四． 阅读理解 (共15小题, 满分30分。第一部分阅读10题；第二部分为任务型阅读5题)
A
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 in waist­high 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．
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 a journey－and the best part of yourself.

51．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.
52．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
53. 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.
54. 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.
55. 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

B
Before the opening of the Cape Cod Canal in 1914，the only way ships could leave Boston was on a route around Race Point—the northern tip of Cape Cod. However，navigation during the 18th century was a nightmare，because the floating cross current(交叉气流) around Race Point caused countless accidents. So building a lighthouse to lighten the place was very necessary.
As early as 1808，the people of Provincetown requested a lighthouse on Race Point，but it took Congress eight years to react when they finally paid $ 8,000 on April 27,1816 to build a lighthouse —Race Point Light，which was located in the town of Provincetown，Massachusetts. It was first built of stone 25 feet high with no foundation and its light was 30 feet above the sea. It was equipped with one of the nation's earliest revolving lights.
Actually，there were two other lighthouses on Cape Cod，but they were hit by a storm in October 1841.In the following year，Race Point Light was examined by I．W.P. Lewis，who realized the light's importance. He said，“The light should be useful to all ships leaving Boston. However，its illuminating power is so weak that people would hardly be able to differentiate it from the lights set on the ships which stay in the bay，or close by. It hasn't played its role as a lighthouse well.”
The result was that old lighthouse was destroyed and a new iron lighthouse with a proper foundation was put up to take its place. The new lighthouse was 45 feet high. Although the original keeper's house was in good repair，it was destroyed too and a new one was built. Today the lighthouse has been automated(自动化)and Race Point Light is still an active aid to navigation.
You can park at Race Point Beach and walk about 45 minutes to the lighthouse. Sunset at Race Point Light is one of the Cape Cod's most popular scenes. And at times whales can be seen in the lighthouse. For reservations to stay one night in the keeper's house at Race Point call(508)487－9930.

56. The underlined word “illuminating” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. preventing accident B. cooling the air C. providing light D. predicting weather
57. Why was the original Race Point Light replaced by a new one?
A. It was too old to repair properly. B. It hadn't done a good job in helping the passing ships.
C. It was destroyed in a storm in October 1841.
D. It wasn't high enough and had no foundation.
58. According to the passage，Race Point Light ________.
A. is also a tourist spot now B. stopped working after 1914
C. was built by I．W.P. Lewis D. has been automated since 1841
59. What can be learned from the passage?
A. The keeper's house is open to the public now.
B. The present keeper's house is the original one.
C. The two other lighthouses had revolving lights too.
D. The government didn't agree to build Race Point Light.
60. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The building process of Race Point Light. B. The tourism value of Race Point Light.
C. The three lighthouses on Cape Cod. D. The history of Race Point Light.
