解析试题分析: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。
【小题1】考查词义比较前后照应 Tracy 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.
【小题2】考查前后照应词义比较 从后文作同位语的teaching disabled 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)。选C。
【小题3】考查词义比较逻辑推理 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。选D。
【小题4】考查前后照应词义比较 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, 个人的;lively活泼的, 活跃的。选C。
【小题5】考查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。选A。
【小题6】考查前后照应词义比较 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。选B。
【小题7】考查逻辑推理词义比较 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。
【小题8】考查语句连贯前后照应 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。选B。
【小题9】考查词义辨析 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。选C。
【小题10】考查前后照应逻辑推理 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。选B。
【小题11】考查逻辑推理语法规则 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。
【小题12】考查词义比较前后照应 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。选A。
【小题13】考查逻辑推理,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)。选C。
【小题14】考查词义比较逻辑推理 突然(suddenly),门铃响了。surprisingly令人惊讶地;suddenly突然地,表示突发性行为;expectedly不出预料地;fortunately 幸运地。选B。
【小题15】考查逻辑推理气候照应 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。选B
【小题16】考查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。选D。
【小题17】考查逻辑推理,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
【小题18】考查逻辑推理常识运用 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。选D。
【小题19】考查前后照应逻辑推理 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 wasn't just writing不形成对立关系。选C。
【小题20】考查前后照应: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。选A。

I was 14 when Mr. Ingram hired me as a farmhand. It was the first time I was actually      for work. One day Mr. Ingram found an old truck that was      in the soft,sandy soil of our field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to      from our farm before his truck got caught in the mud.
Mr. Ingram explained that the truck’s owner would be       soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasn’t long       a local guy with a terrible reputation for fighting and stealing showed up with his two fully-grown sons. They looked really       .
Calmly Mr. Ingram said, “Well, I see you want to       some watermelons from us.”
There was a long       before the man answered, “Yeah, I guess so. What are you       for them?”
“Twenty-five cents each.”
“Well, I suppose that would be       enough if you help me get my truck out of here,” the man said.
It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an awful, perhaps violent incident had been      . After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me, “Son, if you don’t forgive your    , you’re going to run out of friends.”

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg      a few coins, do you hurry on, not    what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly    some money? What should our attitude   beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It   be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems      not to give some money to beggars.
   , most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and    what we have with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days,     one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their    .
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up    to look pitiable and actually make a good   from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil.
    , there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.
Thirdly, there is the opinion    there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of    and self-dependence.
There is an opinion that the problem should be handled by the government    ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and     help.

As a young social worker in a New York City psychiatric clinic, I was asked to see Roz, a 20-year-old woman who had been referred to us from another psychiatric clinic. It was an     referral in that no information was received     her first appointment. I was told to “play it by ear”, and to     what her problems were and what she needed.
  an examination to go on, I saw Roz as an unhappy, misunderstood young woman who hadn’t been listened to in her earlier treatment. Her family situation was unpleasant. I didn’t see her as disturbed,       rather as lonely and misunderstood. She responded so     to being heard. I encouraged her to start a life worth living — to find a job, a satisfying place to live and new relationships. We hit it off well, and she     making important changes in her life.
The records from the previous psychiatric clinic arrived a month after Roz and I began our successful work together. To my complete surprise, her records were several inches thick,       a long period of psychiastric hospitalization. Her diagnosis was “paranoid schizophrenic(妄想型精神分裂症)”, with a      that she was “hopeless”.
That had not been my experience with Roz at all so I decided to forget those pieces of paper. I never treated her as if she had that “hopeless” treatment. I did find out about the horrors for Roz of the hospitalization, of being drugged, separated and abused. I also learned a lot from her about     such deeply and unforgettably shocking circumstances.
First Roz found a job, then a place to live away from her difficult     . After several months of working together, she introduced me to her husband-to-be, a successful businessman who adored her.
When we     our treatment, Roz gave me the gift of a silver bookmark and a note that said, “Thank you for believing and encouraging me.”
