I would keep putting my dream to the testeven though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the shadowland of hope，and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1The passage is meant to _.Awarn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceBadvise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerCshow young people its unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameDencourage young people to pursue a writing career2 “.people who die wondering，what if？”(Para.3) refers to “those _” Awho think too much of the dark side of lifeBwho regret giving up their career halfwayCwho think a lot without making a decision2Dwho are full of imagination even upon death3The underlined word “shadowland” in the last sentence refers to “_” Athe wonderland one often dreams aboutBthe bright future that one is looking forward toCthe state of uncertainty before ones final goal is reachedDa world that exists only in ones imagination【解题导语】本文作者首先介绍了写作的艰难，旨在告诉读者如果想成为作家，要耐得住寂寞，坚持理想才能成功。长难句分析：When I left a 20year career in the US.Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all：what I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building.(第二段第三句)译文：当我离开美国海岸警卫队 20 年的职业生涯，成为一名自由撰稿人时，我一点前途都没有：我所拥有的就是一个朋友，他在纽约一栋公寓大楼里给我找了一个房间。词汇积累：reality n现实 reward v回报career n事业，职业 barely adv.仅仅，几乎不1A 写作意图题。The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poorpaying affair.(第二段第一句)译文：事实上，写作是一种孤独的、私人的、报酬不高的事情。解题思路：根据全文内容和关键句可知，文章旨在警戒年轻人一个成功的作家要经历的各种困难。故选 A。2B 推理判断题。I would keep putting my dream to the test.(第三段倒数第二句)译文：我会继续尝试我的梦想解题思路：根据关键句可知，作者不想中途放弃，此处的“those”是指那些后悔中途放弃的人。故选 B。3C 词义猜测题。 .even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.(第三段倒数第二句)译文：即使这意味着生活在不确定性和失败的恐惧中。解题思路：根据关键句可知，此处的“shadowland”指的是在最终达到目的之前的不确定的状态。故选 C。*语法填空。No one loves me more than my parents, especially my father.
