詳析

1. B由文章的最后一句可知，愛麗絲•門羅以寫短篇小說而出名。

2. C 由 began to write 和 At the age of 19 可知，愛麗絲•門羅在青少年時(shí)就開始寫作了。

3. A由first story可以推測(cè)出，在愛麗絲門羅十九歲時(shí)，她的處女作問世了。

B項(xiàng)表示“走上前來”；C項(xiàng)表示“上 升”；D項(xiàng)表示“熬夜”。

4. C由下文中的bookstore可知，愛麗絲•門羅在遇見第一任丈夫之后開了一家書店。

8. C由下一句中的can't write可知，作者還得待在家中寫作。

9. C由于有時(shí)寫不出東西來，所以，她只能讓想法停留在大腦中。

10. A由“當(dāng)她的第一個(gè)短篇小說集出版時(shí)”和“一個(gè)家庭主婦抽時(shí)間寫了這些短篇小說”可以推測(cè)出，此處應(yīng)當(dāng) 表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，故填入“甚至”最恰當(dāng)。
