B
I left university with a good degree in English Literature,but no sense of what wanted to do.Over the next six years,I was treading water,just trying to earn an income.I tried journalism,but I didn’t think I was any good,then finance,which I hated.Finally,I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.I loved working with books,although the job that I did was dull.?
I had enough savings to take a year off work,and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel.Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other.You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do,and you’re too ashamed to say,“Well,I’m writing a novel,but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.My confidence dived.Believing my novel could not be published,I put it aside.”
Then I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents.So,I did and,to my surprise,got some wonderful feedback.I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and,after signing with an agent,I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher.After two and a half years of no income,just waiting and wondering,a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate,really.When you set out to do something different,there’s no end in sight,so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding(有回報的).

【文章大意】本文是記敘文,講述了“我”發表第一本小說的過程。雖然“我”以優異的英語文學成績畢業,但是近6年來自己做的工作不盡如人意,于是萌發了寫小說的想法。經過一番挫折,“我”終于如愿以償。
1.C 句意理解題。聯系后面“我”嘗試了各種工作但是都不如意可知,“我”毫無目的地做著事情,只是為了糊口。A、B兩項均有一定干擾性,聯系“just trying to earn an income”可以排除這兩個選項。
2.B 細節理解題。從文中“to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel”可知,寫小說是“我”的夢想。D項有一定干擾性,聯系文章可知,“我”在積攢了一些能從事寫作的錢后就為夢想拼搏了,因此“我”寫作的目的不是為了錢。
3.D 細節理解題。聯系第三段中的“I’m writing a novel,but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.My confidence dived.”可知,在寫作中途,“我”對完成小說是沒有把握的,“我”并不自信。
4.A 目的意圖題。從文章最后一段首句“It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate,really.”可知,本段是想告訴我們做什么事情都要付出代價的。
二、語法填空(共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿分15分)

(2024·河北衡水聯考)
1.without。根據前面“He had a hard life”可知他很多年都沒有和家人聯系了。故用介詞without。
2.but。 “Later he wanted to go home”和“he was afraid that his parents might not welcome him”是轉折關系,故用連詞but。
3.expressing。前面的主語he和動詞express是主動關系,故用現在分詞expressing。
4.the。介詞短語on the tree“在樹上”。
5.If。根據語境可知此處用連詞if引導條件狀語從句。
6.nervously。所填詞修飾前面的動詞waited,應用副詞nervously。
7.was decorated。文章的主體時態是一般過去時,主語是the tree且和decorate是被動關系,故用was decorated。
8.which/that。本句是定語從句,先行詞white ribbons在后面的從句中充當主語,故用關系代詞which或that。
9.they。所填詞指代前面的his family,用代詞主格they。
10.happiness。形容詞whole-hearted修飾名詞,故后面用happy的名詞形式happiness。

【文章大意】作者小時候經常幫助父親清洗梳子,這讓作者感受到了與父親和家人相處的愉快,所以對這項看似單調的任務樂此不疲。后來,由于父親的公司運營狀況不好,父親與作者相處的時光越來越少,作者不免心生抱怨。但是在作者28歲生日那天,當父親再次要作者為自己清洗梳子的時候,作者看到了父親滿是皺紋的笑容,從中作者感悟到了:原來父親一直熱愛這個家庭,只不過是換了一種方式而已。
1.C 根據下文可知,父親讓作者為他清洗梳子(comb)。
2.D 根據下文“I would excitedly...and brush the comb carefully.”以及倒數第二段第一句“...as a child...clean his comb was such a pleasure.”可知,作者很樂于幫助父親清洗梳子。annoyed“氣惱的”;relieved“放松的”;ashamed“羞恥的,羞愧的”;pleased“高興的”。
3.A 由作者樂于幫助父親清洗梳子可以推知,洗梳子的過程給作者帶來了快樂(joy)。
4.D 根據常識可知,清洗梳子應該首先把水龍頭打開。turn on表示“打開”。
5.B 此處應該意為“對著我深情地微笑”。stare at“凝視”;shout at“對……喊/吼叫”;laugh at“因……而發笑,嘲笑”。
6.B 根據第四段第一句“...Dad’s business was getting back on track.”可以推知,此處指父親開辦了一家公司(business),但是公司的運營狀況一直不是很好。
7.B 通過下面幾句可知,父親開辦了公司以后情況開始變化(change)。
8.C 根據后面的原因狀語“for placing our family in trouble”可以推知,作者和母親對于父親讓家庭深陷困境非常不滿。be mad with sb.為固定搭配,表示“對某人非常惱火”。be satisfied with“對……滿意”;be delighted with“對……非常高興/滿意”;be strict with“對……嚴格”。
9.A 隨著時間的流逝,一家人之間滋生了一種讓人不舒服的沉默。with time表示“隨著時間的流逝”。
10.B 此處指父親在作者28歲生日那天回家很早(early)。occasionally“偶爾”;frequently“頻繁地”;rarely“很少”。
11.C 根據最后一段第一句“I passed the clean comb back to Dad.”可知,父親又一次讓作者幫他清洗(clean)梳子。
12.B 此處指作者拿過(took)梳子然后朝著水池走去。take可以表示“(從某人那里)拿過/接過某物”。
13.C 根據第二段的敘述可知,作者在小的時候經常幫助(helping)父親清洗梳子并以此為樂。
14.D 作者認為幫助父親洗梳子就意味著父親回家很早,能夠跟媽媽和作者一起共度(spend)美好時光。
15.C 一家人一起共度美好時光就意味著擁有一個幸福、充滿愛的家庭。
16.D 這把梳子是作者幫父親洗的,蘊含著作者對父親的關愛,所以父親應該會很小心翼翼地(carefully)把它放起來。firmly“堅定地”;hurriedly“匆忙地”;casually“隨意地”。
17.A 根據下面兩句可知,與小時候相比,作者在給父親遞梳子的時候注意到了父親的衰老,這種情況跟小時候是不同的(different)。
18.D 父親在微笑的時候眼角浮現出皺紋,但是(yet)他的笑容依然像從前一樣暖人心房。
19.B 見上一題解析。heartwarming“溫暖人心的”。

二、七選五閱讀填空(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)
Travel manners
Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable.Every society also has its taboos,or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners.
The word taboo comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. 1 They tend to be specific to a culture or country,and usually form around a group’s values and beliefs.What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.?
Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly,or relate to one’s manner of speaking.In many cultures,for example,it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public.In some countries,the volume of one’s voice may annoy people. 2 ?
