Question

【题目】How hard we all pray(祈祷) 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 (骄傲) 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 (编织) 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 (批评 ) 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】

小的时候我们都盼着长大，觉得成人的日子是快乐的。但真的是这样吗？长大之后我们也会遇到很多问题，有很多烦恼，这个时候我们又想回到小时候了。

【1】推理判断题。根据短文中At last, you grow up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady".可知，作者是一个渴望长大的女孩，但真的长大之后，也会遇到很多问题。因此应选B。

【2】推理判断题。根据短文第一段How hard we all pray(祈祷) 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，作者渴望快点长大，盼望着成人的快乐的日子。由此可猜测她觉得她现在的生活还不够快乐。故应选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据短文第二段中People welcome you--this young lady warmly. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.可知，人们都把她当做了成年人，所以作者觉得她的祈祷得到了回应。故应选A。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文中作者父母所说的话"No," they say, "Your age is dangerous. If you have too much money to spend, it won't do you any good."可知，父母不给她太多的零花钱，觉得她的这个年龄很危险。因此父母仍然是把她当作孩子来对待。故应选D。

【5】细节理解题。根据短文中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，作者答应帮助奶奶做编织的工作，因为她想要证明自己不再是一个孩子，而是一个成年人了。故应选B。

这篇短文给我们讲述了作者，一个十几岁的女孩想要快点长大，而真正长大了也会遇到很多烦恼。短文中举了生活中的例子来说明文章的话题，比较易于我们的理解。阅读时，注意体会作者的写作意图和感受。后面的题目设置有推理判断题和细节理解题。细节题考查我们对文章某处事实信息的理解，答案常可以直接在原文找到。例如第5小题，根据题目中help her grandma do some knitting这一信息我们可以定位到原文的第六段，根据这一段中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，作者答应帮助奶奶做编织的工作，因为她想要证明自己不再是一个孩子，而是一个成年人了。故应选B。推理判断题则需要我们根据文章的事实信息进行合理的推测和判断，例如第1小题，根据短文中At last, you grow up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady".可知，作者长大后，人们就会称呼她为“年轻的女士”，由此可知作者是一个渴望长大的十几岁的女孩，因此应选B。
