When I was in primary school,sometimes I would meet a girl of the same age as me.Lisa was never active,but she was always very sweet and nice.In the 5th grade she came to my class.
She was absent a lot,and one day I had the courage to ask why.She told me she was sick,and she explained she wore a wig (假发) because her medicine made her lose her hair.We_left_it_at_that.Anytime Lisa came to class—seldom—I would hang with her on the playground.
I received much ridicule (嘲弄) from my friends for this because they thought I was ignoring them for Lisa.My family education taught me to be nice,and I felt Lisa’s needs were much more important than others I knew.
It had been months since Lisa was in our class,and one day our teacher was crying.She explained Lisa died the day before and would no longer be our classmate.She told us Lisa had fought a battle (斗争) with cancer for years.
I was shocked.Lisa never spoke of her illness as if it could kill her.Well,all these years I have kept Lisa in my mind and heart.When I go through the important events in my life,I think of Lisa.
I’ve had a strong wish recently to find her mother and father.I’d like to tell them that though they never met me,their daughter had a sweet effect (影响) on my life.I have no idea what her parents’first names are.I write to your column (栏目) and hope you can point me in the right direction.
Lisa was such a lovely girl.Maybe her parents would be comforted by the fact that after all these years they are not the only ones who remember her.

【语篇解读】 本文描写了作者从一位坚强与病魔作斗争的朋友身上学到的处世原则。
54.C 句意理解题。根据第二段的she explained she wore a wig because her medicine made her lose her hair以及倒数第三段Lisa never spoke of her illness可知,她们谈论Lisa的病只是提到她戴着假发,并没有往下讨论,所以选C。
55.B 细节理解题。结合第二段的I would hang with her on the playground和第三段的I received much ridicule from my friends for this可知选B。
56.C 推理判断题。由倒数第三段的When I go through the important events in my life,I think of Lisa可知作者在遇到人生的重大事情的时候,总是想到坚强与病魔作斗争的Lisa,故作者从Lisa身上学到了要勇敢面对生活中的挑战。
57.B 写作意图题。从倒数第二段的I have no idea what her parents’first names are.I write to your column and hope you can point me in the right direction可知作者写这篇文章是在求助一个报社的栏目来寻找她朋友的父母。
