Suppose someone gave you a pen---a sealed(密封的),solid?coloured pen. You couldn’t see how much 21 it had. It might run dry 22 the first few tentative (试探的) words or last just long and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don’t know when the ink will 24 .
Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to 25 a chance! Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. 26 picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, 27 .But if you do decide to use it, what would you 28 it? How would you 29 the game?
Would you plan and plan before you ever 30 a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never didn’t even start 31 ? Or would you take the pen 32 ,plunge right in and Just do it, struggling to keep up 33 the twists and turns of the torrent (急流)of words that take you where they take you?
Would you write cautiously and 34 ,as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend to believe that the pen would write forever and go on accordingly?
And what would you write about:Love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life? Death? Nothing? 35 ?
Would you write to 36 just yourself? Or others? Or yourself by writing about others?
Would you even write? Once you have the pen ,no 37 says you have to write. Would you sketch? Scribble(潦草地写)？Doodle(涂鸦)or draw? Would you stay in or on the 38 ,or see no lines at all, even if they 39 there? There’s a lot to think about here, isn’t there?
Now, 40 someone gave you a life…

(答案→)A
解析：
【小题1】根据上文“Suppose someone gave you a pen—a sealed，solid-coloured pen．”及下文可知你不知道笔里有多少墨水。
【小题1】根据句意“或许在你试探性地写上几个字后它就会枯干”，可知答案为B。
【小题1】enough修饰副词需要后置，该句意思是“或者足够用来创作一部分影响深远的不朽巨著(或是几部)”。
【小题1】cross out划掉；leave off停止；run out用完；use up用完。此句应用不及物动词词组，故用run out。
【小题1】take a chance碰运气。
【小题1】instead of意为“代替，取代”。该句的意思是“相反，你甚至可以根本不用这支笔”。
【小题1】这里unused是形容词用作状语。
【小题1】what与do with 搭配，what 作do with 的宾语。
【小题1】game需要与play搭配。
【小题1】你会不会在写一个字前，总是计划来计划去的?故答案为B。
【小题1】该句意思是“你会不会由于计划过于宏大而来不及动笔呢?”故答案为B。
【小题1】in hand意为“在手里的”，该句意为“或者你只是手拿着笔”。
【小题1】keep up with意为“跟上”。
【小题1】根据上文“…cautiously and”可知选项A正确。
【小题1】根据上文，前后两个词应该是反义词，nothing与everything相对，故答案为B。
【小题1】根据句意“你写作是为了悦己?还是为了悦人?”可知答案为C。
【小题1】once意为“一旦”。该句意为“你拿到笔以后，没有哪条规则说你必须写作”。
【小题1】根据下文or see no lines at all 可知答案为B，该句意为“你会保持写在线内还是线上，还是根本看不到线”。
【小题1】该处为虚拟语气，该句意为“即使有线在那里”。
【小题1】根据文章开头可知答案为suppose，该句意为“现在，假如有人给了你生命……”。
