Question

阅读理解How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were yo

Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved. It is impossible that he will ever again
in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for
older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being
punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live
comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break
the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself
his own position in society.

Answer 1

阅读理解:1.D 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.C
1.从文末的最后一句话可以看出:当一个人长大了以后,如果他不惹事,努力工作,并且保持健康,那么他会获得幸福,"长大"表明他有了很多经验.如果仅仅是长大了,并不能保证他不犯错误,所以C不合适.
2.从第一段可以看出:一个人小时候不用考虑为他人的给予而回报,即不用考虑过多事情,不用承担过多责任.
3.从But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.可以看出.
4.第一段讲到life is always presenting new things to the child,任何事情对于他们来说都是新的.
5.最后一句话没有提到wealth.
选择题:1.A 2.D 3.C 4.A 5.B
1.后半句话可以看作I became a doctor on that day. on that day=on which(that day在之前已经出现过)=when
2.living指“活着的，充满生气的”，而lonely带有一点感情色彩，但前后并没有对这条鱼是否是孤单的有描述，所以选living更好。
3.exchange ```with与```交换（意见），交流
4.the highest mountain是被比较的，用被动
5.break down坏掉，hold up使阻挡，turn down拒绝，take over接管
