Answer 1

分析 文章對(duì)于給孩子多少零花錢合適這件事情給出一些建議．

解答 C B E F D
16．C 上下文語境．根據(jù)前句So how much is appropriate？到底該給多少零花錢合適？再結(jié)合后句You can start by listing items…列一個(gè)清單…推出，可以讓孩子參與進(jìn)來決定零花錢的數(shù)量，故選C．
17．B 上下文語境．根據(jù)第一句話It is important that you don't hand out extra money throughout the week不給多余的零花錢這是重要的，這樣可以幫組他們預(yù)算，但是要做到這點(diǎn)很不容易，故選B．
18．E  上下文語境．從后面一句話At least one task should be for the general household推出，前句應(yīng)該是進(jìn)行某個(gè)任務(wù)讓孩子自己賺零花錢，所以選項(xiàng)E里的The task 提示答案，故選E．
19．F 上下文語境．根據(jù)后句No matter how difficult it is for you to not give the pocket money if the agreed tasks are not completed，you must stick to the agreement對(duì)于父母來說，不管多難都不要放棄給零花錢，只要任務(wù)沒有完成，必須要堅(jiān)持協(xié)議，所以父母要堅(jiān)持貫徹執(zhí)行，故選F．
20．D 上下文語境．根據(jù)keep a close watch on how they are managing their money可知對(duì)于孩子的零花錢父母要監(jiān)管，故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇選句填空閱讀，題目主要考查上下文內(nèi)容聯(lián)系以及文章內(nèi)容理解．做題時(shí)學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項(xiàng)含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)．
