。作者介紹自己的寫作經(jīng)歷是在文章的第二段前半部分。大意是：“作為一個作家，我享受過奪得競賽優(yōu)勝的喜悅，也品嘗過失敗的滋味。我知道辛辛苦苦寫出來一個故事、結果卻得到一張出版商的退稿信時的感受。我同樣知道奪得優(yōu)勝后再想保住這份榮譽的壓力?！盇，她經(jīng)常處在要寫作更多作品的壓力之下。文中只說作者在衛(wèi)冕比賽優(yōu)勝時有壓力，而不是寫作新作品時，因此A的說法不對。B，她大部分小說都被出版商退稿了。文中說作者的稿件被退過，沒有提到是否大部分都被退稿。從文章大體可以推斷出作者是一個成功的作家，一個成功作家不可能大部分作品都被退稿。C，作為作家，她對保住榮譽并不在意。從I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories一句可以看出，作者為保住榮譽承受過很大壓力，C的說法與文意恰好相反。D，她的成功之路充滿痛苦和挫折。根據(jù)第二段前半部分的敘述可知，作者品嘗過失敗，體驗過小說被退稿的感受，承受過保住榮譽的壓力，恰好可以由D的說法來概括。 did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?A)She had won a prize

you want to win again?” “No,”顯示，麗貝卡對能否奪冠并不在意。因此A的說法站不住腳。B，她想和讀者分享她的故事。文中有一句話——she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”意思是她想告訴人們一個上小學一年級的天使的故事，也即想與人們(至少是讀到它的人)分享這個故事，這與B的說法是一致的。C，她自信在媽媽的幫助下可以獲得優(yōu)勝。這一點與文意不符。首先，在線學英語 體驗請申請：從對A的分析可知，她并不在意是否獲得優(yōu)勝。其次，從文中大體可知她早已決定參加比賽，媽媽的幫助應該是后來的事情，那么在決定參加比賽時她就不一定考慮過媽媽的幫助。D，她相信自己具備真正的寫作才能。文章沒有任何一處地方提及類似內容，也就無從判斷是否如此，因此不能選D?！俺汕先f人瘋狂下載。更多價值連城的絕密英語學習資料，洛基內部秘密英語，技巧，策略請在 網(wǎng)上

will)。這個段落有這樣一個特點，即事件本身只是在句中附帶提到，敘述的重點在于社區(qū)對與此事相關的學校、教師的支持。這也暗示了后文的敘述方向不會是對資金短缺事件的原委的敘述，而是各方對此事的反應。從全文來看，包括社區(qū)、教師、官方、企業(yè)以及學生的反應。接下來的第二段敘述了教師們對社區(qū)支持的反應(grateful)，而后用教師們的想法傳達出資金短缺事件的解決難度(impossible for then to solve this problem，社區(qū)支持不可能解決問題)。下一段進一步透露出事件的其他信息：發(fā)現(xiàn)時間(last month)，并交代了州官員的反應：驚詫(Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level)。下三小段繼續(xù)敘述官方的進一步行動：為教師工資提供貸款( million loan that enabled the payroll)，從學生活動資金帳戶中提出170萬美元(officials also took $ million)，調查該地區(qū)財務(begun investigating the district’s finances)。最后的四段分別交代了學生父母、企業(yè)和學生們的反應。父母們?yōu)閷W校購買日常教學器具(buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities)，企業(yè)捐助，如一家雪佛蘭經(jīng)銷商捐助一萬美元，同時免除校車租金(A Chevrolet dealership
