【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“Wetraveledthewaymostpeopledo:
thefastest,shortest,easiestroad,especiallywhenIwasalonewithfournoisy…”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“Wehadtostopeveryhour,letBannershakeouthislegsandfeedhim.”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“…everyonestartedquarreling…orderedallkidsoutandtoldthemtomeetmeupahead.”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WilliamStafford的话来揭示本文的主题:
thedetour。
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。
