孩子在家里有责任。”第一个空填（1）responsibilities；根据第四段最后一句“Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ”（“我们的目标是给予孩子合法的权力，因此他们能够得到报酬，”克里斯·伯格曼说。“孩子们需要奖励帮助鼓励他们。”）可知“但是克里斯·伯格曼的想法是孩子们应该通过做家务得到报酬。如果他们得到回报，就会鼓励他们做家务。”第二和三个空填（2）got/paid/given (3). encourage.

【3】题意：请找出与. kids can get lawful power to get rewards意思相同或相近的句子。kids can get lawful power to get rewards意思是：孩子可以得到合法的权利去获得报酬。第四段最后一句克里斯·伯格曼说的Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards，这句的意思是：我们的目标是给予孩子合法的权力，因此他们能够得到报酬。可知答案是Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards.

【4】题意：将文中②and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money.划线句子翻译成汉语。本句是一个复合句，主句是it also teaches them real world lessons about，how we need to work to get money是宾语从句。它还教给他们关于我们如何需要工作赚钱的现实世界的教训。teach sb. a lesson：给某人一个教训。主句的意思是：它还教给他们关于….的现实世界的教训；从句意思是：我们如何需要工作赚钱。故此句英译汉是：它还教给他们关于我们如何需要工作赚钱的现实世界的教训。

【5】题意：哪一个是这篇文章最好的标题？考查主旨理解。A. Kids Should Study as Well as Doing Housework. 孩子不仅应该学习，还应该做家务；B. Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Housework? 孩子做家务应该得到奖励吗；C. Doing Housework Is Good for Children’s Study.

做家务对孩子的学习有好处。根据第二段最后一句Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs，we should pay kids for everyday housework．和第三段第一句由But some people don't think kids should get rewards（报酬） for doing housework可知此文是对孩子们是做家务是否应该得奖励的辩论，故这篇文章最好的标题是“孩子做家务应该得到奖励吗”，选B。
