Question

12．Dear Reader：
    I receive many letters from children and can't answer them all．Now，I'll try to answer the questions that are commonly asked．
    Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte's Web？Well，many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car and dreamed about a tiny boy who acted like a mouse．That's how the story of Stuart Little got started．As for Charlotte's Web，one day when I was on my way to feed the pig，I began feeling sorry for the pig because，like most pigs，he has to die．So I started thinking of ways to save a pig's life．I had been watching a big grey spider（蜘蛛） at her work and was impressed by how clever she was．Gradually I worked the spider into the story．Three years after I started writing it，it was published．
    Sometimes I'm asked how old I was when starting to write，and what made me write．I started early-as soon as I could spell．I don't know why I enjoyed writing，but I think children often find pleasure in trying to set their thoughts down on paper，either in words or in pictures，but I was not good at drawing．
    Are my stories true？No，they are made-up．In real life，a family doesn't have a child who looks like a mouse，and a spider doesn't spin （編織） words in her web．But real life is only one kind of life-there is also the life of the imagination．And I like to think there is some truth in my stories-truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act．
    Yours sincerely，
    E．B．White

Answer 1

分析 本文講述作者給讀者的一封信，信中闡述了作者的小說《精靈鼠小弟》以及《夏洛特的網(wǎng)》的來源，作者寫童話故事的原因以及告訴讀者想象出來的故事都是基于真實的生活．

解答 BCBA
50   B   推斷題．由第二段最后一句"Three years after I started writing it，it was published．"和信尾署名可推知 E．B．White 是一位作者，所以B項正確．A項"旅行者"，C項"農(nóng)民"，D項"畫家"，均不符合文意，故正確答案為B．
51    C   細(xì)節(jié)題．由第二段最后一句"Three years after I started writing it，it was published．"可知，作者寫作 Charlotte's Web 花了3年，故正確答案為C．
52    B   推斷題．由文章第二段可知，作者的許多靈感都來源于生活．再由最后一段最后一句"And I like to think there is some truth in my stories-truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act．"可知作者認(rèn)為故事中也有生活的真實．B項與原文意思一致，故正確答案為B．
53    A    細(xì)節(jié)題．由第一段最后一句"Now，I'll try to answer the questions that are commonly asked．"和第二段第一句"Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte's Web？"可知讀者問得最多的問題是關(guān)于作者何時開始寫 Stuart Little 和 Charlotte's Web 的，即作者何時開始寫故事，故正確答案為A．
