Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer's life.She was born in Atlanta in 1900.She started writing stories when she was a child.She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922.One photograph of Ms.Mitchell,called Peggy,shows her talking to a group of young college boys.She was only about one and a half meters tall.The young men tower over her,but she seems very happy and sure of herself.The tour guide explains:"Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech,asking them such questions as"Would you really marry a woman who works?"And today it'd be"Would you marry one who doesn't?"
The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments.Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms.Mitchell lived with her husband,John Marsh.They made fun of the small apartment by calling it"The Dump".
Around 1926,Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury.Her husband brought her books to read from the library.She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book.Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success.Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book.In 1939the film version was released.It won ten Academy Awards,including Best Picture.

分析 文章描述了通過游覽作家Margaret Mitchell的故居來了解她開始寫作的故事以及她的生活,還介紹了她的作品和取得的成就.
解答 12.答案 C 細節(jié)題.文章最后一段提到 Margaret Mitchell 在他們的小公寓養(yǎng)病期間讀了很多書,后來她的丈夫給她買了打字機讓她自己寫一本,這本書就是后來的《飄》,C項正確.A項文章并未提及,故錯誤,文章最后一段說,是電影《飄》獲得了十項奧斯卡金象獎,而非 Margaret 寫的書,B項錯誤.文章最后一段倒數(shù)第二句說明 Margaret Mitchell 先寫了書,然后改編成了電影,D項把順序顛倒了,錯誤.故正確答案為C.
13.答案 B 推斷題.由第二段第五句"She was only about one and a half meters tall."可知,她只有一米五高.上文又提到她是跟一些大學(xué)的男孩談話,所以可以猜到這些男孩比她高很多.故正確答案為B.
14.答案B 推斷題.A項,文章只提到她身高不高,并未提及她婚姻不幸,錯誤;B項,文章第二段第三句說到她還是個孩子的時候就開始寫文章了,第四段又說明她后來因為在家養(yǎng)傷又開始寫作,B項正確;C項,根據(jù)文章第四段可知,她是先不做記者才開始讀書寫文章的,C項錯誤;D項,文章只提到她受過傷,但并未強調(diào)她的人生充滿苦難和悲傷,D項錯誤.故正確答案為B.
15.答案 D 主旨題.本文主要是介紹 Margaret Mitchell,第一段介紹她最著名的書,"learn about her life"點題.第二段從她的一幅照片入手,介紹她小時候和年輕時候的事.第三段介紹她和丈夫的公寓.最后一段介紹她如何寫出了《飄》,以及獲得的成就.綜上所述,文章介紹了 Margaret Mitchell,D項正確.AC項只是文章介紹的某一方面,C項側(cè)重于介紹 Margaret Mitchell 當(dāng)作家的方面,均不能概況全文內(nèi)容.故正確答案為D.
點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
