C7 [2013·天津卷] C

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 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

【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。

46.B　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。

47.C　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。

48.B　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。

49.D　细节理解题。根据第八段“…everyone started quarreling…ordered 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。

50.A　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。

例2:

When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days however, his heart was not beating properly.

例3:What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology (生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents murder and war. Today's leading killers such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories. (2007年辽宁卷,A篇)

【技巧点拨】阅读理解题不同于单项选择题,句子并不是单独存在的,而是处于特定的语言环境中,与上下文相联系。因此,考生解题时不应拘泥于某个单句,而应“瞻前顾后”,注意整体联系,避免“以偏概全”,准确解题。

综上所述,阅读理解中的细节题主要是针对句子的关系词、长难句的句意或句与句之间的逻辑关系设置题目,考生只要学会分析与题干相关的信息,厘清其所在句子的结构,联系上下文准确理解句子的意思,定能轻松解答细节题。

(2011佛山一中月考题)

In the earliest stages of man's development he had no more need of money than animals have. He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for himself and his family from natural materials around him. As he became more civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters. It was then that the question of payment arose.

As men became more civilized they ______.

A. all learnt to make by themselves the things needed

B. had to travel a lot to look for what they wanted

C. wanted better things than those they themselves could provide

D. no longer provided food and clothing for themselves

【答案及解析】

C　从问题的关键词became more civilized出发，可以定位到文中与之相关的语句：As he became more civilized…发现文中用he代替men, 后面的语句however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands 对应选项C，用themselves概括了his own neighborhood和of his own unskilled hands。

细节理解题

例1 【2008 重庆卷阅读D篇】

Seeing a volcano erupt (喷发) is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the beat by climbing to the summit(山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua. Giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.

Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won’t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.

But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming. Hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit; the McKenney Cone(火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.

Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔岩) and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night. the burning lava quietly falls down tae side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down .

69. Antigua is a city      .

A. where people can enjoy cultural festivals    B. where the daring Pacaya tour starts

C. that gives a close-up view of Paraya        D. that is famous for its tour companies

70. Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will     .

A. walk directly to the active summit

B. hear the continuous loud noise from above

C. make greater efforts than to other summits

D. see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions

71. Many tours are timed for people to      .

A. get down the mountain in time when night falls

B. avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone

C. enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky

D. appreciate the scenery of the 2560-metre-high mountain
