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 watched some cartoons. What changed between yesterday and today?4 Today she's gone, off to be an adult far away1. According to the mother, why did her daughter buy a large and expensive vehicle?

题目解答

答案

女儿买一辆又大又贵的车是为了向母亲证明她可以做到。

解析

本题考查对文章中人物行为动机的理解。关键点在于通过母亲的视角，分析女儿购买大且昂贵车辆的深层原因。文章通过母亲的内心活动，暗示女儿的这一行为是为了证明自己已经具备独立的能力，从而摆脱母亲的庇护，真正成为“大人”。

  1. 母亲的观察与思考：

    • 母亲注意到女儿选择的车辆“太大、太贵”，且不符合实用原则（如省油、易停放）。
    • 母亲认为女儿的这一选择是为了向自己证明“她可以做到”（第1段）。

  2. 女儿的自我宣告：

    • 女儿多次强调“我18岁了，是成年人了”（第2段），表现出她渴望被认可为独立个体。
    • 母亲质疑女儿的成熟度（第3段），暗示女儿的行为带有证明自己“成人资格”的意味。

结论：女儿的购车行为是主动选择，目的是通过这一行为向母亲展示自己的独立能力。
