Passage 1
（2024·广东·一模）A Letter from Willa Cather to President Tomas Masaryk
Honored sir,
Your letter, sent to me through your Legation at Washington, confers upon me great honor and gives me great pleasure. I am glad to have carried a message from the
Bohemian (波希米亚) neighbors, whom I grew up with, to their home country of the Czech Republic. I have just returned to New York, where I had the pleasure of taking Annie Pavelka, the living “Antonia” in my book My Antonia, and six of her children to the first screening of A Lost Lady. I have the good fortune to preserve relations with most of my characters. “Antonia” and her splendid children are flesh and blood realities. Every time I go back to them, I feel how much more interesting and lovable they are than my picture of them. I wish I could present them to you in person.
I regret that I cannot satisfactorily meet your kind request for biographical (传记的) material. I avoid biographers, asking them to wait until I get my work further along. My first novel was published in 1912, and a period of twelve years is hardly long enough for a writer to find the form best suited for writing. I was not young when I began to write, and though living is a good preparation for writing, I do need more time to acquire a simple and modest way of presenting my work, however well I know what I wish to present.
I am able to send you a very good photograph taken recently. I enclose a short biographical account which my publishers use for publicity purposes, and some casual reviews. Biographies usually begin to come along just about the time a writer has no more to say, and Ido not feel that time has yet come to me.
I beg you, President Masaryk, to believe in my grateful appreciation of your letter.
Respectfully yours,
Willa Cather
1．Who is Antonia
A．A director of a movie. B．A character in a book.
C．Cather’s relative in New York. D．Cather’s neighbor from Bohemia.
2．What does the author need for a most suitable writing style according to paragraph 3
A．Time. B．Youth. C．Publishers’ advice. D．Financial support.
3．What does writing a biography mean to the author according to paragraph 4
A．An inspiration to her readers. B．A record of her achievements.
C．A window into a writer’s world. D．An endpoint in a writer’s career.
4．What is the author’s purpose in writing this letter
A．To rebuild her Bohemian connection. B．To decline the president’s request.
C．To explain her philosophy of writing. D．To appreciate the president’s interest.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B
【导语】这是一封应用文。文章介绍了美国作家Willa Cather礼貌谢绝Tomas Masaryk总统索要详尽的个人传记资料的请求。
1．细节理解题。根据第二段“I have just returned to New York, where I had the pleasure of taking Annie Pavelka, the living “Antonia” in my book My Antonia, and six of her children to the first screening of A Lost Lady.(我刚刚回到纽约，在那里我有幸带着我的书My Antonia中活生生的“安东尼娅”安妮·帕维尔卡和她的六个孩子去看了《迷失的女人》的第一场放映)”可知，Antonia是书中的人物。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段“I was not young when I began to write, and though living is a good preparation for writing, I do need more time to acquire a simple and modest way of presenting my work, however well I know what I wish to present.(我开始写作的时候并不年轻，虽然生活是写作的一个很好的准备，但我确实需要更多的时间来掌握一种简单而谦虚的方式来展示我的作品，无论我多么清楚我想展示什么)”可知，作者表达了拒绝的遗憾，并解释她需要时间去完善写作风格。故选A。
3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Biographies usually begin to come along just about the time a writer has no more to say, and Ido not feel that time has yet come to me.(传记通常是在作家无话可说的时候开始出现的，而我却不觉得时机已经到了)”可推知，写传记对作者来说意味着作家生涯的终点。故选D。
4．推理判断题。根据第三段“I regret that I cannot satisfactorily meet your kind request for biographical (传记的) material.(很遗憾，我不能满意地满足您对传记资料的要求)”以及文章内容可知，这封信的目的是谢绝Masaryk总统索要详尽的个人传记资料的请求。为此，作者首先感谢总统的来信；分享与过去的人和小说中的人物联系的喜悦；解释不能提供传记材料的原因；附上一张近照和一段简短的传记以示对该请求的尊重和感激。故选B。

Passage 1
（2024·广东·一模）A Letter from Willa Cather to President Tomas Masaryk
Honored sir,
Your letter, sent to me through your Legation at Washington, confers upon me great honor and gives me great pleasure. I am glad to have carried a message from the
Bohemian (波希米亚) neighbors, whom I grew up with, to their home country of the Czech Republic. I have just returned to New York, where I had the pleasure of taking Annie Pavelka, the living “Antonia” in my book My Antonia, and six of her children to the first screening of A Lost Lady. I have the good fortune to preserve relations with most of my characters. “Antonia” and her splendid children are flesh and blood realities. Every time I go back to them, I feel how much more interesting and lovable they are than my picture of them. I wish I could present them to you in person.
I regret that I cannot satisfactorily meet your kind request for biographical (传记的) material. I avoid biographers, asking them to wait until I get my work further along. My first novel was published in 1912, and a period of twelve years is hardly long enough for a writer to find the form best suited for writing. I was not young when I began to write, and though living is a good preparation for writing, I do need more time to acquire a simple and modest way of presenting my work, however well I know what I wish to present.
I am able to send you a very good photograph taken recently. I enclose a short biographical account which my publishers use for publicity purposes, and some casual reviews. Biographies usually begin to come along just about the time a writer has no more to say, and Ido not feel that time has yet come to me.
I beg you, President Masaryk, to believe in my grateful appreciation of your letter.
Respectfully yours,
Willa Cather

A．A director of a movie. B．A character in a book.
C．Cather’s relative in New York. D．Cather’s neighbor from Bohemia.
2．What does the author need for a most suitable writing style according to paragraph 3

C．A window into a writer’s world. D．An endpoint in a writer’s career.
4．What is the author’s purpose in writing this letter
A．To rebuild her Bohemian connection. B．To decline the president’s request.
C．To explain her philosophy of writing. D．To appreciate the president’s interest.
