12．You must have written your research paper，your personal essay，your book review-----whatever your school class requires．You think you have provided good information in the needed number of words．（36）C
But is it really done？Many teachers and professional writers believe that writing is revision．（37）G
Revision of writing is a necessary skill for students．The classroom is a good place to practice patience，concentration and listening．There are rewards with spending time with your thoughts and really taking time to compose your ideas in an orderly and reasonable way．You should put away your paper after you have written a first version，or draft．Wait several hours，maybe overnight，before working on it more．（38）D Not only are you refreshed，but you're looking at things through different eyes．That's what revision literally means-to see again through different eyes．
Following a four-step process may help you with your paper．The first step in the process is invention．It includes forming many questions about your subject．It is called"question-storming"．（39）BThen comes the revision period．Take your time to read what you've written，to think about it，and maybe to re-shape it based on what you see now，as a kind of new person looking at it with a reader's eyeglasses rather than a writer's．The fourth step is called"publication"．（40）EIn a sense，anytime you turn it over to another person，that's publication．
Probably，the process takes away some of the tension of writing．And worry about the quality of your writing often disappears when you share that writing．
A．Perfect writing is not possible．
B．In the second step，you draft and compose a paper．
C．And you feel good because your work is finished．
D．This is just like returning to a job after a vacation．
E．This does not mean your writing is professional publication．
F．What is most important is getting your thoughts and ideas on paper．
G．In other words，writing well means making needed changes and rewriting．
分析 文章講述了不管是在寫什么內(nèi)容，研究報告、論文、書評等，修改和重新寫是必要的步驟和過程．
解答 36-40：CGDBE
36．C 細節(jié)題．根據(jù)"You think you have provided good information in the needed number of words．"大意你認為所需數(shù)量的詞提供了很好的信息，和"But is it really done？"但是真的做到了么？可知因為工作完成，感覺很好．故選C．
37．G 細節(jié)題．根據(jù)"Many teachers and professional writers believe that writing is revision．"可知許多教師和專業(yè)作家都認為寫作是修訂，也就是說需要修改和更正．故選G．
38．D 細節(jié)題． 根據(jù)后一句"Not only are you refreshed，but you're looking at things through different eyes．"可知不僅讓您精神振作，而且會用不同的眼光看待事物．故選D．
39．B 細節(jié)題．根據(jù)"Following a four-step process may help you with your paper．The first step…"可知排除其他選項，第一步講完，緊接著就講第二步．故選B．
40．E 細節(jié)題．根據(jù)上一句講的第四步所謂的出版，關鍵詞"publication"判斷故選E．
點評 本文是一篇選句填空閱讀，題目主要考查上下文內(nèi)容聯(lián)系以及文章內(nèi)容理解．做題時學生應仔細閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測．
