15.She was working on some history essay.Her books were open on the desk,and she had an A4pad there and some pencils ready for taking notes.As I watched,she sat back on her chair,and she took up her history book.But much as she tried to read it,and much as she tried to concentrate,her eyes kept glancing up at those old photographs.There were a photograph of me on my own and a photograph of the two of us together.There was also a photo of when Eggy was small and when I was only a baby-maybe I had even just been born.And she was holding me,with Dad's help,while Mom looked on,rather nervously,as if worried that Eggy might drop me on my head.Then there were photos of her and me,both of us getting bigger and older.And she was always three years ahead of me,always my big sister,and I was always her naughty little brother,driving her nuts and getting her on her nerves.
There was a photograph of all of us too,of me and Eggy and Mum and Dad,all standing there together,smiling at the new camera.
There I was.And there we were.And nothing would ever bring us back or make us whole again.I felt so sad again-but I wouldn't give in to it.I was on a mission,like they say,and I had to see it through.I had to settle the unfinished business.I had to forgive and be forgiven.I couldn't let Eggy go through the rest of her life remembering those last words she'd ever said to me,just before I stormed out to get run over by a truck.
"You'll be sorry one day when I am dead!"I said to her.
"No,I won't be!"she'd shouted after me,"I'll be glad!"
And then I'd never come back.
"Eggy,"I said,"Eggy,it's Harry.I am here,right by you.Right here.But don't be afraid.It's OK,Eggy,I am a ghost now,that's all.But it's OK,it's nothing to be frightened of.I am not going to haunt you for ever.I just came back to work things out with you,to say I am sorry.Can you hear me,Eggy?Do you know I am here?"But she looked back down at her history book,reached out and turned a page over.And she didn't know that I was standing right behind her,so close that I could reach out and touch her.
"I am touching your shoulder,Eggy.Can you feel my hand?Can you?It's me,Harry.Don't be afraid.I am just touching your shoulder,that's all."
But she went on reading the history book,and then paused,and took up one of the pencils,and made a few notes about Henry the Eighth and all the wives he once had and why he had them.
"Eggy,-it's me."
"Eggy…"
Nothing.
She looked up from her book,daydreaming maybe,like you do in the middle of your homework.Her eyes fell on the photos of her and me at my fourth birthday party.My getting ready to blow out all the candles.Her getting ready to help me in case I ran out of air.
"Oh,Harry,"she said."Oh,Harry."And she reached out and touched the photo,just like it was flesh and blood but not just .
I saw the pencil on the desk.I remembered the leaf on the tree,Jelly's Parker,and Arthur with the fruit machine.I could do it.I knew I could.I had to.I focused my thoughts on the pencil,all of them,every part of me.I tried to shine my thoughts upon it as if they were the beam of a torch.
"Please,"I thought,"please,please,please…"

解答 DBCAAD
55.D.细节理解题.根据第二段There were a photograph of me on my own and a photograph of the two of us together可知,有两张照片;There was also a photo of when Eggy was small第三张照片;there were photos of her and me,both of us getting bigger and older说明至少有两张以上;第三段There was a photograph of all of us too,of me and Eggy and Mum and Dad说明这至少是第六张照片;倒数第四段Her eyes fell on the photos of her and me at my fourth birthday party可知,在他的桌面上至少有七张照片;故选D.
56.B.细节理解题.根据后面的句子I had to forgive and be forgiven.I couldn't let Eggy go through the rest of her life remembering those last words she'd ever said to me,just before I stormed out to get run over by a truck.可知,此处作者表达了自己对Eggy刻薄话语的忏悔以及自己被卡车撞带给Eggy自责的原谅;故选B.

58.A.推理判断题.本句是Eggyz在注视着照片,手里拿着铅笔等物品,伸出手去抚摸照片,根据前面的句子she reached out and touched the photo,just like it was flesh and blood but not just…可知,此时好像她用手抚摸的不是铅笔和化学品(画图用的涂料等),而是有血有肉的人,故选A.
