50.messages【分析】本文为说明文。一项研究表明，现在的大部分成年人小时候都做过家务，而现在的大部分孩子不像以前的孩子那样做很多家务了。而研究证明，从小做家务的孩子们长大之后会在家庭、学校和社会上表现更好，而且更独立。所以父母要培养孩子们从小做家务的习惯。【41题详解】考查副词。句意：最近的一项研究表明，大多数成年人在年轻时主动做家务。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰谓语动词，修饰动词要用副词，所以要用active的副词形式actively。【42题详解】考查冠词。此处的“study”就是上文提到的“study”，是特指，故用定冠词the表示特指。【43题详解】考查固定搭配。句意：今天的父母希望他们的孩子把更多的时间花在能给他们带来金钱和荣誉的东西上。spendsth.onsth.为固定搭配，意为“把….花在….上“。可知此处填介词on。【44题详解】考查固定搭配。句意：他们已经停止做被证明能带来成功的事情。那就是做家务。根据语境可知，这里说的是“停止做某事”，而不是“停下来去做某事”，故用stopdoingsth.【45题详解】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中引导定语从句，先行词为kids，关系代词在从句中作主语，因此本空填who/that。【46题详解】考查固定句型。句意：在3岁到4岁开始做家务的年轻人更有可能成功。belikelytodosth.为固定句型，意为“某人有可能做某事“，所以本处要填tosucceed。故用不定式tosucceed。【47题详解】考查固定句型。句意：据说个人幸福来自于牢固的人际关系。本句含有“besaid＋动词不定式”结构，且这里说的是现在的一般情况，主语为Personalhappiness，因此填issaid。【48题详解】考查形容词做表语。本空应填形容词helpful与kind并列作表语。故填helpful。【49题详解】考查固定句式。句意：如果你的孩子说他们不得不停止做家务，因为现在是他们做家庭作业的时候了。It'stime(that)

为固定句型中，that从句要用虚拟语气，即从句谓语用一般过去式或“should＋do”，其中should不可以省略，故填dealt/shoulddeal。【50题详解】考查名词的复数。message是可数名词，其前没有冠词，故要用其复数形式messages。【点睛】It'stime…句型是中学英语里使用频率较高的句型，其意为“该是……的时候了”。It's（high/about）time+that从句时，that可省略，time可由high,about修饰，从句中的谓语动词有两种形式，或者用动词的过去式(be用were)；或者用shoud+动词原形（should不能省略)。此句型为虚拟语气句型，表示“现在某人该做某事了”。含有该事早该去做而未做，现在去做似乎都为时已晚的意思。例：

It'shightimethatthearticlewerepublished.发表这篇文章是适时的。

It'stimeyoushoulddocleaning.

你该去打扫卫生了。Itistimethat…正是干……的时候了，high/about只是对time的强调。从句谓语动词要用过去式或用should加动词原形，但should不可省略。如“孩子们早该睡觉了”，有两种译法：Itistimethatthechildrenwenttobed.孩子们该睡觉了。Itishightimethatthechildrenshouldgotobed.该是孩子们上床睡觉的时候了。20.短文填词（共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分）阅读下面短文,根据以下提示：1）汉语提示,2）首字母提示,3）语境提示,在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词,并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。所填单词要求意义准确,拼写正确。OrganizedbytheStudents’Union,wewatchedthenewly-releasedsci-fictionmovie----2012last______(星期三)evening.Inthemovie,the
