（2026·浙江杭州拱墅区期末）① This month, the charity Parentkind made a survey among about 6, 000 UK parents and found that fewer than half of children under the age of 15 help with chores. The most common chore that children usually do is tidying their bedrooms. Then come making their beds, cleaning around the home and doing the dishes.
② Yet Jason Elsom, the head of Parentkind, believes that children benefit from doing certain housework. “Chores are the first lessons in teamwork, responsibility and self-reliance,” he said. Helping out around the house teaches children important life skills. It will help make them feel more independent and confident when they're older.
③ Besides, looking after a home should be a team effort. Adults already have lots of things to do, so children should help them out. Moreover, doing chores together can be fun, especially if they make a game out of it. It also shows children's care for other people.
④ However, some people argue that children already have lots of other things they need to do, such as homework, activities and clubs. Doing chores on top of all that could make them feel stressed and tired. And free time is for relaxing, playing, exploring and hanging out with friends, not for doing boring housework. Besides, children might not know how to do the housework as well as adults. It could take them a long time to do it, or they might not do it properly. Some adults might have to do some of the tasks, which would take twice as long. It would just be easier and quicker for the adults to do it themselves instead.
⑤ What do you think? Should children help around the home? (①=Paragraph 1)
()26. What's the structure of this text?
答案:B

答案:B
答案：B
解析：
【分析】首先明确文章各段落的功能：第①段通过慈善机构Parentkind的调查，引出“15岁以下孩子做家务”的话题；第②③段分别从不同角度阐述孩子做家务的益处（如培养团队合作、责任感、生活技能等）；第④段转折，阐述反对孩子做家务的理由（如孩子已有作业等任务，做家务会增加压力、效率低等）。整体结构是“总（引出话题）-分（分述支持与反对观点）”，对应选项B的图示结构。
【解析】文章结构梳理：①段为总起段，引出核心话题“孩子是否应该做家务”；②③段为一组，阐述支持孩子做家务的理由；④段为另一组，阐述反对的观点。选项B的结构是①作为总起，下分②③④三个分支，符合文章的总分结构，因此选B。
【答案】B
【知识点】文章结构分析，议论文结构
【点评】本题考查英语议论文的结构分析，需准确区分段落间的逻辑关系（总起、分述、转折），难度中等。
【难度系数】0.5
