　　I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a book shop hired（雇傭） me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 　1　 　to earn my own pocket money and my parents 　2　 　interfered（干涉）with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 　3　 , I would become more mature（成熟的） and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.
　　Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 　4 　　a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 　5　 　for me. In the end, my father won the argument（爭論） on the 　6　 　that I limited（限定）my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could 　7　 　shelter（住處）and help if I needed them.
　　Three years later, my younger brother decided to 　8　 　a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 　9　 　year working his way on trains and ships to 　10 　　passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
　　These kinds of experiences are probably rare（稀少的）for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start 　11　 　their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even 　12　 　on their future career, and so on.

解析試題分析：這篇文章講的是在美國，很多父母在孩子小的時(shí)候就開始鍛煉他們的獨(dú)立性，這樣隨著他們的長大，孩子們對(duì)自己的未來就能夠具有很清晰的規(guī)劃。
【小題1】anxious “焦急的”；content“滿意的”；proud“自豪的”；hopeful“有希望的”。 因?yàn)樽约簰赍X自己花，當(dāng)然是值得驕傲與自豪的了。故選C
【小題2】從下文看她的父母很開通，支持孩子獨(dú)立自主，給孩子鍛煉機(jī)會(huì)，所以判斷它們不會(huì)干涉孩子如何花零花錢的。故選A. never“從不”。故選A
【小題3】根據(jù)上下文，可知作者的父母給孩子充分的鍛煉機(jī)會(huì)，哪怕是犯錯(cuò)誤。這里指即使他不理智的花錢，父母也不會(huì)干涉；好讓他在錯(cuò)誤中吸取教訓(xùn)，學(xué)會(huì)合理地消費(fèi)。故選B。
【小題4】從第三段第二行“Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school,”可知,母親對(duì)子女的單獨(dú)出游非常不放心，表現(xiàn)出很擔(dān)心的樣子。故選D
【小題5】A. journey 旅行，旅程；B. experience 經(jīng)歷；C. chance 機(jī)會(huì)；D. possibility 可能性。從文中以及最后一段“These kinds of experiences…”可知作者希望通過獨(dú)自旅行鍛煉自己對(duì)自己的成長來說應(yīng)該是一次難得的經(jīng)歷。故選B
【小題6】on the condition that I limited（限定）my traveling to France, my mother’s home；on the condition “條件是”，固定結(jié)構(gòu)。句意：條件是我的旅行目的地是法國，我母親的家就在那里。故選D
【小題7】A. 答應(yīng)；B.負(fù)擔(dān)的起；C. 提供；D. 服務(wù)。句意：母親的親屬分散在法國各地，都可以為他提供幫助。故選C
【小題8】take a year off“請(qǐng)一年假”，固定結(jié)構(gòu)。句意：我弟弟決定請(qǐng)一年的假期，去旅行美國和加勒比海地區(qū)。故選C
【小題9】 因?yàn)榈艿苁侵鲃?dòng)選擇邊打工邊旅行，因而他一定覺得這樣的經(jīng)歷unusual“不同尋常”，而非 hard“艱苦”，strange“奇怪”或 busy“繁忙”。故選A
【小題10】 這里passage指“乘船或飛機(jī)的航程，旅行，旅費(fèi)”；earn passage to different ports earn and cities“自己掙錢到各處旅行”。故選B
【小題11】bringing“帶來”；forcing“迫使”；pushing“促使”；protecting“保護(hù)”這里指父母推動(dòng)孩子做自己想做的事，而不是強(qiáng)迫，故選 C。
【小題12】A.工作 B.決定 C.拿、背負(fù) D.試圖；decide on sth.“決定某事”。句意：他們可以決定自己以后的事業(yè)，故選B。
考點(diǎn)：社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類記敘文
點(diǎn)評(píng)：對(duì)于描寫社會(huì)現(xiàn)象的文體，把握作者的寫作核心，所記敘的事情發(fā)展順序。對(duì)于完型填空可以先花幾分鐘時(shí)間進(jìn)行整體的瀏覽，弄清楚作者的寫作順序，時(shí)態(tài)，中心思想。結(jié)合平時(shí)的語法知識(shí)和上下文詞義復(fù)現(xiàn)的特點(diǎn)進(jìn)行解題。
