He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing.”他寫的每一個故事都是根據(jù)其他故事改編的。他缺乏想象力，不幸的是，想象力是寫作的關(guān)鍵。由此推斷出這個男孩是通過抄襲別人的想法，來完成他早期的寫作的，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“Suddenly, he had a brainwave. This time, he came up with an original and imaginative story.”突然，他靈光一閃。這一次，他想出了一個新穎而富有想象力的故事。由此推斷出，男孩推遲寫作是因為他不知道該寫什么，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“Finally, he finished. The word count now read‘498’.”以及倒數(shù)第二段中的“‘Perfect,’ he thought,‘ just under the word limit.’He knew this was the story that would win.”可知他寫了498個字，剛好在字數(shù)限制內(nèi)，由此推斷出每篇文章的最大字數(shù)限制是500字，故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis39。s Swamp (沼澤地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack39。s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. So, Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. How did this place get its name? Are you sure you want to hear it? It39。s a scary story, warned Jack. Of course! cried out Tom. If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn39。t have chosen this place! Ok, but don39。t say I didn39。t warn you, said Jack, and he began this tale. Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. 39。You are clearing too much land,39。 warned one old man. 39。The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. 39。 39。Silly fool,39。 said Dennis to himself. 39。If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I39。ll bee wealthier. He39。s just jealous!39。 Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants. What happened? Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire. The land hit back—just as the old man warned, Jack shrugged. Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found. What a stupid story, laughed Tom. Plants can39。t … Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (暈倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom39。s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.（1）The underlined word dare in Paragraph 1 is closed in meaning to ________.
