第三部分　閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題3分，滿分60分）
閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A，B，C，D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Joyce Yuan and her host family
As I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!
Just imagine wearing short sleeves or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!
Before the vocation started, we had a little episode at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom and I were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt easy and amused. It was just because of the decorations on my pants and the tinfoil(錫紙) around my host mom’ chewing gum! －Just as a reminder, no overly fashionable pants or tinfoil on a plane!
Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share a room with my 4-year-old host sister. She is tiny compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking up and hardly slept at all.
Luckily, except for all that, everything went really well. My host family were really warm-hearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their “persuasion”, I was “forced” to go boating, which turned out to be really fun. We went through some canals and I saw manatees(海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!
When we finally landed in Wisconsin again, everyone looked brown and full of energy! 
56. According to the passage, the reason why we were taken away to have further checks was that___________.
A. my pants and my host mom’s chewing gum
B. we carried some things that are not permitted
C. they considered us to be thieves
D. we had not passports with us
57.During the travel, the author experienced the following things for the first time EXCEPT_________.
A. sharing a room with a 4-year-old girl               B. going boating
C. seeing manatees and dolphins with her own eyes      D. taking a plane 
58.According to the passage, how many people went to Florida for traveling with the author together?
A. Seven                B. Eight           C. We don’t know it    D. Nine
59. From the passage, we can infer that the author felt the vacation was_____.
A. frightening            B. amazing         C. memorable             D. challenging

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年浙江紹興魯迅中學(xué)高二下學(xué)期期末質(zhì)量檢測英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild animals. The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.
The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didn’t even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. I’d lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.
I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava（火山巖）pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!
The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn't painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas（畫布）in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $ 1500.
The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim（火山口邊緣）of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I’m living freely and happily ever after.
【小題1】Why did the writer go to Hawaii?

A．To free herself from trouble.
B．To make a living.
C．To spend her holiday.
D．To realize her childhood dream.
【小題2】Which of the following is the writer’s dream?   
A．Become a successful painter.
B．Live in nature with animals.
C．Get close to wildlife.
D．Live a free and happy life.
【小題3】We can infer from the passage that __________.
A．the writer wasn’t sure whether she could survive in Hawaii at first
B．the writer’s parents encouraged her to divorce
C．the writer’s husband took away most of her money
D．the writer had never done painting before
