I did very badly at school. My headmaster thought I was 36 and when I was 14 he said, “You’re never going to be 37 but a failure.” After five years of 38 jobs, I fell in love with a very nice middle-class girl. It was the beatific 39 that could have happened to me. I 40 I wanted to do something positive (积极地) with my life because I wanted to prove to 41 that what people said about me was 42 . Especially her mother, who had said to me, “Let’s 43 it, you’ve failed at everything you’ve ever done.” So I tried hard with my 44 and went to college. My first novel 45 while I was at college. After college I taught during the 46 in high schools and attended evening classes at London University, where I got a 47 in history. I became a lecturer at a college and was thinking of 48 that job to write full time 49 I was offered a part-time job at Leeds University. I began to feel proud of myself — 50 was a working-class boy who’d 51 school early, now teaching at the university. My writing career (职业) took off when I discovered my own style. Now I’m rich and 52 , have been on TV, and met lots of film stars. 53 what does it mean? I 54 wish all the people that have put me down had 55 : “I believe in you. You’ll succeed.”

网友回答
(答案→)B
解析：本文讲述了我爱上了一个中年级的女孩子，但是却遭到了别人的误解，我决定要用自己的行动来证明别人的话是错误的。
21.B 考查前后照应。useless无用的。从上文“I did very badly at school.”可以看出，作者给校长的印象是“无用”。
22. B 考查逻辑推理。根据never可判断要选你not be anything but表示“除了……之外”的意思。
23. C 考查逻辑推理。根据上文中的badly可判断出作者的学业很差。
24. D 考查语境理解。thing事情。句意为：爱上一个中年级的女孩对作者来说是最好的事情。
25. B 考查词语辨析。decide决定；admit承认；plan计划；tell告诉。根据其宾语可以判断出这是作者做出的决定。
26. C 考查前后照应。her指上文提到的那个中年级的女孩。
27. C 考查语境理解。向女孩证明人们说的是错误的。
28. D 考查语境理解。句意为：让我们正视这件事吧，你做每件事都是失败的。故选face。
29. C 考查前后照应。根据下文中的“my first novel”可判断出作者要用自己的写作来证明别人的话是错误的。
30. D 考查词语辨析。e out出版，发行；e on继续前进；e in进来；e back回答。句意为：第一本小说是在上大学时出版发行的。
31. A 考查前后照应。根据下文“attended evening classes”可判断出是在白天教学。
32. C 考查固定搭配。在历史学方面获得学位用get a degree in history来表达。
33. D 考查词语辨析。give up放弃；give in屈服；give back还回；give out分发。句意为：作者考虑辞去工作做一名专业作家。
34. D 考查语境理解。when此处意为：就在这时。句意为：这时得到一份兼职工作。
35. C 考查语境理解。here is (are, was, were)这儿有。
36. A 考查逻辑推断。从上文可以看出由于作者在学校里成绩很差，过早地离开了学校。
37. D 考查前后照应。famous出名。根据下文“have been on TV，and met lots of film stars”可判断出作者出了名。
38. B 考查语法规则。but表示转折。虽然出了名，但这意味着什么呢？however表示“然而”时，要用逗号与句子分开。
39. C 考查语境理解。just仅仅，只是。表达了作者唯一的希望。
40. A 考查前后照应。根据直接引语可确定选said。
