Part 3 Reading Comprehension Section A

Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the, best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage One

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame，not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.，’

The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.

After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so

hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who died wondering. What if I would keep putting my dream to test (even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

51. The passage is meant to _______ .

A) warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience

B) encourage young people to pursue a writing career

C) show young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth

D) advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer

52. What can be concluded from the passage?

A) A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.

B) Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.

C) Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.

D) The chances for writers to become successful are small.

53. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?

A) He found his dream would never come true.

B) He hadn't seen a change for the better.

C) He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.

D) He was not able to produce a single book.

54. In Line 13“...people who died wondering”，“who” refers to those .

A) who think a lot without making a decision

B) who regret giving up their career halfway

C) who think too much of the dark side of life

D) who are full of imagination even upon death Passage Two

Students can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.

A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses and planes. Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. You‘ll not only save money, but you'll also see a lot more of the country.

Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other

students —many colleges have '‘ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel. Many radio stations provide the same, sort of service — they announce who’s driving where, when, how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.

There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel

guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.

You don't have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don?t recommend a diet of candy

and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends.

55. The passage tells students ______ .

A) how to get help while traveling B) how to make travel plans
