Question

【題目】How hard we all pray(祈禱) to grow up quickly,and look forward to the happy days of being a grown-up(成人), and enjoy the many interests that a youth should have.

At last,you grow up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady". You then enjoy being a young lady. You are proud (驕傲) of being a grown-up teenager. People welcome you--this young lady warmly. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.

But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say, "Papa and Mama, give me some money please. My pocket money is all gone (用完) already."

"No," they say, "Your age is dangerous. If you have too much money to spend, it won't do you any good." Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.

Another time you tell your grandma, "Grandma, see,I am a grown-up now."

"Good,now, you can sit here and knit (編織) this for me when I go and have a rest. "To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work,which only a grown-up can do. After an hour,you find it hard to do, and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes (批評 ) your work. You hear what she says, "Such a big girl can't do such easy work." You wish then you were a child again.

But the fact is, you are growing up, and you can't help it. That's the way it goes.

【解析】

小的時候我們都盼著長大，覺得成人的日子是快樂的。但真的是這樣嗎？長大之后我們也會遇到很多問題，有很多煩惱，這個時候我們又想回到小時候了。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中At last, you grow up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady".可知，作者是一個渴望長大的女孩，但真的長大之后，也會遇到很多問題。因此應(yīng)選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第一段How hard we all pray(祈禱) to grow up quickly,and look forward to the happy days of being a grown-up(成人), and enjoy the many interests that a youth should have.可知，作者渴望快點長大，盼望著成人的快樂的日子。由此可猜測她覺得她現(xiàn)在的生活還不夠快樂。故應(yīng)選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中People welcome you--this young lady warmly. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.可知，人們都把她當(dāng)做了成年人，所以作者覺得她的祈禱得到了回應(yīng)。故應(yīng)選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中作者父母所說的話"No," they say, "Your age is dangerous. If you have too much money to spend, it won't do you any good."可知，父母不給她太多的零花錢，覺得她的這個年齡很危險。因此父母仍然是把她當(dāng)作孩子來對待。故應(yīng)選D。

【5】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work,which only a grown-up can do.可知，作者答應(yīng)幫助奶奶做編織的工作，因為她想要證明自己不再是一個孩子，而是一個成年人了。故應(yīng)選B。

這篇短文給我們講述了作者，一個十幾歲的女孩想要快點長大，而真正長大了也會遇到很多煩惱。短文中舉了生活中的例子來說明文章的話題，比較易于我們的理解。閱讀時，注意體會作者的寫作意圖和感受。后面的題目設(shè)置有推理判斷題和細節(jié)理解題。細節(jié)題考查我們對文章某處事實信息的理解，答案常可以直接在原文找到。例如第5小題，根據(jù)題目中help her grandma do some knitting這一信息我們可以定位到原文的第六段，根據(jù)這一段中To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work, which only a grown-up can do.可知，作者答應(yīng)幫助奶奶做編織的工作，因為她想要證明自己不再是一個孩子，而是一個成年人了。故應(yīng)選B。推理判斷題則需要我們根據(jù)文章的事實信息進行合理的推測和判斷，例如第1小題，根據(jù)短文中At last, you grow up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady".可知，作者長大后，人們就會稱呼她為“年輕的女士”，由此可知作者是一個渴望長大的十幾歲的女孩，因此應(yīng)選B。
