第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分44分）
第一节 （共17小题；每小题2分，满分34分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant , and ancient for a sportsman. Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age, but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “Fifty is what forty used to be . ”He had made an inspirational point. Am I over the hill ?People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that he high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
“ You are not getting older, you are getting better . ” says Dr. Joyce Brothers . This, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so, as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net. I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older. of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词). In fact , a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all :
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to me.
Whether or not Browning was right , most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend ( 混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher was right when he said . “Old is always fifteen years from now. ”

45. We can infer from the passage that ___________
A. the old should lead a simple life B. the old should face the fact of aging
C. the old should take more exercise D. the old should fill themselves with curiosity

B
Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
　　For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
　　Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
　　But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.
　　That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
　　We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers(草蜢) in waist－high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识)．
　　We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
　　I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
　　Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.
46．Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?
　　A．It was less tiring.
　　B．It would be faster and safer.
　　C．Her kids would feel less confined.
　　D．She felt better with other drivers nearby.
47．The author stopped regularly on the country roads to   ________．
　　A．relax in the fresh air
　　B．take a deep breath
　　C．take care of the lamb
　　D．let the kids play with Banner
48．What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?
　　A．Freeways are where beauty hides.
　　B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.
　　C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.
　　D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.
49．Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?
　　A．To give herself some time to read.
　　B．To order some food for them.
　　C．To play a game with them.
　　D．To let them cool down.
50.．What could be the best title for the passage?
　　A．Charm of the Detour
　　B．The Road to Bravery
　　C．Creativity out of Necessity
　　D．Road Trip and Country Life
