Question

【題目】閱讀理解
As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods,"The woods" was our part-time address, destination,purpose,and excuse.If I went to a friend's house and found him not at home,his mother might say, "Oh,he's out in the woods,"with a tone of airy acceptance.It's similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I'm looking for is on the golf course or at the gym,or even "away from his desk."For us ten-year-olds,"being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring.Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today.History seemed to be mostly about explorers.Our explorations,though,seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way.Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks,shooting frogs,picking blackberries,digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound.
Often we got "lost" and had to climb a tree to find out where we were.If you read a story in which someone does that successfully,be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight,and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees.There were four or five trees that we visited regularly—tall beeches,easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree,too,that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end.By then some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence.In March,the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter,two friends and I set out to go exploring.We climbed a tree,and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree.Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.

【解析】文章主要講述了作者小時候玩耍的樹林對作者以及作者朋友們的意義。文章講述了作者與朋友在樹林中所從事的活動—探索，以及以后隨著年齡的增長，不再去那片樹林。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“As kids,my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods,"The woods" was our part-time address, destination,purpose,and excuse.”還是孩子的時候，我和朋友們在樹林里待很長時間。這片樹林是我們課外休閑的地方，目的地，借口或托辭�？芍�作者與他的朋友們在小樹林度過他們的閑暇時光。故選A。
（2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Our explorations,though,seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way.”雖然我們的探索與歷史上的相比不夠系統(tǒng)：有些東西通常都是在沿途中突然出現(xiàn)的�？芍�，作者以及朋友們的探索是無目的的。故選D。
（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks,shooting frogs,picking blackberries,digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound.”我們待在樹林里，投擲石塊，射擊青蛙，采摘黑莓，挖掘那些我們認(rèn)為是意大利人的墳冢�？芍�作者與朋友們過得很愉快。根據(jù)“It was in a tree,too,that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end.By then some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence.”在這片樹林里，我們的休閑時光結(jié)束了，我們中的一些人上了七年級開始了青春期的坎坷�？芍�在樹林中的時光又是短暫的。故選A。
