语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了作者在稿子接连被拒后没有放弃，继续坚持写作
并精进文笔，最后在一位出版商的建议下修改稿子并最终成功出版的故事。
1．A.strength B．confidence
C．imagination D．gratitude
答案 B
解析 strength力量；confidence自信；imagination想象；gratitude感谢。根据上文中“with
great passion”可知，作者在写这本书时怀着很大的热情，因此投稿时也十分自信。
2．A.admired B．delayed
C．accepted D．rejected
答案 D
解析 admire欣赏；delay推迟；accept接受；reject拒绝。 由But可知，和上文作者信心满
满地投稿形成转折关系，推测作者的稿子被拒绝了。
3．A.normal B．desiredC．same D．satisfying
答案 C
解析 normal正常的；desired期望得到的；same一样的；satisfying令人满意的。根据上文
“I sent it to two or three other publishers.”和results后的感叹号可知，作者接连投稿两三家
出版社，都得到一样的结果(被拒绝)。
4．A.cut out B．burnt up
C．tore apart D．put away
答案 D
解析 cut out切断；burn up烧毁；tear apart撕碎；put away搁置一边(暂时不用)。根据下文
“But I couldn’t stop .”可知，作者是把小说收起来了。
5．A.thinking B．crying
C．writing D．complaining
答案 C
解析 think思考；cry哭泣；write写作；complain抱怨。根据下文可知，之后的几年，作者
专注于自己的技能，所以作者没有停止写作。
6．A.translated B．released
C．edited D．revised
答案 B
解析 translate翻译；release发行；edit编辑；revise修正。根据上文可知，作者出版了两部
书，是位作家，因此推断此处表示与代理机构一起又发行了几部作品。
7．A.publisher B．follower

8．A.excused B．allowed
C．suggested D．appreciated
答案 C
解析 excuse 原谅；allow 允许；suggest 建议；appreciate 感激。根据下文“It had been

者改用第一人称来重写稿子。
9．A.proper B．exact
C．small D．fair
答案 D
解析 proper合适的；exact确切的；small小型的；fair (数量、大小)相当大的。 根据下文可知，作者原本是用第三人称写的，由于要全文修改人称，对作者来说这是相当大的工作量，
fair可构成搭配a fair amount of “相当数量的……”。
10．A.challenge B．reality
C．risk D．credit
答案 A
解析 challenge挑战；reality真实；risk风险；credit信用。根据上文可知，作者虽然觉得工
作量大，但还是决定接受挑战，固定搭配take the challenge “接受挑战”。
11．A.comforted B．congratulated

发行，即“成功来敲门”。
13．A.clever B．hard
C．fast D．strict
答案 B
解析 clever聪明的；hard努力的；fast快的；strict严厉的。根据上文“I am not a great

C．see D．absorb
答案 C
解析 feel感受到；reflect反射；see看见；absorb吸收。由上文可知作者共写了15本书，

15．A.marathon B．lesson
C．competition D．transformation
答案 A
解析 marathon马拉松赛跑；lesson一节课；competition竞争；transformation变化。根据下
文“not a short race”可知，与短跑对应的应是马拉松。结尾用一个比喻来表达勤奋坚持的
重要性，写作正如马拉松一样需要坚持。

语篇解读 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过老教授请学生们喝咖啡的故事，说明人生道理：
我们不能过度关注一些表面的东西工作、钱财或职位，而要关注生活本身。
1．答案 whom
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，从句缺少介词of的宾语，先行
词是engineers，指人，故填whom。
2．答案 a
解析 考查冠词。句中“large pot of coffee”一大壶咖啡表示泛指，pot是可数名词单数，前
面需加不定冠词，large的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
3．答案 variety
解析 考查词性转换。固定短语a variety of意为“各种各样的”。故填variety。
4．答案 themselves
解析 考查代词。help oneself意为“自用，自取所需”。故填themselves。
5．答案 were taken/have been taken
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子并结合语境可知，“拿走杯子”可以指是过去
发生的事，也可以指过去发生的动作，导致现在只剩下便宜的、不好看的杯子，故可用一般
过去时或现在完成时；主语是复数“cups”，与谓语 take up 为被动关系，故填 were
taken/have been taken。
6．答案 Though/Although/While
解析 考查连词。分析句子并结合句意可知，空处引导让步状语从句，句首首字母大写。故填Though/Although/While。
7．答案 consciously
解析 考查副词。空处修饰动词went作状语，应用副词形式，故填consciously。
8．答案 worse
解析 考查形容词比较级。根据句意可知，此处表示“更糟糕的是，你们都盯着对方的杯
子”，因此填bad的比较级。故填worse。
9．答案 to hold
解析 考查非谓语动词。本句中hold与tools是主谓关系，用不定式作后置定语，故填to
hold。
10．答案 concentrating
解析 考查非谓语动词。句中concentrate是动词，作介词by的宾语，应填动名词形式。故
填concentrating。
