三、阅读理解
Avi Wortis, known simply as Avi, writes historical novels. Historical novels mix historical facts with storytelling skills. These stories take place in the past. The main characters are not always real; they exist only in stories.
Avi decided to become a writer when he was a student in senior high school. This was quite a decision because he did not write well in school. He had a problem called dysgraphia, a writing disability. The problem caused people to spell words wrongly. Avi always enjoyed reading. He read many types of books as a child. Avi believes that reading is the most important activity for a person who wants to be a writer.
Avi also believes that strong characters make strong stories. He creates characters that can help to bring his ideas to life. His books often deal with questions about life. Writing stories lets him explore many sides of a subject. His favorite part is to make improvements in his writing. For him the hardest part is writing the first draft (草稿).
Avi's first book was published in 1970. He has written more than 45 books ever since. Most of them are for young adult readers. Besides historical novels, he writes comedies and short stories about adventures, animals and so on. Fighting Ground, which was published in 1984, is an example of Avi's historical novels.

答案以及解析
一、
1.答案：Although/Though/While
解析：考查让步状语从句。句意:尽管他认为自己是在帮我们准备晚餐,其实他碍手碍脚。分析句子结构可知，空处引导让步状语从句，意为"尽管"，故填Alhough/Though/While。
2.答案：their
解析：句意: 在正式场合, 人们往往会挺直他们的腰背。backs是名词, 作straighten的宾语, 故空格处填形容词性物主代词作定语, 修饰名词backs。
3.答案：where
解析：句意: 他们的孩子目前所处的阶段是会说单个的词, 但还不会说整句话。stage意为"阶段, 发展时期", 为抽象地点名词, 作先行词时, 一般用where引导定语从句。
4.答案：but
解析：句意: 虽然一些动物已经进化得能与野火共同生存, 但它们现在却面临新的威胁。这些威胁不仅仅来自气候变化, 而且来自人类的发展。"not just...but also...(不但......而且......)"是固定句型, 等于"not only...but also...", 故填but。
5.答案：with
解析：句意:我闭着眼睛都能把车开到我父母家。我对那段路太熟悉了。分析可知此处为with的复合结构,即"with+宾语+补足语"，故填with。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的For him the hardest part is writing the first draft(草稿).可知Avi认为写作中最难的是写初稿,故选B项。
