18、答案与解析Tracy Wong 是一位著名的美籍华人作家。他的写作技巧怎样，他的作品有什么特点，他为什么会这样？文章会告诉你。1ATracy Wong 是一位著名的美籍华人作家。其写作技能(skill)是自学的。后文大部分谈到了她的技能与技巧。skill 技能，技巧； experience 经验，体验，经历，阅历； practice 实践，实习； method 方法。选A。2C从后文作同位语的 teaching disabled children 和对立项 a parttime writer for IBM，这里指的不是义务(duty)，努力(effort)，任务(task)，而是工作、职业(
19、job)。选C。3D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。选D。4C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。general 普通的，一般的； deep 深奥的，难懂的； personal 私人的，个人的； lively 活泼的，活跃的。选C。5A出版商对她的作品感兴趣(interested)，随即向她提出建议。Interested“As” they were interest
20、ed; 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。选A。6B出版商建议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。选B。7D对于 Tracy 这样一个尚不受大众欢迎的(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。选D。8B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
21、，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，表示排除意义。选B。9C她的那些关于超自然的故事有时让/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。选C。10B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
22、补，虚构，缝制，整理； connect with 连接，联络； control 控制； explain 解释，说明。选B。11D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。12A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
23、所暗示。选A。13C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(scene)的故事，而非描写(description)，指示(pointing)或谈话(talk)。选C。14B突然(suddenly)，门铃响了。surprisingly 令人惊讶地； suddenly 突然地，表示突发性行为； expectedly 不出预料地； fortunately 幸运地。选B。15B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。选B。16D书来得很是蹊跷，作者先前
24、知道(know)、意识到会(realize)有这样的书，但没有送(send)出去过，更没有预订过(order)。按常识道理，没有预订，邮递员不会送东西到家来，更何况是自己想要的东西。选D。17A虽然作者已经出版了45本书，可仍然没有由于名誉而有丝毫改变(unchanged)。由后文 although in a more comfortable home 说明 unmoved 不妥。excited 和 determined 与文意不符。选A。18D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。选D。
25、19C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。joy 与 success 和 work 一样与后句的 it wasnt just writing 不形成对立关系。选C。20A不仅仅只是写作(writing)。注意与文章前面 her writing skill, a parttime writer for IBM, writing stories was simply a personal interest 的相一致。rep
26、orting, luck 和 fun 与文意不符。选A。.阅读理解A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favourite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech.

31、 Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients.
