Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved reading crime and detective (侦探) novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional career  (职业)  and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn’t. They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career, and not something as risky as writing. I suppose I could have studied joumalism (新闻) ,but I didn’t want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work, not for pleasure. I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise (妥协 ) , especially because of the long holidays. It was a good choice: by the time I was twenty-five，I’d already finished two novels and had an be honest, I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything, and my friends have always known. One of the reasons most people don’t know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance  (浪漫)  novelist for older women. She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought, “Well, if you think it’ll make me successful, okay,” I’d totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I’d written it - she even offered to lend it to me after she’d finished!  Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies, but I think my parents probably did me a favor: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world.

【解析】

本片文章难度适中，主要讲述我小的时候励志成为一名作家，但是父母让我从事传统的行业。后来我成为了一名教师，在空闲时间写小说。后来在经纪人的建议下，我改了名字，人们都不知道这个小说是我写的。但是后来作者感谢父母对他的帮助，教师的工作能让他接触现实世界。

41.细节理解题。根据I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise (妥协 ) , especially because of the long holidays以及One of the reasons most people don’t know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance  (浪漫)  novelist for older women可知，我即是一名教师又是一个作家，故选D。

42.义猜测题。根据Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved reading crime and detective (侦探) novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional career  (职业)  and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn’t可知，我小的时候喜欢看犯罪和侦探小说，我长大后想当作家，但是我的家人想让我从事传统的职业，所以当我告诉他们我的志向时，他们不同意我这么做。所以is very big on译为“非常喜欢某事”，故选B。

43.细节理解题。根据I suppose I could have studied joumalism (新闻) ,but I didn’t want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work, not for pleasure可知，她认为学习新闻学后，她每天都要工作，没有乐趣，所以她不想学新闻，排除A；根据Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies可知，她写的是谋杀和尸体，所以可推断出她不想写与教学有关的内容，排除C；根据I’d totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I’d written it - she even offered to lend it to me after she’d finished可知，我的同事提出来，当她读完这本小说后，要将这本书借给我看，所以推断出她没有告诉她的同事他写小说，排除D；根据She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought, “Well, if you think it’ll make me successful, okay,”可知，她接受了布鲁克莱恩这个笔名，故选B。

44.细节理解题。根据but I think my parents probably did me a favor: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world可知，她认为她的父母帮了他一个忙，所以她的父母对她的职业生涯有帮助，故选A。
