I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer." 注：1.一段首句細節，二段首句是文章主題句，本文為文科文章，以態度為切入點 2.But 轉折，表明了作者負態度，但I always encourage such people, but I also... 全句來看是混合(中立)態度。 The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all: What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. 注：1.fortune 幸運，財富 2.本段首句主題句，第二段結論句，career 事業，經歷 3.manual 手動 genuine 真正的 gene 基因 After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering; what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test --- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 注：After a year 對應58題 59. "... people who die wondering, What if?" (Line 3, Para. 3) refers to "those _________" A) who think too much of the dark side of life B) who regret giving up their career halfway C) who think a lot without making a decision D) who are full of imagination even upon death 注：不能根據字面意思，要看上下文關系來做。 ●句子含義題做題方法：根據上下句之間相同、相反或解釋說明等關系做題。根據該句話本身字面意思得出的選項為干擾選項。（該原則適用于詞匯題） 60. "Shadowland" in the last sentence refers to _________ A) the wonderland one often dreams about B) the bright future that one is looking forward to C) the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reached D) a world that exists only in one's imagination 注：出現在最后一句，但應從前一句中尋找答案。A、B和D項都是字面意思 56.The passage is meant to _________. A) warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience B) advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer C) show young people it' s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame D) encourage young people to pursue a writing career 注：1.主題題。二段首句是文章主題句，本文為文科文章，以態度為切入點。 2.B和C項都是片面負態度，而文章中作者持混合(中立)態度，故可以排除這兩項 57. What can be concluded from the passage? A) Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. B) A writer s success depends on luck rather than on effort. C) Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation. D) The chances for a writer to become successful are small. 注：推理題。第二段第二句的同義改寫，定位方法：順序原則(58題的關鍵詞出現在第三段，所以此題應該是在第二段) The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all: What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. 58. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? A) He wasn' t able to produce a single book. B) He hadn't seen a change for the better. C) He wasn' t able to have a rest for a whole year. D) He found his dream would never come true. 注：第三段第一句的同義改寫，D項中的never 為絕對語氣詞，故不選 After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering; what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test --- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. |
