9.When you are little,the whole world feels like a big playground.I was living in Conyers,Georgia the summer it all happened.I was a second grader,but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade.Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement.As I opened the basement door,before us lay the biggest room,full of amazing things like guns,dolls,and old clothes.I ran downstairs,and spotted a red steel can.It was paint.I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple,orange,blue and green.
"Stephanie,I just found us a project for the day.Get some paintbrushes.We are fixing to paint."She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work.We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard.There on the road in front of my house,we painted big stripes ( 條紋) of colors across the pavement (人行道).Stripe by stripe,our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow.It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink.I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car.It was my mother.I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face,I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
My mother shut the ear door and walked towards me.Her eyes glaring,she shouted,"What in the world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves,and climbed the neighbors'trees,but this!Come inside right now!"I stood there glaring back at her for a minute,angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.
"Now go clean it up!"Mother and I began cleaning the road.Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
Though years have now passed,I still wonder where my rainbow has gone.I wonder if,maybe when I get older,I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

分析 文章大意:作者通過對(duì)自己童年的經(jīng)歷的描寫,說明我們需要各種各樣的彩虹來照亮我們的人生,并使我們的夢(mèng)想多姿多彩.作者小時(shí)候開心的畫彩虹,后來被母親要求把街道清洗干凈,作者寫作的最終想要表達(dá)的目的之一是:父母應(yīng)該支持孩子的某些創(chuàng)造性的行為,而不是一味的否定.父母要善于呵護(hù)孩子的夢(mèng)想,不然的話,會(huì)讓孩子難過的.
解答 41.D 細(xì)節(jié)題理解.從文章中的"I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece."可以知道,作者是迫不及待地想象母親展示自己的杰作.
42.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章的"Her eyes glaring,she shouted,"What in the world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves,and climbed the neighbors'trees,but this!Come inside right now!""可以看出,在媽媽眼里,作者總是惹麻煩,造城堡、爬鄰居家大樹,現(xiàn)在又亂涂亂畫.
43.C 詞義猜測(cè)題.從文章最后一段可以看出來,在作者眼中,兒時(shí)畫的雨虹是非常美的,富有想象力,承載著夢(mèng)想和美好寄托.
44.D 推理判斷題.從文章中的"angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art."可以知道,父母要善于呵護(hù)孩子的夢(mèng)想,不然的話,會(huì)讓孩子難過.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 在引出話題,講完一件事情后,作者往往會(huì)表達(dá)個(gè)人感悟或提出建議等.這些體現(xiàn)作者觀點(diǎn)或思想的語句在閱讀時(shí)可以劃線,它們往往體現(xiàn)文章中心或者寫作意圖,屬于必考點(diǎn),所以要仔細(xì)體會(huì).
