Question

【題目】

When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground.

It was a hot afternoon and my best friend Stephanie and I decided to have an adventure in his 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 going 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 bit stripes of colors across the pavement. 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 car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What on earth 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 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 sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

【解析】

文章大意：文章通過講述小的時候在路上畫彩虹被媽媽訓斥的故事，告訴我們，在生命中我們都需要某種彩虹不時地照亮我們的人生，讓我們的希望和夢想多姿多彩。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據最后一段作者的感慨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.可知事情已經過去的多年，他依然懷念他的彩虹，希望他能重新擁有彩虹而且不被洗涮掉，推測在孩子的世界，他們希望擁有一個能隨意干任何事的地方，故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據 I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.可知當他認出是他媽媽的車時，他跳起來是因為他迫不及待地想要讓媽媽看看他的杰作，故選A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據 She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work.可知這是故事的第一個情節(jié)，根據 Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic! 可知故事的第二個情節(jié)是我們把路油漆成了彩虹。根據 I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted my art.可知故事的第三個情節(jié)是我因為母親的侮辱感到非常生氣。根據 Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.可知故事的最后情節(jié)是我流著淚開始清掃道路，故選B。

【4】回答問題。根據 Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic! 可知開始的rainbow指的是好朋友和我在路上畫的彩虹，文章最后提到的彩虹是引申義，代表孩子們的夢想，生活中有創(chuàng)造力的或者想象力的東西，孩子們想讓父母做的是尊重他們，理解他們。故答案為The rainbow first refers to the writer and his friend's masterpiece which he wanted to show to his mother. Second, it also stands for children's dream. More importantly, the rainbow in the last sentence in the passage means something creative/imaginative and fun in life.
