14、children和对立项a part-time writer for IBM，这里指的不是义务(duty)，努力(effort)，任务(task)，而是工作、职业(job)。3 D 词义比较逻辑推理 指Tracy Wong所处的时期(then)。instead代替，表示对立意义；normally正常地, 通常地；certainly的确，表示对情况或事情的肯定。4 C 前后照应词义比较 当时，写作是个人的兴趣爱好。后句sent three of her stories to a publisher 有所暗示。A. general普通的，一般的；deep深奥的, 难懂的；personal私人的,
15、个人的；lively活泼的, 活跃的。5 A 词义比较句法功能词汇用法 出版商对她的作品感兴趣(interested)，随即向她提出建议。Interested=As they were interested；Encouraged的逻辑主语应是Tracy，而不是出版商；anxiously(忧虑地, 不安地)和seriously(认真地, 真诚地)通常不作句子性副词用，故不能出现在这个位置上。,6 B 前后照应词义比较 出版商加以她把三个故事合起来成为一篇长故事(story)。film，program和article没有存在的前提。7 D 逻辑推理词义比较 对于Tracy这样一个尚不受大众欢迎的(
16、popular)，普通的(unusual)，外国的(foreign)，没有名气的(unknown)小作家，这是不小的一笔钱。8 B 语句连贯前后照应 虽然她的故事人物令人感兴趣，但。注意前后句之间的转折关系。now that既然，表示原因关系；even though即使，即便，表示转折关系；just because就是因为，表示因果关系；except that 除了之外, 只可惜，表示排除意义。9 C 词义辨析 她的那些关于超自然故事有时让/使(leave)读者感到不自在，心神不安。find发现，找到；turn转动，变成；leave使某人处于某种状态，置某人于某种状态；hold把握，保持。10
17、 B 前后照应逻辑推理 作者的母亲认为作者能够沟通来世阴间。后句“She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.“有所暗示。make up弥补, 虚构, 缝制, 整理；connect with连接, 联络；control控制；explain 解释, 说明。,11 D 逻辑推理语法规则 但是作者也确实有这样的感觉(feelings)，机会(chances)，事件(events)，或时刻(moments)。因为紧接在后面的when引导的表示时间的定语从句，修饰前面的moments，故选D。12 A 词义
18、比较前后照应 有时某些事情无缘无故(for no reason)地，而非碰巧(by accident)，从远处(from a distance)，作为礼物式(as gifts)地发生在作者身上。由后文中的Once, she was wondering how to有所暗示。13 C 逻辑推理，前后照应，词义比较 作者一直在纳闷如何完成一个以古代中国为背景的布景场景(scene)的故事，而非描写(description)，指示(pointing)或谈话(talk)。14 B 词义比较逻辑推理 突然（suddenly），门铃响了。surprisingly令人惊讶地；suddenly突然地，表示突发
19、性行为；expectedly不出预料地；fortunately 幸运地。15 B 逻辑推理气候照应 邮递员手里拿着有关中国历史(history)，而非烹调(cooking)，医学(medicine)，戏剧(play)方面的书。前面ancient China有所提示。,16 D 逻辑推理常识运用词义比较 书来得很是蹊跷，作者先前知道(know)、意识到会(realize)有这样的书，但没有送(send)出去过，更没有预定过(order)。按常识道理，没有预定，邮递员不会送东西到家来，更何况是自己想弄的东西。17 A 逻辑推理，词义比较，前后照应 虽然作者已经出版了45本书，可仍然没有由于名誉而有
20、丝毫改变(unchanged)。由后文although in a more comfortable home 说明unmoved不妥。Excited和determined与文意不符。 18 D 逻辑推理常识运用 作者也许在原先的城市(city)，原先的房子(house)居住，但不能是原先的生活(life)，而是以与27年前同样的生活方式(way)生活着。19 D 前后照应逻辑推理 注意与后句的比较。作者不仅仅只是单一的写作了，作者的生活中有了更多的机会或空间来享受生活的多样化(variety)。网上下载，此题原答案为C(joy欢乐)，笔者认为有所不妥，joy缺少比较前提，前文并没有作任何铺垫。
21、joy与success和work一样与后句的it wasnt just writing不形成对立关系。20 A 前后照应 不仅仅只是写作(writing)。注意与文章前面her writing skill，a part-time writer for IBM，writing stories was simply a personal interest的相一致。reporting，luck和fun与文意不符。,英语常见表示“花“的单词,azalea 杜鹃花 begonia 秋海棠花 camellia 山茶花 carnation 麝香石竹(康乃馨) Chinese enkianthus 灯笼花 c
