Butartisn'tonlyforthetalented;itcanhelpeveryonegrow.”艺术不仅对有才能的人有好处，它可以帮助所有成长，是一致的。划线词knack意为”ability/talent“，故选B。（4）考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍的是艺术如何影响人们的生活的内容，故选C。【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，词义猜测，段落大意和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。6．阅读理解

责任扩展到了他们生活的其他领域。可知文章在第二段介绍了孩子做家务的好处，第三段用一项研究具体阐释了第二段的内容。该研究表明，孩子幼时做家务预示着成年后较早成功，因为做家务过程中培养出的责任感会迁移到生活的其他方面。可知作者提到研究是为了证明让孩子做家务是有益的。故选C。（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Yetwhile82percentreportedhavinghadregularhouseworkgrowingup,only56percentofthosewithchildrensaidtheyrequiredthemtodohousework.”然而，82%的人称自己在成长过程中经常做家务，而只有56%的有孩子的人称自己需要孩子做家务。可知，参与调查的1000个人中，82%的人说自己成长过程中经常做家务，即有820人小时候做过家务。故选A。（4）考查推理判断。最后一段中的“Whatshouldyoudowhengettingchildrentodohousework?”要让孩子做家务时你应该做什么?，是本段的主题句，作者在本段就“如何让孩子参与到家务事中”向家长提供了建议。可知作者写的最后一段是给父母一些关于分配孩子做家务的建议。故选D。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。7．阅读理解
