专题限时集训(十)　词义猜测之代词指代AKazuo Ishiguro，who won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature，has a number of strings to his bow，or rather his guitar.The 64-year-old is world-famous as a writer of fiction，but his early dream was to be a great singer and songwriter，like 2016's winner，Bob Dylan.As his name indicates，Ishiguro comes from a Japanese background，although he came to Britain from Japan at the age of 5 and is a British citizen who writes in English.He was educated at the University of East Anglia，a school that has become known for training writers.Ishiguro's writing is highly self-contained.This certainly gives his writing a quality in common with that of Jane Austen，an author to whom he is often compared.The best example of this is his novel The Remains of the Day，which later became a successful film.The central character of the book is a butler(男管家)called Stevens.He is a loyal servant to an English lord，and a character who some people might call repressed.He misses out on affection and love because he will not admit his feelings to anyone.We have to read between the lines to uncover the “real” story，which isn't quite the one the butler is telling.Stevens finds it a challenge to communicate，and communication is often a theme in Ishiguro's novels.In this author's works，there is a gap between our feelings and our ability to communicate them.The Nobel Committee stressed it when talking about Ishiguro's works: The writer has uncovered the abyss(深渊)beneath our unreal sense of connection with the world.【语篇解读】　本文描述了2017年诺贝尔文学奖得主石黑一雄的写作风格：大多沉静克制，但在平静的表面下却隐藏着巨大的情感力量。1．What did Ishiguro want to be in the beginning?A．A famous writer.B．A guitar player.C．A second Bob Dylan.D．A singer and songwriter.D　[考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“but his early dream was to be a great singer and songwriter，like 2016's winner，Bob Dylan”可知，他早年的梦想是成为一位伟大的歌手和词曲作家，就像2016年的诺贝尔文学奖得主鲍勃·迪伦那样。]2．Why is the story not quite the one Stevens tells in The Remains of the Day?A．Because he is not allowed to tell the truth.B．Because he misses out on what he desires.C．Because he doesn't express himself truly.D．Because he has low social status as a servant.C　[考查推理判断。由第三段内容可知，石黑一雄的写作风格很克制，而他的小说The Remains of the Day是最佳范例；再根据第四段中的小说人物介绍“...a character who some people might call repressed.He misses out on affection and love because he will not admit his feelings to anyone”可推知，The Remains of the Day的故事其实不像主人公Stevens 讲述的那样，这是因为Stevens很克制，不会表达自己真实的情感。故选C项。]3．What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A．The author's sense of the world.B．The theme of Ishiguro's works.C．The reason for choosing the winner.D．Our ability to communicate feelings.B　[考查代词指代。根据第四段最后一句中的“communication is often a theme in Ishiguro's novels”可知，石黑一雄的小说常常以交流为主题；再根据最后一段开头对此的进一步解释和诺贝尔奖委员会对他作品的评价“The writer has uncovered the abyss(深渊)beneath our unreal sense of connection with the world”可推知，在谈及石黑一雄的作品时，该委员会着重强调了他作品的主题。]4．What is the best title for the passage?A．The Remains of the DayB．Quiet Writing Style of a Great AuthorC．Kazuo Ishiguro，Winner of Nobel Prize in LiteratureD．How Kazuo Ishiguro's Writing Made Him The Nobel Prize WinnerB　[考查标题判断。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了2017年诺贝尔文学奖得主石黑一雄的写作风格，并以他的小说The Remains of the Day为例进行说明。故选B。]BI am a new knitter (编织者)，but an experienced novelist.It's only lately that I've begun to realize what my two favorite activities have in common.While majoring in biology at college，I had been working hard at my classes，so I was looking for something easy to do.From the moment I began writing，it absorbed my attention，seven hours could pass like seven minutes.I had found my passion!Knitting had the same effect on me.I've never been a crafty (心灵手巧的)person.But for whatever reason，knitting became my passion for those times when I needed an excuse to sit.When I decided to go to graduate school to learn creative writing，I met many other writers who were convinced they would one day be successful.The thing is，the writers who managed to publish books weren't necessarily the ones who were so confident，or even talented.Instead，they were the writers most committed to working and revising their writing.They brought many stories and reworked them over and over again.Similarly，with every sweater I've made，I've had to go back and pull it out many times.“You're not really going to do it over again，are you？” my husband will ask.“Nobody will even see that！” Maybe not.But I'll know the mistake is there，so I pull out the sweater and start over，the same way I revise my imperfect sentences.During two decades of writing fiction，I still hadn't sold a novel，only a memoir (回忆录)．Disappointed，I self-published one of my novels，Sleeping Tigers.Two weeks later，my agent sold my newest novel, The Wishing Hill.I have a knitting group，and my writing life has been made possible by being friends with other fiction writers，who cheer each other on through rejections，revisions，and publication，too.Whether you're writing or knitting，follow your passion with purpose and give yourself the time each project takes to start，complete，and revise — even if you have to pull the whole thing apart and start over.【语篇解读】　本文是夹叙夹议文。作者在写作和编织的过程中发现了两个爱好的共同点。5．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the author       .A．is good at knittingB．teaches biology in collegeC．spends seven hours every

effect does knitting have on the author?A．She can rest when knitting.B．She can kill time by knitting.C．She gets absorbed in knitting.D．She gets smarter through knitting.C　[考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“From the moment I began writing，it absorbed my attention”和第二段中的 “Knitting had the same effect on me”可知，作者爱上了编织。]7．How should writers do to publish their works according to the author?A．By making friends with writers.B．By preparing various stories.C．By attending writing classes.D．By polishing their works.D　[考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“...they were the writers most committed to working and revising their writing”可知，作者认为能够成功出版书籍的作者通常会不断修改自己的作品。]8．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The sweater. 　B．The mistake.C．The similarity. 　D．The perfection.B　[考查代词指代。根据第四段中的“I've had to

for that $100.00 dinner? That's the magic of Groupon，but for some small business owners the “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death.How could that occur?The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance，but upon further inspection the numbers don't add up when it comes to smaller businesses.A Groupon deal typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service，and then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business.While Groupon has already received the profit in advance，the merchant is left waiting for their cut.Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50，which，in some cases，is being generous.When you break it down to numbers，a Groupon deal seems disastrous，but it's not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about.The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully longterm customers.Yet，does this actually happen? The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don't return after using their Groupon.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated，“I love the deals offered by Groupon! They can really save you so much money.” However，she went on to say that she hadn't returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.For some small businesses，the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers，who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years.When you break it down，Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price，but also that their product or service isn't worth the price they're charging for.When combining these factors，it's no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.Now I by no means say Groupon has bad effects on all businesses；however，the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了Groupon团购对小企业的影响。9．What is good about Groupon?A．It can offer a large discount.B．It helps add up the numbers.C．It can improve the quality of the product.D．It brings small business owners more profit.A　[考查细节理解。根据第二段的“A Groupon deal typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service”可知，Groupon团购的好处就是能够提供很大的折扣。]10．CFHS Junior Angelita Pope's statement suggests that         .A．small business owners needn't worry about dealsB．people like using Groupon in the same businessC．the purpose of Groupon is to promote the businessD．Groupon may not bring customers backD　[考查推理判断。根据第三段的“The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don't return after using their Groupon”可知，Groupon团购可能不会带来回头客。]11．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．New faces.B．Loyal customers.C．Groupon dealers.D．Small businesses.B　[考查代词指代。 根据第四段的“For some small businesses，the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers”可知，此处画线词指那些忠诚的顾客。]12．What could be the best title for the text?A．A New Business Trend—Groupon DealingB．The Development of a Groupon CompanyC．The Effects of Groupon on Small BusinessesD．A Fantastic Shopping Experience—GrouponC　[考查标题判断。根据第一段的“...but for some small business owners the‘great business’offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death”及最后一段的“...however，the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business”可知，这篇文章主要讲述的是Groupon团购对小企业的影响。]
