第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Our youngest child eagerly entered kindergarten, while our oldest child excitedly went to college—and I felt left behind. After being very happy as a stay-at-home mother of six children, I suddenly felt stuck on a dead-end road and lacked direction. An inner anxiety troubled me that life was passing by. The road, requiring expensive education, appeared too long and difficult.

Thanks to supportive friends and family, I eventually discovered the road sign pointing to the ideal program at an excellent college, which offered a lot of student grants(助学金). Driving to my first class, I, aged 40, was eager and nervous.

School required sacrifices(牺牲): weekends for class, sleep for study, and life's luxuries(奢侈品) for tuition fees. But the rewards greatly outweighed the cost. The narrow and rocky road developed perseverance (坚持不懈) and patience, while the smooth and open road built low confidence. Along the way, I met fellow travelers of all ages and interests: a 50-year-old woman who learned photography at the community college; a successful 62-year-old businessman who worked toward a nursing degree to serve in developing countries; an 80-year-old woman who enthusiastically started classes to learn how to surf the Interne
t, so she could keep up with the world.

Twelve years after starting the journey as a non-traditional student, I graduated with a doctoral degree in literature. My children have been especially proud, calling me Dr. Mom. When you hear the small, still voice asking you to do something more or different, remember you can trust your heart.

46. How did the author feel after her youngest child entered kindergarten?

A. She felt proud of her children.

B. She felt eager to go back to work.

C. S
he felt both very anxious and helpless.

D. She felt worried about her children's growth.

47. How did the author look at the sacrifices she had made?

A. They were too much and made her suffer a lot.

B. They were worthwhile(值得的) though she lost something.

C. They were easy to get when one had little knowledge.

D. They were too much compared to her other classmates'.

48. The examples the author gives in Paragraph 3 prove that_______________.

A. it was never too old to learn B. she had many classmates[来源:学科网]

C. she was the youngest in her class D. learning was very difficult

49. Which is the best title for the text?

A. My ways of improving myself

B. My days
at the community college

C. From a stay-at-home mother to a college graduate

D. From a non-traditional student to a great mother

B
