B
A setting f a stry acts as a phtgraphic backdrp t yur plt and interacts with the characters.
Time is the starting pint f yur setting. Yu develp yur stry and cmbine characters with respect t yur chsen time perid. Likewise, yur stry culd evlve frm a specific time f the day.
A lcale, in ther wrds is the clthing f yur stry. This culd be just abut any place yu have heard f r yu created. What fllws yur lcale next is the architecture f the place—fr example, if yur character is brn in a Victrian style huse then yu will need t add in details like clred brickwrk r fireplace t g with yur character.
Atmsphere has gt t d with the climatic influences in yur stry. This culd mean the heavy rains, mild wind r big earthquakes. Wrapping yur stry with weather details is a safe way f lightening the md f yur stry.
Gegraphy f a place, again, helps t set md f yur stry. It culd be a strange frest r lifeless river.
Yur cultural setting greatly helps with yur character. The scial practices, histry r music, are sme f the cultural factrs t develp the stry.
Senses are extremely vital. Imagine being wakened by the sweet f freshly­cut grass n a summer mrning; r sitting by the side f a fireplace while the lgs (圆木) crepitate (碎裂); r enjying a creamy chclate; r watching the painting n cave walls; r mving ne's fingers tenderly thrugh smene's thick hair.
While yu can add many layers t yur stry thrugh the setting elements abve, there are chances that as an authr, yu wuld fail t see the frest fr its trees. In rder wrds, yu wuld be s caught up with the minutiae (微小的细节) details f the settings that yu will mst likely lse the sight f the plt as a whle. Therefre, yu must knw what clrs are apprpriate fr yur imagery, as verlading yur painting with t many clrs will make yu lse yur sense f the subject and f yur readers as well.
4. The example f a Victrian style huse in the third paragraph is mentined t shw us ______.
A. the lcale f a stry shuld match its architecture
B. the lcale f a stry shuld be put in a specific time
C. the lcale and time are the first tw elements f a stry
D. the lcale and clthing help develp the plt f a stry
5. What cntribute a lt t the md f a stry accrding t the passage?
A. Time and lcales. B. Atmsphere and gegraphy.
C. Culture and senses. D. Culture and gegraphy.
6. Which f the fllwing is an example f the sense f smell?
A. The wd in a fireplace beside yu breaks up.
B. What the freshly­cut grass gives up gets yu up.
C. Yu cmb smene's hair gently with yur fingers.
D. Yu view an exhibitin r have delicius ice­cream.
7. What wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. What is essential fr a stry？ B. Hw t develp a stry?
C. What is the setting f a stry？ D. Hw t appreciate a stry?
【答案及解析】本文是一篇说明文。创作一个好的故事，需要很多的技巧。本文主要解决了创作背景方面的问题。
4. A 推理判断题。例子是用来证明观点的。该例子的观点是What fllws yur lcale next is the architecture f the place和g with yur character，可见这个例子就是用来说明故事的地点要有与其相配的建筑。
5. B 细节理解题。根据第四段的a safe way f lightening the md f yur stry和第五段的helps t set md f yur stry可知答案。
6. B 推理判断题。倒数第二段谈到感官。其中的Imagine being wakened by the sweet f freshly­cut grass n a summer mrning就是被刚刚割掉的草的芳香所弄醒。可见是嗅觉。
7. C 标题归纳题。首段第一句就提到故事的背景，接着从时间、地点等六个方面进行详细说明。

【答案及解析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了世界上最小的书店。
1. whse 考查定语从句。“________ fficial name is just these three wrds”是一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作定语，所以填whse。
2. quietly 考查副词。修饰动词sits用副词，所以填quietly。
3. t imagine 考查非谓语动词。考查句型：It＋be＋adj.＋t d…，此处it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式，所以填t imagine。
4. a 考查冠词。这家书店一天24小时营业。泛指“每天”，所以填不定冠词a。

8. themselves 考查反身代词。by neself独自地，是固定用法。
9. tls 考查名词单复数。谓语动词是are，所以用名词复数，故填tls。
10. than 考查介词。根据形容词比较级bigger可知用than，所以填than。
