3.　根據(jù)語境可知，作者初到一個陌生的城市，人生地 不熟，顯然這對于作者來說是個“挑戰(zhàn)”。故選B 項。chance“機(jī)會，機(jī)遇”；challenge“挑戰(zhàn)”；success“成功”；error“錯誤”。

答案　B

4.根據(jù)but表示的轉(zhuǎn)折含義以及接下來講述的故事可知，開始出現(xiàn)問題，不再是小挑戰(zhàn)。go wrong“出現(xiàn)問題，遇到困難”，故A項符合語境。

答案　A

5.根據(jù)語境可知，由于作者沒有車，而且對這個城市也不熟悉，所以只能靠乘公交車來往于A地和B地之間。故C項正確。

答案　C

6.　句意：盡管“我”留足了時間，但很快“我”就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己要遲到了，因為“我”錯乘了一輛開往相反方向的公交車。根據(jù)語境可知，選A項，although“盡管”。

答案　A

7.　根據(jù)語境可知，作者很快發(fā)現(xiàn)自己乘反了方向，這樣顯然就不能按時到達(dá)。故選C項，it was obvious(to sb)(that)．..“顯然……”。

11.這個陌生人不是繼續(xù)走她的路，而是停下來問“我”是不是遇到問題了，這讓作者感到很驚訝。故B項正確。

答案　B

12.參見上題解析。OK“安然無恙”，符合語境。

答案　C

“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,”says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie’s opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing, “If you aren’t telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed.”she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,”she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. I’ve told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them. I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said‘Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a writer.’So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”

   This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自傳體的)and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免的)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I’ll never go back,”she said.“Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that’s important, because children now know so much so early that romance can’t exist for them, as it did for us.”

What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?

A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.

B. It should be attractive to young readers.

C. It should be based on original ideas.

D. It should not include too much conversation.

In Mollie Hunter’s opinion, which of the following is one sign of poor writer?

A. Being poor in life experience

B. Being short of writing skill.

C. The weakness of description

D. The absence of a story.

What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child？

A. She didn’t expect to become a writer.

B. She didn’t enjoy writing stories.

C. She didn’t have any particular ambition.

D. She didn’t respect her teacher’s view.

In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that children now are _____.

A. more intelligent

B. better informed

C. less eager to learn

D. less interested in reality

What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?

A. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s book.

B. To introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience.

C. To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.

D. To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books.
