题目内容
17．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/busy 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.1 hadn't turned 5 yet．
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（栏杆） at school？
As for Leonhard Seppala，famous as a dog sledder （驾雪橇者），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 heavily and well sheltered （保护） 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 本文是一篇记叙文．作者在文中回忆了在他童年时，由于父母的忙碌，在他身上所发生的一些奇遇--点燃油漆，差点引起火灾，而被警察收容；上幼儿园时患上严重感冒；在学校栏杆上撞坏我的舌头；在恶劣天气里乘坐Leonhard的雪橇的冒险旅行…．
解答 DDAB
25．D 考查判断推理．根据文中Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off，so she didn't care much about my bedtime及Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me等话语可以推断出，作者的父母当时忙于他们自己的事情，无暇照顾我．故答案为D．
26．D 考查细节理解．根据文章第三段话的叙述，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，可知，我点燃了一桶油漆，但火并没燃得很大烟却很浓，警察来把我带走．所以答案选D．
27．A 考查判断推理．根据倒数第二段话At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was，but I do remember the ride well可以推断Leonhard很擅长驾雪橇．故答案为A．
28．B 考查判断推理．作者在文中回忆了在他童年时，由于父母的忙碌，在他身上所发生的一些奇遇．故答案为B．
