A．unfair B．fair C．lucky D．right
【答案】A
【详解】句意：让他一个人做每件事似乎对他不公平。
考查形容词。unfair不公平的；fair公平的；lucky幸运的；right正确的。“It”是形式主语，真正的主语是
“to make him do everything alone”。根据“make him do everything alone”可知句子表达“让他一个人做每件
事”是“不公平的”，用形容词“unfair”作表语。故选A。

(4)参考范文
A
Dear Sir,
I think that children should learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. Nowadays, most of
them depend on their parents too much. Doing chores can help develop their independence and teach them how to
look after themselves.
Since children live in one house with their parents, they should share the housework to have a clean and tidy
home.
Yours truly,
__________
B
Dear Sir,
I think we should help parents do some chores.
First, after a whole day’s work, our parents must be very tired. If we help them with the housework, they’ll feel
quite happy and pleased. And by doing housework, we will know how hard it is for our parents to go to work
everyday while raising a family. We will make even greater efforts in our study later on.
Second, doing housework can not only train in our abilities, but also help us make a sense of responsibility.
There is a lot of housework in each family. As a member of the family, each of us should share housework with our
parents. We can realize we’re members of our families through the housework.Finally, doing some housework can give us a chance to do some physical exercises. Since the students have to
sit most of the time,doing housework is certainly beneficial to our health.
So, I think it is necessary for us to do some housework.
Yours truly,
__________

【答案】例文
Is it necessary for students to do housework at home? We did a survey about this. According to the result, we
knew most of the students (about 70%) thought it was not necessary for students to do housework. They thought it
was the job of their parents. As students, their duty was to study hard. They had no time to do housework because
of their heavy homework. On the other hand, some students (about 30%) thought it was good for them to do
housework. Because they could learn a lot by doing it, and knew how hard their parents were. I think we students
should spend some time on housework, no matter how busy we are.

【答案】例文：
Dear Sir or Madam,
I think that teenagers like me should help our parents with housework.
First, doing housework makes us independent. We can’t depend on our parents all the time. So we should learn
how to take care of ourselves now.
Second, doing housework is a kind of physical exercise. It helps us stay healthy and strong.
Third, since we live in a house with our parents, it’s fair for us to work together and make the house clean and
comfortable.
All in all, doing housework helps us to learn life skills and understand the idea of fairness. So I think teenagers
should learn to enjoy doing it with our parents.
Yours truly,
Lisa
