第三部分：阅读理解（共两节。第一节11小题，第二节4小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的4个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

My dad also taught me, by example, that a healthy lifestyle is important. He was hardly ever sick. But I don’t think my dad ever even had a cup of coffee. He barely touched alcohol.

He would say, “ Bonnie, your voice is a reflection of your overall physical well-being. So if you want to sing well, take better care of yourself.” If I became hoarse（嘶哑）or caught a cold, he didn’t blame me directly: “Well, Bonnie, you know, if you’d get to sleep a little earlier, that would probably be a good idea.” When I decided to get inexcitable about 18 years ago, he told me, “See, Bonnie, it’s so great to see you in such strong voice all the time.”

He just did not complain, even when he was uncomfortable toward the end, from the pneumonia that eventually took his life. He simply made a choice to be positive and not negative.

I am so glad that we had the chance to perform together. I was touched that he tried singing my music, even though the bluesy style didn’t come naturally to him. Then, when I had so much Grammy success with my album Nick of Time in 1990, I realized, Hey, I have one of the greatest singers of all time in my family. I was very nervous about doing the Boston Pops show on TV with my dad. To calm me, he said, “Bonnie, a beautiful song is a beautiful song. Just believe it.” I looked in my dad’s eyes, and there we were singing the Irving Berlin song with the lyric（抒情诗）. If all the duets（二重唱）I’ve done, that one will always be highlight.

46. The second paragraph shows that the author’s father__________.

A. devoted himself to his daughter

B. had a very healthy lifestyle

C. was very strict with his daughter

D. had a loving and joyful approach

47. The underlined word “inexcitable” means _________.

A. heated B. angry C. silent D. amused

A. The author had a late-night lifestyle.

B. The author’s father passed away in 2005.

C. The author’s father was optimistic.
