6．In 1943，when I was 4，my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene，Idaho，to Fairbanks，Alaska，where adventure was never very far away．
We arrived in the summer，just in time to enjoy the midnight sun．All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden．Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off，so she didn't care much about my bedtime．
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk．That left me in a mess．I usually managed to find some trouble to get into．Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel．I had tried to light a barrel（桶）of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going．The smoke got pretty bad，though，and when I made my exit，a crowd and the police were there to greet me．The policemen took my matches and drove me home．
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me，and they did!I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me．I hadn't turned 5yet．
As I entered kindergarten，the serious cold began to set in．Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail（扶手）at school？
As for Leonhard Seppala，famous as a dog sledder （駕雪橇者），I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday．At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was，but I do remember the ride well．I was wrapped （包裹） heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather．
In 1950，we moved back to Coeur d'Alene，but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska．

分析 本文是一篇記敘文，在文章中作者回憶了自己童年時候發(fā)生的一件件的事情，基本都是作者惹的亂子．那時父親在鐵路部門工作，母親則是父親手下的一名職員，他們工作忙碌而無瑕顧及作者以至于他有一次點燃了一桶油漆，差點引起火災，闖下大禍．此外，在文中作者還提到了自己第一次做雪橇的美好回憶．
解答 46答案C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中第二段的"Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off，so she didn't care much about my bedtime．"可以推斷出父母當時忙于他們自己的事情，沒有時間來照顧我．故答案C正確．
47答案A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段的"I had tried to light a barrel（桶）of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going．The smoke got pretty bad，though，and when I made my exit，a crowd and the police were there to greet me．"我點燃了一桶油漆，但火并不是很大煙卻很濃，于是警察來把我?guī)ё撸源鸢高xA．
48答案C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第五段的內容"Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail（扶手）at school？"可知作者在上幼兒園的時候發(fā)生了一起事故，故答案選C．
49答案A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的"At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was，but I do remember the ride well．"可以得知在那時我并沒有意識到他是一個巨星，但是我知道Leonhard非常擅長駕雪橇．故答案A正確．
50答案A．主旨大意題．文章開頭提出自己在四歲的時候，一家人搬到了阿拉斯加，在那里他的冒險生活就開始了，然后在下文中作者回憶了在那里發(fā)生的事情，由此可知本文主要講述了作者小時候的事情，是作者對童年的回憶，故A項"回顧童年的經(jīng)歷"符合上下文含義．所以答案選A．
點評 本文是一篇記敘文．閱讀時要學會從事情本身的發(fā)展去理解故事情節(jié)而不要只看事件在文中出現(xiàn)的先后順序．因此，無論是順敘還是倒敘，閱讀此類文章時，必須要找到它結構中的5個W（when，where，who，why，what）和1個H（how），不過不是每篇都會完整地交待六個要素．
