答案与解析:
本文是一篇关于WritingDowntheBones:
FreeingtheWriterWithin的书评。
作者在文中讲述了自己曾经因为泛泛而读、不能理解书中的真谛;后来他有转变了自己的阅读方式,从而明白了书的作者NatalieGoldberg的真正意图。
1、B。
判断推理题。
从第二段的“ThenIrealizedIhadbeendoingitallwrong.….inahandfulofreadingsessions.”可知,作者在开始的时候阅读的方式不对。
2、D。
词义猜测题。
从第二段的“….chaptersshouldbeexperiencedseparately---thisisabookforsnackingonoveraperiodoftime…”可知,作者发现这本书应该每一章节分开来读,而且要长时间的慢慢品味。
所以gorgingon应该与snackingon的意思相反,所以选D。
3、B。
细节理解题。
从第三段的“Thiswomanhashadfalsestartsandpersonalcrisesandself-doubt”可知B项符合。
4、A。
主旨大义题。
从第四段的“…howaboutsettingupaspontaneouswritingboothatanoutdoorfairorfestival…”可知,Goldberg认为建立一个发自内心的写作间,而她同时也认为过去的kissingbooth总是受到人们的欢饮(ahit)---从这可以推测出A项符合题意。
5、C。
判断推理题。
从第五段的“shepreferstohavewordswritteninfullbyhandratherthanonacomputerbecauseitseemsmorepersonalandclosertotheheart”可知Goldberg认为用手写作(byhand)可以更好地再现一个人的内心和自我。
故选C。
