答案:

SectionⅠUseofEnglish

1、B[解析]

本题根据文中writingisa______job—ajobislikeanyother，另外破折号为解释说明作用可知，job的修饰性形容词应符合likeanyother（像其他的任何工作一样），四个选项中只有B项normal（正常的）符合likeanyother特性。

选项A的difficult意为“困难的”；选项C的steady意为“稳定的”；选项D的pleasant意为“愉悦的”，均与原文语义不符，故均被排除。2、B[解析]

本题空格位于3句的句首，紧承前一句。空格后的代词it指的是上文writing（写作），下文突然提到plumbing（修水管），plumber（水管工），pipes（水管）

看似毫无相关性，却正是利用两者之间的共性在做比较，故选择B项compared。

选项A的combinde意为“结合”，选项C的confused意为“使困惑”，选项D的confronted意为“面对”，带入原句后均不符合语意，故均被排除。3、A[解析]

本空所填写的逻辑关联词用来连接“you'reholdingdownajobtopaythebills”与后文“it'snot______tofindthetimetowrite.”之间的逻辑关系，根据语义可以判断，前一句是后一句构成的条件，因此选择if。

选项B的though意为“尽管”，用来连接让步逻辑关系，而本文中的两个句子并不存在相反的逻辑，因此排除B选项。选项C的once作副词意为“曾经，一旦”，原文中并没有提到与“过去”或者“假设”的相关语义，因此排除该选项。选项D的unless意为“除非”，该词不符合本句的语义关系，故排除。4、D[解析]

本题空格需要填写形容词，用来形容to后面的内容，即“找到时间写作并不是一个______的事”，根据上下文的语义关系，可以判断本空格需要阐明这并不是一件容易的事，因此选择easy。

选项A的enough意为“足够的”，B项的strange意为“奇怪的”，C项的wrong意为“错误的”将选项代人原文意为“找到时间写作并不是一个足够／奇怪／错误的事”。可以看出这几个选项均不符合语义，因此排除。5、C[解析]

本题空格位于第二段的第三句，需要填写一个动词与后文的宾语从句thatmostbestsellingauthorsbeganwritingoftenhavetodootherwork形成动宾搭配，结合前文”如果你要保住一份用于支付一些账单的工作，那么找时间写作就没那么容易了”，此处想要表明就算是畅销书的作家在写作时也需要做其他的工作来缓解收入上的问题。结合四个选项的含义，只有选项C的Remember“记住，回忆”最为合适，代入原文，意为“要记住畅销书作家也需要做其他的工作来

一他们写作的收入。”

选项A的Accept意为“接受”，选项B的Explain意为“解释”，选项D的Suppose意为“假设”，将三个选项代入原文意为“接受／解释／假设畅销书作家也需要做其他的工作来______他们写作的收入。”语意不通，故排除。6、A[解析]

空格所填词位于本句话中的定语从句的部分内容，定语从句“whoarefairly______”用于修饰名词mostbestsellingauthors，意为“那些非常____的畅销书作家”，结合mostbestselling可见，这些作家较为著名，因此选择选项A的well-known“著名的”。

选项B的well-advised意为“明智的”，选项C的well-informed意为“消息灵通的，见多识广的”，D项的well-chosen意为“精心挑选的”，将三个选项代入原文，意为“就算是那些明智的／消息灵通的／精心挑选的作家在写书的时候也要做另一份工作”，这些词与畅销书作家搭配不当，且不符合上下文语意，故排除。7、C[解析]

本题需要填写动词，“做其它工作去______写作的收入”，根据前文可知：在写作的同时要做维持生计的工作，所以这里做其它工作是为了补充收入，C选项意为补充，故为正确答案。

A选项donate意为捐赠，B选项generate意为产生，D选项calculate意为计算，带入文中后语意不符，故排除。8、C[解析]

本题需要填写名词，“这是一个优先事项的______”，是本段的第一句话，根据后文可知本段整体在论述是否将写作看做优先事项的问题，所以这是个有关优先事项的事。C选项填入后语意为有关优先事项的问题，符合语意。

A选项reason意为原因，B选项purpose意为目的，D选项condition意为条件，本段并没有提到原因、目的和条件等相关内容，带入后语意不符，故排除。9、B[解析]

空格所填词为动词词，原文提到我们要专注于写作，所以对于其他活动就无法投入精力，需要牺牲掉。B项的sacrifice意为牺牲，符合语义，为正确选项。

选项A的highlight，表示“强调”，选项C的continue表示继续，选项D的explain表示解释，均与文章逻辑不符，故排除。10、B[解析]

空格所填词为名词，所在句意为“取决于______和生活方式，后文列举了看电视、听音乐等都属于兴趣。故正确选项为B的interests。

选项A的relations，意为“关系”。选项C的memories意为“记忆”，选项D的skills意为“技能，技巧”，不符合原文含义，因此排除。11、C[解析]

该题为逻辑关系，前文讲到不能在写作的时候花更少的时间看电视听歌，但是有人在看电视听歌的同时也能做该事情，故选while，表示同时的意思。

A项until直到，B项because因为，D项before在之前，均与文章逻辑不符，故排除。12、D[解析]

该题为短语搭配，前文主要在讲养成写作习惯需要抛弃掉自己的兴趣爱好，结合主旨，选cutdownon意为减少符合题意。

选项A的putupwith意为“忍受”，选项B的makeupfor意为“弥补”，选项C的hangonto意为“紧握”。13、B[解析]

文中解题关键为ratherthan，前后语义为对立逻辑，than后为adaily，time-consuming，说明上题所填的形容词为daily的反义概念，因此选择occasional偶尔的。

A项的intelligent聪明的和D项的emotional情绪的都为修饰人的形容词，C项的intensive密集的语义同文中daily含义不相关，故删去。14、A[解析]

依旧根据ratherthan对立逻辑词进行含义的筛选，rather前socialmediaanoccasionalactivity，说明than后time-consuming修饰的名词也应为同一类名词含义，遵循内容相同，态度相反原则，即同activity的含义相似，因此选择habit习惯。

B项的test测试，C项的decision决定和D项的plan计划，都不能用time-consuming来修饰，同时含义与activity相差太大，故删去。15、A[解析]

空格处所填词为形容词，用来形容后文的learningcurve，根据后文语义“这可能会让你变得不受欢迎”可以得知，本空格需要说明这并不是一个容易的过程，选项tough意味“棘手的，艰苦的”，符合本文语义，因此选择A选项。

选项B的gentle意为“温文尔雅的，温和的”，语义偏褒义，不符合本句所体现的文意；选项C的rapid意为“快速的”，而本句中并没有强调过程的快慢，故排除；选项D意为“有趣的”，本文需要体现的语义应强调该过程的艰难，因此排除该选项。16、D[解析]

本空格处考察了短语的含义以及上下文的逻辑关系，根据上文语义“还有一件事情是可以坚持的”以及后文“______写作，那就是阅读”，可以看出，是除了写作，作家还可以坚持的就是阅读，只有D选项inadditionto表示“除此之外”，符合语义，因此选择D。

选项A的inplaceof意为“代替”，从文章可以看出，不是要用阅读代替写作，而是两件事情都做，故该选项排除。选项B的inchargeof意为“负责，管理”，作者是无法“管理”写作的，因此排除B；选项C的inresponseto意为“响应，呼应”，代入原文则意为“响应你的写作，你要阅读”，显然不符合常理，因此排除C。17、A[解析]

本题空格谓语名词之前，所填选项为形容词，与supporter搭配。后文同位语解释说明“somethingy
