c72013天津卷 cpoet 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.theyd 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(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 journeyand the best part of yourself.46why did the author use to take freeways to her parents home?ait was less tiring.bit would be faster and safer.cher kids would feel less confined.dshe felt better with other drivers nearby.47the author stopped regularly on the country roads to _arelax in the fresh airbtake a deep breathctake care of the lambdlet the kids play with banner48what does the author discover from the trip according to paragraph 6?afreeways are where beauty hides.bgetting close to nature adds to the joy of life.cenjoying the beauty of nature benefits ones health.done should follow side roads to watch wild animals.49why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?ato give herself some time to read.bto order some food for them.cto play a game with them.dto let them cool down.50what could be the best title for the passage?acharm of the detourbthe road to braveryccreativity out of necessitydroad trip and country life【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要通过作者的经历向读者解释了一个生活哲理：在实现目标的过程中通常我们要多绕一些路。在路上比我们直接到达目的地要收获更多的东西。46b细节理解题。根据第二段“we traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when i was alone with four noisy”可知作者在回父母家的路上，为了早点到达而选择了高速，而一个女性单独带着四个孩子走高速也是为了安全。故选b。47c细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“we had to stop every hour, let banner shake out his legs and feed him.”可知，作者停下来是为了照顾小羊羔banner。故选c。48b推理判断题。根据作者在第六段的描述可知，作者沿着乡村小路走时，接近自然，既欣赏了美丽的景色，也为自己的旅程增加了快乐。故选b。49d细节理解题。根据第八段“everyone started quarrelingordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.”可知，孩子们在车上争吵起来，作者命令他们下车，走着去前面找作者。这样做的目的是让孩子们冷静下来。故选d。50a主旨大意题。作者在第一段借著名诗人william stafford的话来揭示本文的主题：the detour。再根据下文的描述，展示了作者在乡村的路上获得的快乐，由此可知本文的题目既要有detour又要有与joy相关的词汇，选项a正好符合。c72013天津卷 dwhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.for kids, happiness has a magical quality.their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫无掩饰的)in the teenage years the concept of happiness changes.suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity.i can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.in adulthood the things that bring deep joylove, marriage, birthalso bring responsibility and the risk of loss.for adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)my definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”the more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are.its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.i experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday.first i was overjoyed when i shut the last lunchbox and had the house to myself.then i spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which i love.when the kids and my husband came home, i enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.i dont think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either.she did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.we, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have.were so selfconscious about our “right” to it that its making us miserable.so we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.happiness isnt about what happens to usits about how we see what happens to us.its the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative.its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess.51as people grow older, they _afeel it harder to experience happinessbassociate their happiness less with otherscwill take fewer risks in pursuing happinessdtend to believe responsibility means happiness52what can we learn about the author from paragraphs 5 and
