So we should try to live life to the fullest and enjoy every bit of it.”可知人生沒有回頭路，而且非常短暫，我們要努力享受生活的一點一滴。我們不能浪費生活，要珍惜生活給我們的一切，故選C。 （2）考查段落大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“But among these, the arts provide an easy and natural way for people to connect.”可知藝術(shù)可以很自然地把不同背景的人聯(lián)系在一起，故選D。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的“People with a knack for the arts usually discover it in childhood. ”可知在童年時期有藝術(shù)天賦地人就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)自己這方面的才能。與“But art isn39。t only for the talented。 it can help everyone grow. ”藝術(shù)不僅對有才能的人有好處，它可以幫助所有成長，是一致的。劃線詞knack意為”ability/talent“，故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意?？v觀全文可知，本文介紹的是藝術(shù)如何影響人們的生活的內(nèi)容，故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷，詞義猜測，段落大意和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解 Children should do housework. That39。s a controversial idea, though not everyone will admit it. A few parents will declare that their children are too busy for housework. Many more of us assign housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn39。t get done. That39。s a problem. For starters, housework is good for kids. Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others, while at the same time contributing to their emotional wellbeing. One small study, done over a period of 25 years, found that the best predictor for young adults success in their mid20s was whether they participated in household tasks at age 3 or 4. Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives. But for all that their help matters, few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1, 000 American adults, 75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids more responsible. Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework. Sports and homework are not getoutofhouseworkfree cards. The goal, after all, is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and munities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose. Housework teaches that balance. What should you do when getting children to do housework? Accept no excuses. Don39。t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you39。re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you39。re doing it right. Can an allowance help? Maybe. But if you39。re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for routine housework is not the right message.（1）What is most parents39。 problem with children doing housework?

Many more of us assign housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn39。t get done.”一些父母會說他們的孩子太忙了，沒有時間做家務(wù)。我們中更多的人會分配家務(wù)，或說我們相信他們，但家務(wù)就是做不完?？芍贁?shù)家長覺得孩子學(xué)業(yè)太忙無暇做家務(wù)，但多數(shù)家長即便認為孩子該做家務(wù)，實際生活中也沒有很好地付諸實踐?？芍獙Υ蠖鄶?shù)父母來說讓孩子做家務(wù)存在的問題是他們沒有把它付諸實踐。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.”那些早期共同承擔(dān)的責(zé)任擴展到了他們生活的其他領(lǐng)域?？芍恼略诘诙谓榻B了孩子做家務(wù)的好處，第三段用一項研究具體闡釋了第二段的內(nèi)容。該研究表明，孩子幼時做家務(wù)預(yù)示著成年后較早成功，因為做家務(wù)過程中培養(yǎng)出的責(zé)任感會遷移到生活的其他方面?？芍髡咛岬窖芯渴菫榱俗C明讓孩子做家務(wù)是有益的。故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework.”然而，82%的人稱自己在成長過程中經(jīng)常做家務(wù)，而只有56%的有孩子的人稱自己需要孩子做家務(wù)?？芍?，參與調(diào)查的1000個人中，82%的人說自己成長過程中經(jīng)常做家務(wù)，即有820人小時候做過家務(wù)。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。最后一段中的“What should you do when getting children to do housework?”要讓孩子做家務(wù)時你應(yīng)該做什么?，是本段的主題句，作者在本段就“
