问题     The first attempt of most artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece. If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), revising will seem a natural part of the writing【C1】______.
    What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals that many Broadway shows【C2】______? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering—【C3】______revising. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Phantom of the Opera【C4】______such a process.
    When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in【C5】______a funny, exciting production. However,
when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a(n) 【C6】______psychological love story set to music. The musical had undergone several revisions due, in part, 【C7】______problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆).
    When you revise, you change aspects of your work in【C8】______to your evolving purpose, or to include【C9】______ideas or newly discovered information.
    Revision is not【C10】______an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment.【C11】______it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to switch topics while prewriting is a type of【C12】______. However, don’t make the mistake of【C13】______the revision stage that follows drafting. Always make time to become your own【C14】______and view your dress rehearsal, 【C15】______to speak. Reviewing your work in this【C16】______can give you valuable new ideas.
    Revising involves mixing the effectiveness and appropriateness of all【C17】______of your writing. When you revise, ask yourself the following questions: Is my main idea or purpose【C18】______throughout my draft? Have I given my readers all of the【C19】______? Finally, have I included too many【C20】______details that may confuse readers?
【C13】
选项 A、abandoning
B、skimming
C、abusing
D、skipping
答案D
解析 语义衔接题。本段前面提到了修改的重要性，既然修改很重要，那么就不应该被忽视，选项 中能表达这一意思的只有[D]skipping“略过，省略”，强调忽略整体中的某个部分，故答案为[D]。[A]abandoning“放弃，中止”指放弃已经开始还未完成的事情或因为困难而放弃某事，与此处语境不符，故排除；[B]skimming“略读；撇去(液体)表面的油脂浮沫等”；[C]abusing“滥用”。
