36-40 CBADC 41-45 BACDA 46-50 CBDAA 51-55 CBDCB

解析:

36.C　根据上下文可推断出：Joan开始是在报社编辑别人的故事。?

37.B　根据常识，这应该是她走出大学后的第一份工作。?

38.A　根据后文描述可知：当时还没有在报社当体育记者的女性，于是她想成为一位体育记者。one指代上文的writer。?

39.D　根据下文的furthermore的提示可知。?

40.C　根据下文的“家里有三男三女和教练父亲”可推测出此处应该是“背景”。?

41.B　这里指“作者成长在一个体育世家”。?

42.A　根据常识，在报社能够给人重新分配工作到某部门的人应该是主编editor。?

43.C　一家报社里包含很多负责具体板块新闻的“部门”，此处考生容易误选column,但column是指“报纸上的栏目”而不指“工作的场所”。?

44.D　根据后文的“她自己也写专栏作品”可推知与上文的“编辑别人的文章”相反，应为转折关系。?

45.A　承接上文的“写她自己的专栏作品”而成为“专栏作家”。?

46.C　land在此处表示“获得(某物)”。?

47.B　根据短文的第一段所述：我不知道当时有女性体育记者。可知“作者为唯一的一名女性体育记者”。?

48.D　承接上文“作者是第一位女性体育记者”，本段是要说“当女性体育记者的先锋难吗？”

49.A　考查英语习惯用法。You bet!意为“当然!”。?

50.A　根据语境和常识，作者作为记者要采访男衣物间的运动员应该是不慌不忙走进去的。51.C　考查定语从句的引导词，先行词locker room在定语从句中充当状语。?

52.B　根据下文的“又是向我叫喊又是向我靠近”说明整个房间变得“疯狂”起来。?

53.D　此处应填一个与“tapping up”并列而意义又要表示“使用(长柄剃须刀)”的词。?

54.C　根据前后文语境“那些调皮的运动员用剃须刀的柄在女记者的腿上移动”其目的是开玩笑吓唬这位女记者。handle意为“柄，把手”。?

55.B　根据上文“女记者被吓得跑出了房间”，最后只能是在房外结束采访。

A man was on the side of the road hitchhiking（搭便车）on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road．The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him．Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop．The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel（方向盘）!

Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car．Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was certainly not drunk!

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were numbered. The doctor had said there wasn’t anything more that could be done, and that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.

A tear rolled down the Man’s cheek and landed on the Cat’s forehead, The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look. “Why do you cry, Man?” the Cat asked. “Because you can’t bear the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?” The Man nodded “yes”.

“Pick up that piece of string from the floor. There, my ‘toy’. The Man reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. “Now take each end of the string in one hand,” the Cat ordered. The Man did so.

“The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,” the Cat said. The man did so. Then the Cat continued, “You have made a continuous circle. Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?” The Man inspected the string and then shook his head.

“Close your eyes.” the Cat said. “Now lick your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise. “Just do it,” the Cat said. “Lick your hand, think of me in all my familiar places, and think about all the pieces of string.”

Licking his hand, he discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop, and when he didn’t, he opened his eyes. The Cat’s eyes were closed. The Man stroked(轻抚) the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.

One day, not long after, there was a new cat on his lap. She was a lovely white cat. It is very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same.
