Question

【題目】

Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.

“Every house is a team effort, ” Jane said. “A home is the living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean. ”

Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.

Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (數(shù)碼的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards, ” says Joe Black, the founder of ChoreMonster.

“Kids need positive (積極的) power to make them do chores. ”

關于孩子做家務是否應該得到報酬持有兩種不同的觀點：有的人認為金錢或其他獎勵會鼓勵孩子們做更多的家務，也可以了解父母是如何辛苦工作掙錢的。但也有些人認為孩子做家務不應該得到報酬。他們認為如果孩子得到獎勵，他們可能會認為工作不值得做，除非他們得到報酬，不利于培養(yǎng)孩子的自覺性。

詞義猜測題是閱讀理解中常見的一種題型，所猜測詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內容。詞義猜測題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測詞義和語義的能力，突出考查對語境的分析和把握能力。常見的猜詞法有：(1)利用上下文語境。猜測任何詞義都離不開上下文，所以要借助上下文對需要猜測的詞或短語進行合乎邏輯的推測。 (2)利用定義或解釋性的線索。閱讀文章中的有些生詞往往在其后會有對該詞進行解釋說明的短語或句子，利用它們猜詞義較容易 (3)利用文章的邏輯關系答題。如并列、對比、因果、轉折關系等。這些邏輯關系往往通過一些相應的詞或短語表達出來，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用構詞法知識答題。熟記一些前綴、后綴所表達的意思，不僅可以擴大詞匯量，而且?guī)椭�我們猜測詞義。第2小題的詞義猜測題就是利用第1種解題方法。
