【本文要点】文章叙述了作者从英语文学专业毕业之后，几经周折，最终幸运地找到自己喜

爱的写书这门职业的事情。

49.C推理判断题。根据前后文“butnosenseofwhatIwantedtodo"“justtryingtoearnan

income.Itriedjournalism,...thenfinance,whichIhated.Finally,Igotajob…”可知作者对于找

怎样的一份适合自己的工作这件事漫无目的。故选C。

50.B细节理解题。根据第二段话“Idecidedtotrytosatisfyadeep-downwishtowriteanovel”

可知作者决定写小说的目的只是满足自己内心深处的愿望，实现自己的梦想。故答案为B。

51.D推理判断题。根据文章第三段话“Ittakesconfidencetomakeanewstart""My

confidencedived”"Believingmynovelcouldnotbepublished,Iputitaside”及本段叙述了作

者回答别人问题时提到'Tmwritinganovel,butTmnotquitesureifI'mgoingtogetthere”可

知，此时他的感觉应该是还不完全确定他现在是否还要继续写他的小说。故答案选D°

52.A推理判断题。本段作者表达他刚刚开始时“there飞noendinsight"到后来的"an

unbelievablestrokeofluck""tobeapublishedwriter—isunbelievablyrewarding（有回报

的）”是想要告诉读者，坚持自己的目标是值得的，总会碰到运气的降临。B项“刻苦努力

是成功之路”，不符合文章意思。C、D项停留于文章表面意思。故答案为A。
