解析:
【语篇解读】本文介绍了“Letters to Sam”这本书的创作背景和写作目的。
36. 根据as I myself,his grandfather可判断,Sam是“我”孙子。
37. 由I had been sitting in a wheelchair for twenty years before then和I wonder if I would have time…可知作者在这期间重病了几次。所以用seriously.
38. 由这一段可知,作者是想告诉他的孙子,但自己担心自己的身体,所以他不知道是不是有时间。此处用time符合上下文。
39. observe看到,注意到。根据对全文内容的理解,作者想告诉他孙子的是他的经历,只有observe合题意。
40. 由下文中的“with thousands of listeners”可知,作者是主持广播节目,所以选radio.
41.由第一段知,作者在轮椅上待了20年,所以是不能自由活动。
42. 由下文中与听众和读者交流思想可知,作者敞开心扉,所以选open.
43. 由第二段开头可知,作者主持广播节目和为杂志写文章,所以此处是和听众和读者交流。
44. 由下句这就是我怎样开始写这些信的可知,这儿应用decided.是因为我决定告诉Sam学校与友谊、浪漫与工作、爱情与其它一切,才开始写这些信。
45. 由本文的题目可知是介绍的Letters to Sam 这本书,下文中也告诉我们这本书的每一章都是一封信,所以这儿选A。
46. 因为信是写给Sam的,所以作者希望Sam迟早会读到这些信。
47. 由于Sam患了自闭症,所以作者的这种期望改变了。
48. 因为Sam患了自闭症,这儿是说他拒绝与别人交流。
49. 由上文可知,作者对Sam 希望很大,而Sam却患了自闭症,这对作者来说是令人心碎的。
50. 由上面一句语,但是并没有阻止我继续写下去和下文中的我想让他理解与别人不同意味着什么,学会和我一样与面对的不幸作斗争可知,作者是有了更多的东西要写。
51. 从句意中可以看出,这里应该选择表示“理解”之意的选项,所以A项 “understand”为正确答案。
52. “face”做动词表示“面对,正对”。作者希望自己的孙子能够坦然面对人生中所遭遇的不幸。
53. 由上文可知,作者的身体不好,所以他怀疑他是不是能写下所有他想说的话。
54. as 引导原因状语从句。句意:因为这本书出版了,所以我有机会让Sam看到我所有想说的话。
55. 这本书的每一章都是一封信,一些是关于我的,所有都是关于作为一个人意味着什么的。
