Last year his father opened a shop in our town and last month he bought a big house and Jack began to study in our class. But Jack had few friends here. At first he often played by himself. Jack’s neighbor Daisy is a kind girl. She found Jack never talked with anybody and decided to help him. Jack likes to stay with Daisy and talks to her a lot. Now they’re good friends.

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Jack从农村搬到了镇里上学，开始他没有朋友，后来他跟Daisy成为了朋友。Daisy要过生日了，Jack不知道该送给她什么礼物，就问他妈妈，如果你16岁了，你想要什么礼物。他妈妈回答说我只希望我真的16岁了。

1.细节理解题。根据短文中Last year his father opened a shop in our town可知，Jack的父亲在我们镇里开了一个商店，所以Jack的父亲现在应该是一个店主。故选Ａ，shopkeeper 店主。

2.细节理解题。根据短文中Last year his father opened a shop in our town and last month he bought a big house and Jack began to study in our class可知，Jack 的父亲在镇里开了一个商店，还买了一个大房子，Jack也来到我们班里学习，故由此我们可以推测，Jack现在是住在镇里面。故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据短文中Daisy said to Jack, “It’ll be my sixteenth birthday tomorrow. I’ll have a birthday party. Will you please come?”“ Certainly!” Jack said happily.可知，是Jack的好朋友Daisy要过生日了，她邀请Jack来参加她的生日晚会。故应选C。

4.细节理解题。根据短文中He couldn’t call her because he didn’t know her telephone number.可知，Jack想去参加Daisy的生日晚会，但是他不知道该买什么礼物，不知道Daisy喜欢什么，一也不知道她的电话号码。故B选项是正确的。Ａ选项意为：她看起来什么样子。这里的like 不是喜欢，是介词，意思是像。

5.细节理解题。根据短文的最后Mrs. Brown said. “I just wish I was 16，Mrs. Brown 说，我只是希望我16岁了。由此我们可以知道，Jack的妈妈希望自己16岁了，想要变得年轻。故选C。
