Tracy Wong is a well-known Chinese-American writer. But her writing     1     was something she picked up by herself. After her first    2    , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM.     3    , writing stories was simply a     4     interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher (出版商).     5    , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long     6     and paid Tracy a $ 15,000 advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for     7     writer.”

解析:
Tracy Wong是一位著名的美籍华人作家。他的写作技巧怎样,他的作品有什么特点,他为什么会这样?文章会告诉你。
1、词义比较前后照应  Tracy Wong是一位著名的美籍华人作家。其写作技能(skill)是自学的。后文大部分谈到了她的技能与技巧。skill技能,技巧;experience经验, 体验, 经历, 阅历;practice实践,实习;method方法。
2、前后照应词义比较 从后文作同位语的teaching disabled children和对立项a part-time writer for IBM,这里指的不是义务(duty),努力(effort),任务(task),而是工作、职业(job)。
3、词义比较逻辑推理 指Tracy Wong所处的时期(then)。instead代替,表示对立意义;normally正常地, 通常地;certainly的确,表示对情况或事情的肯定。
4、前后照应词义比较 当时,写作是个人的兴趣爱好。后句sent three of her stories to a publisher 有所暗示。A. general普通的,一般的;deep深奥的, 难懂的;personal私人的, 个人的;lively活泼的, 活跃的。
5、词义比较句法功能词汇用法 出版商对她的作品感兴趣(interested),随即向她提出建议。Interested=As they were interested;Encouraged的逻辑主语应是Tracy,而不是出版商;anxiously(忧虑地, 不安地)和seriously(认真地, 真诚地)通常不作句子性副词用,故不能出现在这个位置上。
6、前后照应词义比较 出版商加以她把三个故事合起来成为一篇长故事(story)。film,program和article没有存在的前提。
7、逻辑推理词义比较 对于Tracy这样一个尚不受大众欢迎的(popular),普通的(unusual),外国的(foreign),没有名气的(unknown)小作家,这是不小的一笔钱。
8、语句连贯前后照应 虽然她的故事人物令人感兴趣,但……。注意前后句之间的转折关系。now that既然,表示原因关系;;even though即使,即便,表示转折关系;just because就是因为,表示因果关系;except that 除了……之外, 只可惜,表示排除意义。
9、词义辨析 她的那些关于超自然故事有时让/使(leave)读者感到不自在,心神不安。find发现,找到;turn转动,变成;leave使某人处于某种状态,置某人于某种状态;hold把握,保持。
10、前后照应逻辑推理      作者的母亲认为作者能够沟通来世阴间。后句“She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”有所暗示。make up弥补, 虚构, 缝制, 整理;connect with连接, 联络;control控制;explain 解释, 说明。
11、逻辑推理语法规则      但是作者也确实有这样的感觉(feelings),机会(chances),事件(events),或时刻(moments)。因为紧接在后面的when引导的表示时间的定语从句,修饰前面的moments,故选D。
12、词义比较前后照应      有时某些事情无缘无故(for no reason)地,而非碰巧(by accident),从远处(from a distance),作为礼物式(as gifts)地发生在作者身上。由后文中的Once, she was wondering how to…有所暗示。
13、逻辑推理,前后照应,词义比较      作者一直在纳闷如何完成一个以古代中国为背景的布景\场景(scene)的故事,而非描写(description),指示(pointing)或谈话(talk)。
14、词义比较逻辑推理      突然(suddenly),门铃响了。surprisingly令人惊讶地;suddenly突然地,表示突发性行为;expectedly不出预料地;fortunately 幸运地。
15、逻辑推理气候照应      邮递员手里拿着有关中国历史(history),而非烹调(cooking),医学(medicine),戏剧(play)方面的书。前面ancient China有所提示。
16、逻辑推理常识运用词义比较      书来得很是蹊跷,作者先前知道(know)、意识到会(realize)有这样的书,但没有送(send)出去过,更没有预定过(order)。按常识道理,没有预定,邮递员不会送东西到家来,更何况是自己想弄的东西。
17、逻辑推理,词义比较,前后照应      虽然作者已经出版了45本书,可仍然没有由于名誉而有丝毫改变(unchanged)。由后文although in a more fortable home 说明unmoved不妥。Excited和determined与文意不符。    
18、逻辑推理常识运用      作者也许在原先的城市(city),原先的房子(house)居住,但不能是原先的生活(life),而是以与27年前同样的生活方式(way)生活着。
19、前后照应逻辑推理      注意与后句的比较。作者不仅仅只是单一的写作了,作者的生活中有了更多的机会或空间来享受生活的多样化(variety)。网上下载,此题原答案为C(joy欢乐),笔者认为有所不妥,joy缺少比较前提,前文并没有作任何铺垫。joy与success和work一样与后句的it wasn’t just writing不形成对立关系。
20、前后照应      不仅仅只是写作(writing)。注意与文章前面her writing skill,a part-time writer for IBM,writing stories was simply a personal interest的相一致。reporting,luck和fun与文意不符。
