答案

36---55 BABDB CADCC ACDCB ADBAB

解析:

本文主要讲我们即便身处劣境，也不要气馁，而应保持积极的心态，努力进取。同时作者也希望人们能给那些表现不很出色的人多一些鼓励。

36. B。前句说“我”在学校表现不好，故此处用useless表示校长认为“我”是一个“无用”的人。

37. A。anything but 是习语，意为“决不”“根本不”，与其前的否定词never构成双重否定，表示强调的肯定，即校长认为我肯定是一个失败的人。

38. B。从下文来看，情况一直都不好，故用poor。

39. D。对“我”这样一个境况如此糟糕的人来说，能与a very nice middle-class girl谈恋爱，当然是一件最好的事了。

40. B。此处指作者下决心(decide)要做一些积极的事情以改变自己的境况。

41. C。此处指作者要向其女朋友证明不像别人所说的那样不行。

42. A。指作者想证明，人们认为他不行的看法是错误的(wrong)。

43. D。Let’s face it 意为“咱们面对现实吧”。

44. C。根据下一句提到的my first novel 可知此处应填空C。

45. C。come out 在此指“出版”。

46. A。与下文的evening class 相对，处指用during the day。

47. C。get a degree 指获得学位。degree 意为“学位”。

48. D。此处指作者想辞掉工作做一个专职作家，故用give up。

49. C。指就在那时作者得到了一份在大学兼职的工作，when意为“就在那时”。

50. B。此处here表示一种自豪的心态。

51. A。leave school 指“退学”。

52. D。下文中说作者出现在电视上，并且与rich 并列，因此填famous。

53. B。but 表转折，即有钱和有名又能意味什么呢?

54. A。/ 55. B。此句的意思是：“我”只是想，要是那些曾经瞧不起我的人能说“我想信你，你会成功的”该是多好啊
