27、为A。writing skill意为“写作技能”，pick up writing skill意为“培养写作技能”。experience不能与pick up搭配。22A.duty BeffortCjob Dtask答案：C逗号后的teaching disabled children是her first_22_的同位语，同时也与后面的a parttime writer相呼应，故此处选job。23A.Instead BNormallyCCertainly DThen答案：D前面说she became a parttime writer for IBM，以下说写作只是个人爱好，即那时写作只是她的个人爱
28、好，故填Then。 24A.general BdeepCpersonal Dlively答案：C从上下文来看，writing stories并非专职工作，只是一件parttime job，由此可判断这是personal interest。25A.Interested BAnxiouslyCSeriously DEncouraged答案：A从后面的他们(the publisher)立即提出了修改等来推测，出版商对她写的故事产生了兴趣。26A.film BstoryCprogram Darticle答案：B由they immediately suggested that she put them
29、together to make.可推测，此处说的是把3篇短的故事糅合在一起构成1篇长故事，故选用story。27A.a foreign Ba popularCan unusual Dan unknown答案：DTracy Wong刚刚开始写小说，名不见经传，故可推测她是“不出名”的作家最为恰当。28A.Now that BEven thoughCJust because DExcept that答案：B该题考查根据上下文来选用适当的连接词的掌握情况。前面说Tracy所写的人物很有意思，后面说her stories sometimes_29_readers uneasy可推测，该从句应为让步状
30、语从句，而even though正符合这一意义。29A.find BturnCleave Dhold答案：C此处说她写的故事有时让读者不安或不舒服。在这4个选项中只有leave具有这一用法。30A.make up Bconnect withCcontrol Dexplain答案：B从后面她说的话She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago及下段的内容说明可知，她与afterlife world有关，故用connect with。31A.events BchancesCfeelings Dmoment
31、s答案：D前面说“我认为我不能”，紧接着用but引出确有这些时刻发生了一些事，故用moments，后面的when things come to me.是修饰moments的定语从句。32A.for no reason Bfrom a distanceCby accident Das gifts答案：A从上下文来看，此处是Tracy说自己与afterlife world有关的故事创作，这里是举例说明有时一些事情会“无缘无故”地发生。33A.description BpaintingCscene Dtalk答案：C从语境来看，这里谈论的是她写书时的一件怪事。句意为“当时她正不知道怎么完成一个以古代
32、中国为背景的场景”。这是她写的故事中一个场景，故用scene。从结构来看，此处补充完整为：.how to complete a scene which was set in ancient China。34A.Surprisingly BSuddenlyCExpectedly DFortunately答案：B根据语境“正当她不知怎么完成一个以古代中国为背景的场景时，突然门铃响了”。此处用suddenly突出两个动作的发生相继而来，衔接紧凑，同时突出了“没想到”。35A.cooking BhistoryCplay Dmedicine答案：B她正构思以古代中国为背景的某个场景，而邮政快递人员送来的
33、书正好解了燃眉之急，故可推测应是一本有关中国历史的书。36A.known BsentCrealized Dordered答案：Dorder意为“订购，预定”，在此符合语境。37A.unchanged BexcitedCdetermined Dunmoved答案：A从后面的She lives in the same.及动词remain来看，这里说的是尽管她出版了10本书，Tracy并没因成名而改变，即仍保持不变。 38A.life BcityChouse Dway答案：D前面说她并没有因成名而变化，即此处说的是她成名后生活方式没有变化，仍然保持着27年前的生活方式。 39A.success BworkCjoy Dvariety答案：C由下文可知她的时间不是全用来写作，有“娱乐”的时间。40A.writing BreportingCluck Dfun答案：A从上文的although in a more comfortable home及下文it wasnt just.来看，此处说的是Tracy并没有只是埋头“写作”，而是生活中有更多的空间留给“娱乐”。
