2007.12阅读第一篇
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no
shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition,
my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories.
She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last
year.
As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what
it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I
also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous
victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about
being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.
A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win
again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first
grade.”
I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told
them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer
across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales.
The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into
the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had
turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.
Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I
know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I
had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience.
While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I
will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough a way to give her room
but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that
children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.

题目解析
题目问从第一 段可以得知什么。第一段的大意如下:在这个网络聊天、
视频游戏和电视真人秀的时代,供孩子们消遣的 无聊活动当然也不会少。但我8
岁的女儿丽贝卡却把空闲时间用来写短篇小说。她想要拿出一篇小说来参 加一个
写作大赛。在去年的上一届比赛中,她获得了优胜。
A,如今大量娱乐活动在为儿童竞争(即现在的儿童有充足的娱乐活动)。
文章开篇的In this age of 词组与A中的nowadays在时间上相互呼应。there is no
shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied中的 shortage是“少”的意
思,但no shortage of并不仅指有一些,而是“较为丰富”,如there is no shortage
of tall buildings here,这里的高楼可不少。从这一句可以看出,供孩子们消遣娱
乐 的活动确实很多,可以由此推出A的结论。
B, 孩子们确实在许多无聊活动中得到了乐趣。作者 只是指出供孩子
选择的娱乐活动很多,但没有指明孩子们是否从中得到了乐趣。从mindless(没

头脑的, 不用脑子的)一 词可以看出,作者对这些活动至少是持有怀疑态度的。另
外,从文中可知作者的女儿对这些活动没有兴趣 ,当然也谈不上乐趣,可以作为
一个反例。
C,丽贝卡太忙而不能享受空余时间。文中只 说丽贝卡把空闲时间用来
写小说,[考试[大]是不是真的太忙不能确定。另外写小说本身也许即是丽贝 卡的
享受空闲时间的方式,那样的话她也就是在完全地享受自己的空闲时间,C的叙
述不对。
D,丽贝卡从网络上汲取了很多写作材料。这句话和文意相去甚远,只
要理解了第一段的意 思,相信排除该选项不会太难。
58. What did the author say about her own writing experience?
A) She was constantly under pressure of writing more.
B) Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.
C) She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.
D) Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.
题目问作者讲了自己的哪些写作经历。
作者介绍自己的写作经历是在文章的第二段前半部分。大意 是:“作为
一个作家,我享受过夺得竞赛优胜的喜悦,也品尝过失败的滋味。我知道辛辛苦
苦写 出来一个故事、结果却得到一张出版商的退稿信时的感受。我同样知道夺得
优胜后再想保住这份荣誉的压 力。”
A, 她经常处在要写作更多作品的压力之下。文中只说作者在卫冕比
赛优胜时有 压力,而不是写作新作品时,因此A的说法不对。
B, 她大部分小说都被出版商退稿了。文中说 作者的稿件被退过,没
有提到是否大部分都被退稿。从文章大体可以推断出作者是一个成功的作家,一< br>个成功作家不可能大部分作品都被退稿。
C,作为作家,她对保住荣誉并不在意。从I also know the pressure of
trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories一句可以看出,作者为
保住荣誉承受过很大压力,C的说法与文意恰好相反。
D,她的成功之路充满痛苦和挫折。根据第二段前半部分的叙述可知,
作者品尝过失败,体 验过小说被退稿的感受,承受过保住荣誉的压力,恰好可以
由D的说法来概括。
59. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?
A) She had won a prize in the previous contest.
B) She wanted to share her stories with readers.
C) She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.
D) She believed she possessed real talent for writing.
题目问丽贝卡想要参加今年的写作比赛的原因。
A, 她在上一届比赛中获得了优胜。言下之意是她是为了卫冕而参加
比赛,但文中的对话“Don’t you want to win again?” “No,”显示,丽贝卡对
能否夺冠并不在意。因此A的说法站不住脚。
B, 她想和读者分享她的故事。文中有一句话——she replied, “I just
want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade .”意思是她想告诉人们一个上小
学一年级的天使的故事,也即想与人们(至少是读到它的人)分享这个 故事,这与
B的说法是一致的。
C,她自信在妈妈的帮助下可以获得优胜。这一点与文意不符。首先,

从对A的分析可知,她并不在意是否获 得优胜;其次,从文中大体可知她早已决
定参加比赛,妈妈的帮助应该是后来的事情,那么在决定参加比 赛时她就不一定
考虑过妈妈的帮助。
D,她相信自己具备真正的写作才能。文章没有任何 一处地方提及类似
内容,也就无从判断是否如此,因此不能选D。
