參考答案：一、完形填空1. A解析：根據(jù)上文中的“heshowedgreatinterestinreadingbooks”可知，WalterMyers對(duì)讀書非常感興趣，他常常整天埋頭讀書。beburiedin意為“埋頭于”，符合語境。2.B解析：根據(jù)第二段中的“Sohechosetowritethestoriesthatreflectthelivesofkids”可知，WalterMyers寫了一百多本書，大部分書都是寫給孩子們的。故選B項(xiàng)。3. D解析：根據(jù)語境可知，此處講的是他小時(shí)候的經(jīng)歷，故選D項(xiàng)，意為“撫養(yǎng)”。他在一個(gè)黑人街區(qū)里被撫養(yǎng)長(zhǎng)大。4. A解析：根據(jù)下文中的“Buthecouldn’tfindmanybooksaboutthestoriesof5people”和下文對(duì)WalterMyers的寫作過程的介紹可知，他喜歡觀察社區(qū)里的人。故選A項(xiàng)。5. C解析：根據(jù)下文中的“Sohechosetowritethestoriesthatreflectthelivesofkids”可知，WalterMyers找不到寫普通人的書。故選C項(xiàng)。6. C解析：結(jié)合空前的abandoned可知，有些孩子感到被遺棄了，或者絕望。Hopeless“感到(或顯得)無望的”，符合語境。7. C解析：根據(jù)空前內(nèi)容可知，這里是說“但他們會(huì)拿起我的書，然后找到他們自己或他們的家人”。8. A解析：根據(jù)空后的“towriteasmanybooksasMyersdoes”可知，寫書需要付出很多努力，故選A項(xiàng)，表示“努力”。9.D解析：WalterMyers在早上很早起床，然后開始自己的寫作。10. A解析：根據(jù)下文中的“whichhecallsprewriting”可知，在寫作之前，WalterMyers首先要給每本書寫提綱(outline)。11. A解析：根據(jù)下文中的“enoughactionanddialogueforagoodstory”可知，為了給故事提供足夠的情節(jié)和對(duì)白，WalterMyers會(huì)想出三十個(gè)場(chǎng)景。12.C解析：根據(jù)下文中的“Hewritesashortdescriptionofeachsceneinhisnotebook”可知，選C項(xiàng)。13. B解析：根據(jù)下文中的“pins(用圖釘打住)themonhisofficewallstogetideasforcharacters”可知，WalterMyers剪下真人的圖片，然后釘在辦公室的墻壁上。cutout意為“剪下”，符合語境。putdown“放下”，tearup“把撕碎”，breakup“分裂''，均不符合語境。14. D解析：根據(jù)語境可知，一旦他確定了故事情節(jié)和人物，他就開始進(jìn)行寫作。故選D項(xiàng)。15. A解析：根據(jù)空后的“fivepagesadayonhiscomputer”可知，WalterMyers—天在電腦上完成五頁(內(nèi)容)。16.B解析：根據(jù)上文中的“hemightberewritingsomething”可知，WalterMyers可能會(huì)重新寫已經(jīng)(構(gòu)思)完成的內(nèi)容。complete意為“完成”。17.A解析：WalterMyers寫完之后，會(huì)把故事寄給編輯們。故選A項(xiàng)，意為“編輯”。18. C解析：編輯們提出一些建議，在作出最后的調(diào)整之后，書就會(huì)被出版。結(jié)合上文中的“Theymaymakesuggestionsforthestory”可知，編輯提出建議，然后修改，故選C項(xiàng)。19.B解析：根據(jù)語境可知，空處填makes,makeone’swayto...意為“前往……”。書出版之后，會(huì)送到書店
