Question

【題目】Anna used to wake you up on Sunday morning when you wanted to stay in bed，but now you feel strange if she gets up before lunch.She used to be very quiet，but now she talks all the time—but not to you.She used to hold your hand when you went to visit your friends.Now she doesn't even want to be seen with you when you go to visit your friends.Your Anna might spend hours on the phone or in the bathroom now.At the same time Nick next door has become quiet and dirty.He used to be very polite.Now a simple conversation with Nick becomes very difficult.You've gone from a hero to the most embarrassing adult in the world.Your child has become a teenager!

What makes adolescence(青春期) so difficult？Physical(身體上的) and emotional changes are the reasons that make them change so much.When they are young，children live in a safe and simple land called “childhood”．Parents organize their lives.Parents choose children's clothes，take them to places，and spend time with them.They're there with the children when there is a problem.As children get older，however，they learn about another land—an exciting land，called “adulthood”．Sooner or later their hormones(荷爾蒙) push them into the open sea—away from the safe land or childhood.Adolescence，then，is the journey from childhood to adulthood.Some find the journey quite easy.For others，it's very difficult.

【解析】這篇短文給我們介紹的是孩子們從童年時期成長到青春期，身體和心理上回發(fā)生很大的變化，短文作者用舉例的手法展示了孩子們身上發(fā)生的一些變化，然后分析了這些變化發(fā)生的原因。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第一段的最后和第二段的開頭Your child has become a teenager!

What makes adolescence(青春期) so difficult？可知，這篇短文介紹的是如何對待處于青春期的孩子。因此這篇文章寫的是青少年們，故應(yīng)選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。短文第一段的前半部分寫了Anna的變化，根據(jù)Your Anna might spend hours on the phone or in the bathroom now可知，她現(xiàn)在花費很多時間講電話，而過去不是這個樣子的，故D不是Anna過去的樣子，選D。根據(jù)She used to be very quiet、 Anna used to wake you up on Sunday morning when you wanted to stay in bed，but now you feel strange if she gets up before lunch.、She used to hold your hand when you went to visit your friends.可知，A、B和C都是Anna過去的樣子。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段的內(nèi)容She used to hold your hand when you went to visit your friends. Now she doesn't even want to be seen with you when you go to visit your friends…Now a simple conversation with Nick becomes very difficult.可知，孩子在長大的時候，他們不愿意和父母在一起，身體、情感上都發(fā)生了變化。因此A、B和C三個選項都是對的，選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段內(nèi)容中Sooner or later their hormones(荷爾蒙) push them into the open sea—away from the safe land or childhood.可知，孩子們從童年時期到青春期，會發(fā)生很大的變化，這是荷爾蒙促使他們發(fā)生了變化。故應(yīng)選B。

【5】主旨大意題。這篇短文給我們介紹的是孩子們從童年時期成長到青春期，身體和心理上回發(fā)生很大的變化，文章開頭用舉例的手法展示了孩子們身上發(fā)生的一些變化，然后分析了這些變化發(fā)生的原因。因此A選項：從童年時期到青春期的變化這個題目最符合文意。
