Question

【題目】Do people travel to the other side of the globe until a one-year-old baby? Is it a smart idea? I wonder if I was crazy. I had various adventures—hut this trip would be different. This South American adventure would be a unique life experience of mine. I had given up many activities in order to please a little person, because Anders’ needs had to come first. At 30 years old, it was a difficult change for me, and I was occasionally annoyed when I realized that my son had taken away so many things from me.

Argentina is a long way from my home. It was even longer when I was on the plane and sharing a seal with such an active little boy, but Anders and I made it without angering any other passengers or getting any dirty looks. And we look a rest on a regular schedule.

I wanted to do some hikes in Argentina and drive ten hours to the coast to see penguins. However, when I thought about my travel partner, I gave up these ideas. Instead, we just hung out by lakes, picking up stones and throwing them in the water. I took short hikes, running with Anders in die backpack, knowing that I had two hours before his tolerance gave out and the complaining started.

I discovered that traveling with a baby opens new doors that aren’t there for a solo traveler or couple. Anders helped me to slow down and look at the landscape closely. I got to see Argentina through someone else’s eyes. The traveling wasn’t as fast-paced as it would have been if I had been alone, but the details were amazing. Now I just have to absorb that insight into our life back home.

【解析】作者在30歲到來(lái)的時(shí)候開(kāi)始抱怨她的孩子耽誤了她的生活，在一次和孩子一起的旅行中，她發(fā)現(xiàn)有了孩子在一起，她可以注意到很多以前沒(méi)有注意到的細(xì)節(jié)和許多之前沒(méi)有留意的風(fēng)景，最后改變了想法，愿意與孩子一起感受生活。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第一段的At 30 years old, it was a difficult change for me, and I was occasionally annoyed when I realized that my son had taken away so many things from me即在30歲的時(shí)候，這對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)艱難的轉(zhuǎn)變，當(dāng)我意識(shí)到我的兒子從我身邊奪走了太多的東西時(shí)，我偶爾會(huì)感到惱火，可知她為了她的兒子放棄了太多，故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中第二段的 It was even longer when I was on the plane and sharing a seat with such an active little boy即我和另一個(gè)活潑的小男孩分享一個(gè)seat，故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從最后一段的. Anders helped me to slow down and look at the landscape closely. I got to see Argentina through someone else’s eyes即她和她的孩子一起看風(fēng)景，所以是她想和孩子一起分享，故選D。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段的 The traveling wasn’t as fast-paced as it would have been if I had been alone, but the details were amazing. Now I just have to absorb that insight into our life back home即這次旅行不像我獨(dú)自一人那樣快，但細(xì)節(jié)卻驚人�，F(xiàn)在我必須把這種洞察力融入我們的生活，所以她建議旅行者一起享受旅行中的細(xì)節(jié)，故選C。
