2.We were standing at the top of a church tower.My father had brought me to this place in a small town not far from our home in Rome.I wondered why.
"Look down,Elsa,"father said.I gathered all my courage and looked down.I saw the square in the center of the village.And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of the twisting,turning streets leading to the square."See,my dear,"father said gently."There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that.If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road,try another."
Now I understood why I was there.Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school.But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to Father for help,he didn't say anything.Instead,he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson.By the time we reached home,I had a plan.
At school the next day,I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home.Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly.She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered(喷溅出)"The cook must have gone mad!"Quickly I told her what I had done,and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me.I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago.I wouldn't stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal.Father's wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

分析 通向广场的路不止一条,如果你想走的一条路不通到你要到的地方,那么就试试试另一条,其实生活也是如此,那就多尝试几次吧.

解答 51.答案 C 根据第二段 fathersaid gently."Thereis more than one way to the square.Life is like that.If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road,try another."爸爸轻轻地说,不只一条路通往广场,人生也是如此,如果你想走的一条路不通到你要到的地方,那么就试试试另一条.由此可知爸爸带作者来是启发他明白解决事情的方法不只一条,故答案为C
52.答案 D   细节理解题.根据Earlier that day I hadbegged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served atschool.那天早些时候,我求妈妈对于学校做的不好吃的午饭向学校反映一下,故答案为D
53.答案 D 推理判断题  The plan worked perfectly,意思的计划一切进展顺利.根据上下文可知,作者是想让妈妈亲口尝一尝学校的饭菜,结果妈妈认为非常难吃,说明作者的方法有效,故答案为D
54.答案 C 推理判断题  根据She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered(喷溅出)"The cook must have gonemad!"她尝了一汤匙然后吐了出来,说"厨师一定发疯了!"说明妈妈也觉得汤非常难喝,故答案为C
55.答案 A 主旨大意题   根据 I wouldn't stop working until I tried every possible way.Father's wise words always remind me thatthere is more than one way to the square.我直到试过每一个可能的方法才停止尝试.爸爸智慧的话总是提醒我到广场的路不只一条,可知答案选A

点评 人生感悟类阅读:这类文章所涉及的人生道理和感悟也许平常我们在做这类阅读题的时候可能见过,所以注意不要把自己的日常经验带到考试中.
阅读这类题目,要注意阅读各段的首句和末句,因为往往它就是这段的中心句或者是作者的观点所在.
