10、很多家务了。1. 【解析】actively。考查词性转换。修饰谓语动词did, 要用副词形式actively。2. 【解析】the。考查冠词。此处的“study”就是上文提到的那个“A recent study”, 故用定冠词the表示特指。3. 【解析】on。考查固定搭配。根据固定搭配spend sth. on sth. 可知, 此处填介词on。4. 【解析】doing。考查非谓语。根据语境可知, 这里说的是“停止做某事”, 故用stop doing sth. 搭配。5. 【解析】who/that。考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知, 空白处在句中引导定语从句, 先行词为kids, 关系代词在从

11、句中作主语, 因此本空填who/that。6. 【解析】to succeed。考查固定搭配。此处是be likely to do sth. 句型, 故填不定式。7. 【解析】is said。考查时态主谓一致。本句为“be said+动词不定式”结构, 且这里说的是现在的一般情况, 主语为Personal happiness, 因此填is said。8. 【解析】helpful。考查词性转换。本空应填形容词helpful, 与kind并列作表语。9. 【解析】dealt/should deal。考查虚拟语气。Its time(that). . . 句型中, that从句要用虚拟语气, 即从句谓语

12、用一般过去时或should+do, 其中should不可以省略。10. 【解析】messages。考查名词单复数。message是可数名词, 故要用其复数形式。. 完形填空 As I held my fathers hands one night, I couldnt help but notice their calluses(老茧)and roughness.
