Question

17．In 1997，I found myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in：alone and begging for money in New York．My father had been separated from our family，and my mother had  recently died from complications related to AIDS．What I remember most about such nights is lying on the cold marble floor and using my backpack for a pillow．
    Even though I had lost my family，I made choices every single day to turn my life around．There was the haven for homeless teenagers called the Door，a non-profit organization that provided me with guidance，medical care and food，all of which kept me going while Icompleted my homework in train stations and under hallway lights．Perhaps the most surprising　help though，I did not seek out﹔it found me．The New York Times told my story．In the weeks　that followed，dozens of strangers reached out to me from all across the United States．At my　high school，I began receiving handwritten letters of encouragement．Strangers showed up　bearing clothes，books，and even hugs．Since the article mentioned I was applying to Harvard，one woman knitted a blanket for me．She attached this note to the box it was posted in："It getscold in those dorms．May you warm yourself knowing that people care about you"．
    With the help of these people，my life today bears no resemblance at all to my life then．Igraduated not only from high school but also from Harvard University．
    Before these people-some of them nameless-I just didn't realize how good people　could be．But now I do，and I can say that the people who helped me have forever changed me．They are the reason behind my decision to join the board at the Door so that I can be part of a
small team of people opening a high school for homeless teenagers．They are the reason Idedicate my life to opening pathways for others．And they are the reason I travel around the　world helping people transform their own lives．

Answer 1

分析 文章講述的是作者在遭遇不幸時(shí)得到媒體的報(bào)導(dǎo)，然后社會(huì)各界給予了他很大的幫助，使得他能夠完成學(xué)業(yè)，最終畢業(yè)于哈佛大學(xué)．在取得一定的成績(jī)后作者決定回報(bào)社會(huì)，投入到幫助別人的工作中．

解答 56．A；細(xì)節(jié)推理題，根據(jù)第二段I made choices every single day to turn my life around可知，作者想改變他的生活．
57．A；推理判斷題，根據(jù)There was the haven for homeless teenagers called the Door可知，the door專(zhuān)門(mén)幫助那些無(wú)家可歸的青少年．
58．A；判斷推理題，根據(jù)開(kāi)頭With the help of these people…可以判斷作者是在人們的幫助下才得以上大學(xué)，故答案選A．
59．C；細(xì)節(jié)理解題；通斷全文可以理出順序：作者媽媽死于疾病，生活處于困境，不得不睡涼地板，報(bào)紙報(bào)道了他的故事，社會(huì)各界資助他，使他能上大學(xué)，大學(xué)畢業(yè)的他要回報(bào)社會(huì)，所以他加入了the committee at the Door，故正確順序?yàn)镃．
60．B；推理判斷題．因?yàn)樽髡呤艿搅藙e人的幫助，所以作者打算投入到幫助別人的工作中，這說(shuō)明愛(ài)是可以傳遞的．
