By
May,2012，my
family
was
already
distressed.My
mother
had
breast
cancer.And
then
an
ulcer(溃痛)
appeared
on
my
tongue.It
grew
and
wouldn’t
go
away.My
doctor
suggested
a
physical
examination
and
it
was
early
June
when
I
collected
the
reports.
“Your
doctor
will
discuss
the
report
with
you，sir，”
the
nurse
told
me.
“You
can
tell
me，”
I
said.“I
can
deal
with
it.My
mother
has
cancer.”
“It’s
cancer.”
The
result
hit
me，and
I
had
no
idea
how
my
life
and
I
were
about
to
change.
I
shared
the
news
with
my
family.I
couldn’t
help
crying.I
thought
about
what
I
needed
to
do
for
my
family
and
the
everyday
things
as
well.What
was
going
to
happen
to
my
newspaper
column？I
e-mailed
the
concerned
editor
about
my
situation.I
also
sent
her
a
few
columns
to
run
while
I
was
in
treatment.
Two
days
later
I
had
an
operation，and
I
recovered
quickly，but
Mummy
passed
away
soon.Except
for
the
regular
check-ups，life
returned
to
normal.But
a
few
months
on，my
doctor
found
cancer
in
my
neck!
“What
are
my
chances
of
survival？”
I
asked.
“Pick
any
number
between
one
and
hundred，”the
doctor
replied.
I
had
another
operation.This
time
my
doctor
said
I
also
needed
radiation
therapy(化疗)，which
is
very
hard
on
a
patient
with
cancer.But
I
was
again
not
going
to
allow
cancer
to
disturb
my
job
and
life.
I
have
been
cancer-free
for
over
three
years
now.I’ve
been
working，writing
columns
and
appearing
on
my
TV
shows.If
the
disease
returns，I
will
be
unhappy.But
having
experienced
so
much
and
enjoyed
every
day，I
know
I
am
also
better
equipped
to
deal
with
cancer
or
anything
else.

V.完形填空
From
childhood,
Moira
loved
to
write.
Throughout
school
she
1
writing,
but
pursuing(追求)
it
2
was
never
a
possibility.Her
father
was
a
doctor,
her
mother
a
nurse.“Medicine
was
a
fairly
3
choice,
”
Moira
says,
“and
writing
was
a
career
where
it
wasn’t
a
4
that
you’d
have
high
income.”
She
became
a
doctor
but
still
wanted
to
write
something.However，being
a
doctor
was
so
5
that
she
didn’t
take
up
writing
until
her
thirties.She
6
a
novel—a
fictionalized
version
of
her
travel
in
China
after
university.She
got
excellent
7
．Moira
sent
it
off
to
as
many
agents
as
she
could
find，and
found
one
who
wanted
to
8
her.Suddenly,
it
seemed
she
was
on
her
9
as
an
author.
“I
had
one
lengthy
phone
call
with
the
agent
where
we
10
all
possible
areas
that
she
thought
needed
11
.I
worked
on
those
and
sent
it
back
to
her
but
didn’t
hear
anything.”
It
wasn’t
long
12
Moira
found
another
agent
who
was
13
if
she
was
willing
to
rewrite
it
from
the
first
person
to
the
third
person.She
did
the
hard
work
and
sent
it
off
again.
“I
got
back
a
really
brief
letter：‘Thank
you.I’m
no
longer
interested.’It
was
really
14
．”
A
decade
went
by，and
Moira
found
herself
eager
to
write
again,
this
time
15
for
her
own
enjoyment.She
16
herself
the
challenge
of
creating
a
thriller
and
chose
Western
Australia
as
her
setting.
As
she
was
writing
just
for
herself,
something
surprising
began
to
happen.“The
characters
17
a
life
of
their
own；they
started
doing
things
I
hadn’t
thought
about.It
just
18
．”
One
day，an
agent
called
from
Australia.Three
weeks
later，Moira
had
a
publication
deal.Her
novel，Cicada，was
published
in
March.
“
19
it
hadn’t
been
published,
I
still
gained
so
much
from
the
20
，”
says
Moira.

B
By
May,2012，my
family
was
already
distressed.My
mother
had
breast
cancer.And
then
an
ulcer(溃痛)
appeared
on
my
tongue.It
grew
and
wouldn’t
go
away.My
doctor
suggested
a
physical
examination
and
it
was
early
June
when
I
collected
the
reports.
“Your
doctor
will
discuss
the
report
with
you，sir，”
the
nurse
told
me.
“You
can
tell
me，”
I
said.“I
can
deal
with
it.My
mother
has
cancer.”
“It’s
cancer.”
The
result
hit
me，and
I
had
no
idea
how
my
life
and
I
were
about
to
change.
I
shared
the
news
with
my
family.I
couldn’t
help
crying.I
thought
about
what
I
needed
to
do
for
my
family
and
the
everyday
things
as
well.What
was
going
to
happen
to
my
newspaper
column？I
e-mailed
the
concerned
editor
about
my
situation.I
also
sent
her
a
few
columns
to
run
while
I
was
in
treatment.
Two
days
later
I
had
an
operation，and
I
recovered
quickly，but
Mummy
passed
away
soon.Except
for
the
regular
check-ups，life
returned
to
normal.But
a
few
months
on，my
doctor
found
cancer
in
my
neck!
“What
are
my
chances
of
survival？”
I
asked.
“Pick
any
number
between
one
and
hundred，”the
doctor
replied.
I
had
another
operation.This
time
my
doctor
said
I
also
needed
radiation
therapy(化疗)，which
is
very
hard
on
a
patient
with
cancer.But
I
was
again
not
going
to
allow
cancer
to
disturb
my
job
and
life.
I
have
been
cancer-free
for
over
three
years
now.I’ve
been
working，writing
columns
and
appearing
on
my
TV
shows.If
the
disease
returns，I
will
be
unhappy.But
having
experienced
so
much
and
enjoyed
every
day，I
know
I
am
also
better
equipped
to
deal
with
cancer
or
anything
else.

Moira

Throughout

she

writing,
but
pursuing(追求)
it

was
never
a

father
was
a
doctor,
her
mother
a
nurse.“Medicine
was
a
fairly

choice,
”
Moira
says,
“and
writing
was
a
career
where
it
wasn’t
a

you’d
have
high
income.”
She
became
a
doctor
but
still
wanted
to
write
something.However，being

was
so
5
that
she
didn’t
take

sent
it
off
to
as
many

found
one
who
wanted

her.Suddenly,
it
seemed
she
was
on
her

“I

.I
worked
on
those

It

【解题导语】 本文通过Moira爱好写作并坚持写作的故事告诉我们：每个人都要为实现自己的梦想而去努力尝试，只有经历过才能够有所得；在追求的过程中不要过于担心结果，只有这样才能成功。
1．D 解析：根据首句“From
childhood，Moira
loved
to
write.”可知，从童年开始，Moira就爱好写作；由此推断，在上学期间，她仍然喜欢(enjoyed)写作。
2．B 解析：根据生活常识及该句中的关键词“never
a
possibility”可知，把写作当作职业来追求几乎是不可能的。actively“积极地”；professionally“作为职业”；energetically“精力充沛地”；permanently“永久地”。
3．D 解析：根据空处前一句“Her
father
was
a
doctor，her
mother
a
nurse.”可知，她的父母会给予她医学方面很多的帮助，所以Moira认为医学是一个十分安全的(safe)选择。influential“有影响力的”。
4．D 解析：根据空后的“you’d
have
high
income”可知，Moira也认为写作是一个不一定能带来高收入的职业。certainty“确定的事”，符合语境，所以选项D正确。
5．C 解析：根据空后的“she
didn’t
take
up
writing
until
her
thirties”可知，医生是一个要求很高的职业，因此她直到三十多岁才开始写作。promising“有希望的，有前途的”；discouraging“使人泄气的”；demanding“苛刻的，要求高的”；interesting“有趣的”。所以选项C正确。
6．A 解析：根据语境可知，她以大学毕业后在中国的旅游经历为背景创作了一本小说。produce“创作，生产，产生”；introduce“介绍”；buy“买”；receive“收到”。所以选项A正确。
7．C 解析：根据该段最后一句“Suddenly，it
seemed
she
was
on
her
as
an
author.”可以判断，这部小说写出来后，她得到了极好的评论。reward“报酬”；reader“读者”；review“评论”；praise“赞扬”。所以选项C正确。
8．B 解析：根据语境可知，在众多的代理人中有一个人愿意代理出版这本小说。employ“雇用，使用”；represent“代表，代理”；trust“信任”；guide“指导”。所以选项B正确。
9．C 解析：根据语境可知，她似乎突然就要成为作家了。on
one’s
way“即将到达或发生”，所以选项C正确。
10．B 解析：根据语境可知，Moira在电话中与代理人就小说中所有代理人认为需要润色(polishing)的地方进行了仔细琢磨(went
through)。take
off“脱下，起飞”；go
through“仔细察看，仔细琢磨”；pull
down“拆毁，推翻”；come
over“过来，来访”。所以选项B正确。
11．C 解析：参见上题解析。delete“删除”；adapt“适应，改编”；polish“修改，润色”；cover“覆盖，报道”。所以选项C正确。
12．A 解析：根据上文中的“sent
it
back
to
her
but
didn’t
hear
anything”可知，Moira重新把小说发给代理人但是没有收到任何回复，不久之后Moira找到了另外一个代理人。句型It
wasn’t
long
before...意思是“不久之后……”。所以选项A正确。
13．B 解析：根据下文中的“I’m
no
longer
interested.”可知，此处指这位代理人对她的书感兴趣。fascinated“入迷的”；interested“感兴趣的”；anxious“焦急的，忧虑的”；amused“逗笑的”。所以选项B正确。
14．D 解析：从两位代理人的态度可知，Moira这两次都以失败告终，所以这件事情肯定令她感到失望。common“共同的，普遍的”；absurd“荒谬的”；terrifying“令人恐惧的”；disappointing“令人失望的”。所以选项D正确。
15．A 解析：根据该句中的“found
herself
eager
to
write
again...own
enjoyment”可知，她发现自己渴望再次写作，而这次写作仅仅(purely)是为了个人乐趣。purely“仅仅，纯粹地”；wonderfully“非常好，非常”；instantly“立即”；sadly“悲伤地”。所以选项A正确。
16．A 解析：根据语境可知，Moira向自己提出
(set)
了一个挑战，写一部惊险小说。find“发现”；permit“允许，许可”。所以选项A正确。
17．B 解析：根据该句“The
characters
a
life
of
their
own；they
started
doing
things
I
hadn’t
thought
about.”可知，小说中的人物开始具有
(took
on)
他们自己的生活。put
up“建造，张贴”；take
on“开始具有(某种特征、面貌等)”；go
over“仔细检查”；get
down“下来，取下”。所以选项B正确。
18．A 解析：根据下文可知，Moira的书得到了一位澳大利亚代理人的关注并顺利出版；据此可以推断，这部小说成功了。fly“成功”。所以选项A正确。
19．D 解析：根据语境可推断出，即使(Even
if)这部小说没有出版，Moira仍然在这个过程(process)中得到许多。ever
since“自从”；as
if“好像，似乎”；if
only“要是……就好了”；even
if“即使，尽管”。所以选项D正确。
20．C 解析：参见上题解析。adventure“冒险”；practice“实践”；process“过程”。所以选项C正确。
