Answer 1

 [主旨大意]文章主要介紹了西班牙國會通過了一項(xiàng)法律草案，要求兒童在家必須做家務(wù)。草案

如果正式通過，孩子不做家務(wù)將屬于違法。已婚男子也必須做家務(wù)，否則會受到懲罰。最后同中國的情況進(jìn)行了比較。

1. be required根據(jù)本句中的關(guān)鍵詞by law可知用被動語態(tài)。

2. join have to后接動詞原形。

3. includes句意：那包括家務(wù)活和家里的其他勞動。主語為that ,所以動詞要用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。

4. called根據(jù)后面的名字，可知此處用過去分詞called作后置定語。

5. doing介詞with后面要用動名詞形式。

6. better根據(jù)本句中的關(guān)鍵詞than可知句子應(yīng)用比較級。

7. to do refuse to do sth.意為"拒絕做某事"。

8. kinds句意：兒童在不同的年齡應(yīng)該學(xué)做不同的家務(wù)活。

different kinds of意為"不同種類的"。

9. impossible根據(jù)本句中的關(guān)鍵詞but可知對中國兒童還幾乎是不可能的。 

10. usual根據(jù)本句中的關(guān)鍵詞housework可 知應(yīng)用形容詞來修飾。 

11. have protected根據(jù)本句中的關(guān)鍵詞since 可知主句應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時。 

12. themselves句意：孩子應(yīng)該意識到他們是家庭中的一員，并且有責(zé)任照顧他們自己和家庭成員。
