Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to 36 my studies in literature at evening classes.

I put up with it for a short period. It was 41 long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to put my 42 into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued writing poetry at home.

By chance, I 43 some prizes and awards for literature. A young woman from a 44 company came to the college one day. She told me that I won a national poetry award.

In the end she 48 me that I should do it the following day.

So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my 49 and I became 50 interested in literature than ever.

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分）

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

A

Lisa was running late. Lisa，25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the way: Her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs， she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.

Several yards away，Frank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.

But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him.

She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.

It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse.

Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn’t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.

Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die，”she explained.

56. What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?

A. She had run a long way. B. She felt hot in the subway.

C. She had done a 1ot of work. D. She had donated blood the night before.

57. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?

A. Because they would miss their train.

B. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.

C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.

D. Because he didn’t see the train coming.

58. How did Frank save Lisa?

A. By dragging her away from the edge. B. By helping her rise to her feet.

C. By pulling her along the ground. D. By lifting her to the platform.

59. When did Lisa become conscious again?

A. When the train was leaving. B. After the police and fire officials came.

C. After she was back on the platform.

D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.

60. The passage is intended to _____________

A. warn us of the danger in the subway B. show us how to save people in the subway

C. tell us about a subway rescue D. report a traffic accident

B

How I Turned to Be Optimistic

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew E
