A child's clutter awaits an adult's return1 I watch her back her new truck out of the driveway. The vehicle is too large too expensive. She'd refused to consider a practical car with good gas efficiency and easy to park. It's because of me, I think. She bought it to show me that she could.2 "I'm 18," she'd told me so often that my teeth ached. "I am an adult!"3 I thought is that true? Just yesterday you!1/81. According to the mother, why did her daughter buy a large and expensive vehicle?

题目解答

答案

根据文章的内容，女儿买了一辆大型且昂贵的车辆，母亲认为这是因为女儿想向她展示她有能力购买这样的车辆。这可能是因为女儿想要证明自己已经成年，有独立的决策能力和经济能力。

解析

考查要点：本题考查学生对文章中人物行为动机的理解能力，需要结合上下文分析母亲对女儿行为的解读。
解题核心思路：通过关键句定位，理解母亲认为女儿购买昂贵车辆的深层原因。
破题关键点：抓住母亲的内心活动（第1段末尾）和女儿反复强调“成年”（第2段）的细节，推断女儿行为背后的意图。

  1. 定位关键句：
    文章第1段中，母亲明确表示“She bought it to show me that she could.”（她买它是为了向我展示她有能力。）这直接点明了母亲对女儿行为的理解。

  2. 联系上下文：

    • 女儿多次强调“我18岁了，我是个成年人”（第2段），表明她渴望被认可为独立个体。
    • 母亲回忆女儿拒绝购买实用型汽车（第1段），进一步说明女儿选择昂贵车辆是为了展示经济能力。

  3. 综合推断：
    女儿通过购买大型昂贵车辆，试图证明自己已成年，具备独立决策和经济能力，从而获得母亲的认可。
