第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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。

A

Four years ago my sweet mom went to be with her Lord．She did it her way．

I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly．Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven．I hated going there every weekend．There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception．

My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land．The place was rustic, with no indoor plumbing or heat．We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me．

In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen．I sang the melody and Mom harmonized．Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over．Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk．

As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit them every week or two．The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad．Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm．While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle（喧闹）of my life at home．But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced．

Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio．Music always comforted me．

My heart skipped a beat．"Moon River" was playing on the radio．I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note．

56．From the first paragraph, we know that the writer’s mother ________．

A．left the small farm with Lord B．passed away four years ago

C．left for Lord to live her own way D．preferred to be with Lord

57．The underlined word reminisced in the fifth paragraph probably means ________．

A．shouted B．comforted C．recalled D．sighed

58．The writer didn’t like staying in the farm for the following reasons except that ________．

A．she could only sing one song in the small farm

B．it was too cold and quiet

C．there was nothing more that could make her excited

D．the place was rustic, with no indoor plumbing or heat

59．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? _______

A．Cherish（珍惜） life B．My happy childhood

C．Our small farmhouse D．Mom’s music

B

Café en Seine

The wildly luxury （奢华） new art style of this huge bar has been a huge hit since it first opened in 1995, and while it may not be the “in” place it once was, it is still very popular with the after-work crowd and out-of-towners．Maybe it’s the glass frames, or the real 12m-high trees; but most likely it’s the beautiful people supporting the wood-and-marble bar．
