【解析】

这是一篇有趣的文章，在不同大小的篮子里面放不同的水果，让人们通过简单的计算得知“我”的年龄。

1.细节理解题。根据文章首句“I have six baskets.”，第三句“Three are small”和第五句“I put three pears in each（每个）small basket,”可知我一共有3个小篮子，每个小篮子里放3个梨，所以一共有9个梨，故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据“I put three apples in each big basket and one apple in each small basket.”可知我在三个大篮子里每个放三个苹果，三个小篮子里每个放一个苹果，所以有12个苹果，故选C。

3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二句“I put three pears in each（每个）small basket, and I put three apples in each big basket and one apple in each small basket.”可知三个小篮子里每个都有三个梨和一个苹果，所以在小篮子里一共有9个梨和3个苹果，故选B。

4.细节理解题。 倒数第二句“I put three pears in each（每个）small basket.”可知我梨都在三个小篮子里，故选B。

5.细节理解题。根据最后一句“The number of apples is my age.”可知，我的年龄就是苹果的个数， 根据第2小题可知，有12个苹果，所以我12岁，故选C。
