閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　Q　My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade．She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master's degree．Her performance is fairly good, but test scores are very low．She has held many leadership and volunteer positions．We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has overcome．Will that help or hurt her chances for admission?

－Deborah

　　A　First let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/ SAT)．There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process．Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors．A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest．org．It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy．

　　You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted．Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability．“Disclosing” a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help．By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face．They might also demonstrate an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability．More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability．

Scars of Love

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator（短吻鱷） was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比賽) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下傷疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma （外傷）, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

You and I can identify with （認(rèn)同） that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

   A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

57. From the passage we can infer ________.

   A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

   B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

   C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

   D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

   A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

   C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
