When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began.
Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.
As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 A.M. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began.
Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun, was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel.
What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if it's the only way.

长难句
原句 Judges will choose up to 50 honorable mention winners, who will each receive a T-shirt in memory of Earhart's final flight.
分析 本句为主从复合句。who will each receive a T-shirt in memory of Earhart's final flight是由who引导的非限制性定语从句。
译文 评委将选出最多50名荣誉奖获得者,他们将各自获得一件T恤,以纪念Earhart的最后一次飞行。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者喜爱写作并制订计划一直坚持下来。
4.B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“当人们问我是如何开始写作的时候,我发现自己在描述一种我感受到的和语言合作的迫切需求。”可知,是作者对写作的强烈兴趣促使她开始她的写作生涯。故选B项。
5.A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“当我回到家时,在工作了一整天后,留给我的写东西的精力已经不够了。”可知,忙碌了一天之后,她筋疲力尽,无法再写作了。故选A项。
6.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三、四句“第一天我把它关掉了,因为我把它放在触手可及的地方。第二天,我设了两个闹钟,一个放在床头柜上,一个放在外面走廊里。”可知,作者在走廊里放了一个闹钟是为了强迫自己起床。故选C项。
7.A 推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句“这就是我早上写作的开始。”和第四段第一句“从1978年的第一个早晨开始,我一直遵循这个习惯,直到今天,不为不写作找或接受太多借口。”可知,作者能够完成小说的原因是坚持每天早上写作。故选A项。
8.C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句“我从摸黑起床工作中得到的是一种掌控一切的感觉。”以及文章第四段第一句“从1978年的第一个早晨开始,我一直遵循这个习惯,直到今天,不为不写作找或接受太多借口。”可知,紧凑的日程并不是不采取行动的借口。故选C项。
长难句
原句 It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing.
分析 这是一个强调句型。句型构成是:It was not until...that...,被强调部分是“not until...”。discovered后为省略that的宾语从句。
译文 直到我跟随这种感觉找到它的源头,我才发现我对写作有热情。
