Question

【題目】 When I was a kid, I loved reading history, science fiction, detective stories, but especially comics. I had piles of them and kept talking my Dad into making more shelves for me. One day, I read about a 13-year-old boy who had actually written one of my favorite comics, Legion of Super-Heroes, and I said, “I can do that too.” That year, I was two years younger than the writer.

Three years later, a friend and I started our own fan magazine about comics. It became the first place that regularly told people when their favorite comics were coming out and writers and artists were working on them. Because of the magazine, I won the awards for The Comic Reader, but more important, it got many of the people in the field to know who I was.

One day when I was visiting DC Comics for news for my next issue, one of the editors a chance to write text for his comic. Suddenly, at 16, I was getting paid to write.

I was able to pay for my college classes working as an assistant editor at DC Comics and learned how to write comics stories while I was there. I wrote hundreds of stories. Over the years, I worked as an editor and an executive (主管) for the company, eventually serving as a president and publisher, until earlier this year. Now I’m back to my first love, writing comics again.

Every morning, I open my e-mail and find pages of art sent in by artists across the country who draw my stories. When I’m tired of working on the stories, I can go online and find my readers commenting on my stories or telling me when I make mistakes.

Keep reading and writing, it’s a wonderful way to live.

這是一篇記敘文。記敘了作者從小喜歡漫畫，在14歲時獲得了漫畫讀者獎，在16歲的時候，開始拿稿費寫作，作者多年來一直擔任該公司的編輯和高管，最終擔任總裁和出版人等等經(jīng)歷。作者體會到堅持閱讀和寫作，這是一種美妙的生活方式。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中That year, I was two years younger than the writer.可知那一年，我比作者小兩歲。可知作者比13歲的小男孩小兩歲，因此作者當時11歲，又根據(jù)第二段中Because of the magazine, I won the awards for The Comic Reader, but more important, it got many of the people in the field to know who I was.可知因為這本雜志，我獲得了漫畫讀者獎，但更重要的是，它讓很多業(yè)內(nèi)人士知道了我是誰。三年后作者獲得了漫畫讀者獎，由此可知，作者在11+3=14歲時獲得了漫畫讀者獎。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中Now I’m back to my first love, writing comics again.可知現(xiàn)在我又回到了我的初戀，再次創(chuàng)作漫畫。由此可知，作者目前的工作是漫畫作家。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章主要內(nèi)容為記敘作者從小喜歡漫畫，在14歲時獲得了漫畫讀者獎，在16歲的時候，開始拿稿費寫作，作者多年來一直擔任該公司的編輯和高管，最終擔任總裁和出版人等等經(jīng)歷。作者體會到堅持閱讀和寫作，這是一種美妙的生活方式。由此可推知，這篇文章主要是按照時間順序展開的。故選C。
