Living an Adventurous Life

Nearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤), and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever. I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over. I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis (多發(fā)性硬化癥), which meant that, although they were not over,the nature of my adventures could have to change.

Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have

had. Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a light bulb, walking down stairs. I might not be able to do it this time. If I could not delight in them, they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.

I admire the grand adventures of others. I read about them with interest. With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain. I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down, into, and across Tinker Creek in all Seasons. David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast, and Ed Abbey has

rowed me down the Colorado River, I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips - 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles - ready to bear cold and tiredness - indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.

But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read. Some days I don't even make it to the backyard. And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it, even the pain, the anxiety and fear, aud the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive.

I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller. And now, whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures that are mine to have.

41. What happens to the author after her illness?

A. She has a fear of medical treatments.    B. She travels to places she has dreamed.

C. She can't take care of herself any longer   D. She is not drowned in anger and self-pity.

43. The author ends the article with a feeling of______

A. sadness      B. sacrifice       C. security      D. satisfaction

44. What does "adventurous life" in the title mean to the author?

A. The struggles of great people against difficulties.

B. Her concern about giving up certain activities.

C. Her adapting to the situation with an illness.

D. The exciting traveling experience of others.

45. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?

A. Travel can enrich a person's life.

B. Reading is an activity that a patient enjoys most.

C. A positive attitude can improve a difficult situation.

D. A person's ability can be improved through reading.

Ⅲ  閱讀（共兩節(jié)。滿分40分）

閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

                              The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image （形象）of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious（叛逆的）and selfish .but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation（商議）and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

41. What is the popular image of teenagers today?

A. They worry about school.                                  B. They dislike living with their parents.

C, They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.  D. They quarrel a lot with other family members.

42. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to__________ .

A. share family responsibility                                  B. cause trouble in their families

C. go boating with their family                                     D. make family decisions

43. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents__________ .

A. go to clubs more often with their children     B. are much stricter with their children

C. care less about their children’s life                        D. give their children more freedom

44. According to the author, teenage rebellion__________ .

A. may be a false belief                                                  B. is common nowadays

C. existed only in the 1960s                                          D. resulted from changes in families

45. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Negotiation in family.                                                B. Education in family.

C. Harmony in family.                                D.Teenage trouble in family.
