阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　The dirty, homeless man sat on the pavement, staring at the atones．He thought back more than twenty years to when he was a boy living in a small red brick house on this very street．He recalled the flower garden, the swing his dad made, and the bike he had saved up for months to buy．

　　The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory travelled on another ten years．He had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less．He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because o' debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money．He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money．When his parents stepped out of the room, he took what he wanted and left．

　　That was the last time he had seen them．Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison．But locked in his cell he often thought of home．Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still alive, and still wanted to see him．

　　When his prison time was up, he found-a job, but couldn't settle．Something was drawing him home．He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back．But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt．Could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them?

　　He spent most of that day sitting under a tree．That evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write．It ended with：

　　I know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me．．．so it's up to you．I'll come early Thursday morning．If you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom．If it's there, I'll come in; if not, I'll wave good-bye and go．

　　And now it was Thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street．Finally he got up and walked slowly toward the old house．He drew a long breath and looked．

　　His parents were taking no risks．________________

　　The man threw his head back, gave a cry of relief and ran straight through the open front door．

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me $ 12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office, “you sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me $12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for Mary 22nd.” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburned,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!” “That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”
“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam.” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?” “Err. Well--,” the woman looked at the child. “I mean, she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…, let me see…$ 13. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe(欠) $ 1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”
The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

     For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first a young boy, Manolin, had
shared his bad fortune, but after the fortieth luckless day the boy's father told his son to go in another
boat. From that time on, Santiago worked alone. The boy loved the old fisherman and  always helped
him with money and food. Usually, they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or
about American baseball after supper, while at night, alone in his cottage, Santiago dreamed of lions on
the beaches of Africa, where he had gone years before. He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.
On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago set off to fish before dawn. Two of his baits (饵) were fresh tunas (金
枪鱼) the boy had given him, as well as sardines (沙丁鱼) to cover his hooks. Then he set his lines
which went straight down into deep dark water.
      As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore. A bird showed him where dolphin were chasing
some flying fish. This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight. A small one took the hook on his
line. Pulling the fish aboard, the old man thought it a good fortune.
     Toward noon a marlin, a common fish in the sea, started eating the bait which was one hundred
meters down. Gently the old man played the fish, a big one, as he knew from the weight on the line. At
last he struck to settle the hook. The fish did not come out of the surface. Instead, it began to pull the
boat to the northwest. The old man followed it. Although he was alone and no longer strong, he had his
skill and knew many tricks. He waited patiently for the fish to be tired .
     It was cold after the sunset. When something took one of his remaining baits, he cut the line with his
knife. Once the marlin leaned suddenly, pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek. By
dawn his left hand was cramped (抽筋的). The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight.
Hungry, he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.
     That morning the fish jumped. Seeing it, Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had
ever seen. Then the fish went down and turned toward the east. Santiago drank a little water from the
bottle during the hot afternoon.
     Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited. He lifted it aboard, careful. After he
had rested, he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach. That
night he slept. He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped. Feeding line
slowly, he tried to tire the marlin. After the fish slowed its run, he washed his cut hands in sea water and
ate one of the flying fish. At sunrise the marlin began to circle. Faint, he worked to bring the big fish
nearer with each turn. Almost exhausted, he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon
(鱼叉). The fish was two feet longer than the boat. No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.
      An hour later, he sighted the first shark, a fierce Mako, and it came in fast to chase after the dead
marlin. The old man struck the shark with his harpoon. The Mako rolled and sank, carrying the harpoon
with it and leaving the marlin bloody. He knew the smell would spread. Watching, he saw two sharks
closing in. He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water. The other he
killed while it tore at the flesh of the marlin. When the third appeared, he thrust (刺) it with the knife.
The other sharks came at sunset. At first he tried to beat them with the tiller (舵柄) from the boat, but
his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea. In the darkness, as he steered toward the
harbor of Havana, he heard them hitting the boat again and again. But the old man thought only of his
steering and his great tiredness. He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him. He knew they
would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin.
     All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat. He could just make out
the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish. Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently
until he could gather his strength to go on. In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep.

Jack London had endured more hardships by the age of twenty-one than most people experience in a lifetime. His struggles developed in him sympathy for the working class and a lasting dislike of hard work and provided inspiration for his career as a writer.

London grew up in San Francisco in extreme poverty. At an early age, he left school and supported himself through a succession of unskilled jobs --- working as a paper boy, in bowling alleys, on ice wagons, and in canneries and mills. Despite working long hours at these jobs, London was able to read constantly, borrowing travel and adventure books from the library.

The books London read inspired him to travel, and his job experiences led him to become active in fighting for the fights of workers. He sailed to Japan on a journey aiming at catching seals and joined a cross-country protest march with a group of unemployed workers. After being arrested for vagrancy (流浪) near Buffalo, New York, London decided to educate himself and reshape his life. He quickly completed high school and entered the University of California.

After only one term, however, the appeal of fortune and adventure proved uncontrollable. London gave up his studies and traveled to the Alaskan Yukon in 1897 in search of gold. Jack London was among the first of these miners. He may have searched for more than gold, however. London once commented, “ True, the new region was mostly poor; but its several hundred thousand square miles of coldness at least gave breathing space to those who else would have choked at home.” Although he was unsuccessful as a miner, London’s experiences in Alaska taught him about the human desire for wealth and power and about humankind’s inability to control the forces of nature. While in Alaska, London also absorbed memories and stories that would make him known one hundred years later.

Once back in California, London became determined to earn a living as a writer. He rented a typewriter and worked up to fifteen hours a day, spinning his Alaskan adventures into short stories and novels.

According to legend, London’s piles of rejection slips from publishers grew to five feet in height!

Even so, London preserved. In 1903, he earned national fame when he published the popular novel The Call of the Wild. He soon became the highest paid and most industrious writer in the country. During his career, he produced more than fifty books and earned more than a million dollars. Several of his novels, including The Call of the Wild (1903),the Sea-Wolf (1904),the White Fang (1906), have become American classics. In fact, he was a creative writer whose fiction explored several regions and their cultures: the Yukon, California, Hawaii, and the Solomon Islands. He experimented with many literary forms, from traditional love stories and dystopias (反面乌托邦小说) to science fantasy. His noted journalism included war communication, boxing stories, and the life of Molokai lepers (麻风病患者). He was among the most influential figures of his day, who understood how to create a public persona and use the media to market his self-created image of poor-boy-turned-success. London's great passion was agriculture, and he was well on the way of creating a new model for spreading through his Beauty Ranch when he died of kidney disease at age 40. He left over fifty books of novels, stories, journalism, and essays, many of which have been translated and continue to be read around the world. His best works describe a person’s struggle for survival against the powerful forces of nature. “To Build a Fire”, for example, tells the story of a man’s fight to survive the harsh cold of the Alaskan winter.

55. _________made Jack London reconsider his life in the future.

A. His job experience B. The books he read

C. His being arrested D. Long-hour work

56. What is TRUE about Jack London?

A. Jack London was poor all his life.

B. Jack London got enough money while in the search of gold.

C. The books Jack London read inspired him to travel and become active.

D. The experience of gold searching made Jack London determined to write novels about Alaska adventures.

57. After the experience in Alaska, Jack London _________.

A. realized the nature of human beings.

B. knew people could control nature finally.

C. regretted being there.

D. thought highly of himself.

58. In paragraph 4, the sentence “True, the new region was mostly poor; but its several hundred

thousand square miles of coldness at least gave breathing space to those who else would have

choked at home.” implies _______.

A. Jack London regarded Alaska a poor place as he never got any gold there.

B. people would have been ill at home if they had never been to Alaska.

C. People searching for gold there still have chance to win.

D. Alaska was a poor but large region.

59. Which one of following works doesn’t belong to Jack London according to the passage?
