【解析】

试题分析：很多人认为老师给孩子们布置了太多的作业，他们认为在家里孩子们没有必要做作业。此外，这些人还认为老师应该对家庭作业进行更好的设计和安排。现在在一些国家已经开始取消家庭作业，比如西班牙和土耳其。

1.考查副词。 修饰动词plan应该用副词形式，故填properly。

2. done 考查谓语动词。根据already和语境可知应该用现在完成时，主语是they，所以填have done。

3. 考查冠词。固定短语：a waste of time“浪费时间”，填a。

4. /that 考查关系代词。定语从句缺少主语，先行词是countries，故用that或者which引导定语从句。

5. 考查名词。Other后面需要跟复数名词，填countries。

6. stay 考查非谓语动词。固定短语：allow sb to do sth“允许某人做某事”，答案填to stay。

7. 考查名词。此处是缺少主语，由此判断应该用名词形式，填arrangement。

8.考查形容词。根据句中的than可以确定用比较级，填better。

9. 考查形容词。修饰名词room应该用形容词，故答案填noisy。

10. 考查介词。固定短语：take no interest in“对……不感兴趣”，故填in。

考点：考查语法填空
