She once said:" When people ask me if writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying, ’
the end is nothing; the road is all.
’ That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the typewriter(打字机) with the thought that one more task had to be done. "
Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her, but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor(活力) of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the Great Plains with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers. “It’s a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later.

It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold.
A great many people find it very dull; they like a church tower, an old factory, a waterfall, country all made to look like a German Christmas card ... But when I come to the open plains, something happens. I’m home. I breathe differently. "
What was the place like where Cather grew up?
选项
A、It was cold, plain and without a church.
B、It was a colorful world of wild flowers.
C、It was like a German Christmas card.
D、It was vast, open, fiat and wild.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。第二段最后指出她成长的地方是一个treeless(无树的)大平原,有野花(wild flowers)、麦田和河流;第三段又用直接引语描述了那里的平坦(flat)、开阔(open),综合起来可知应选[D]。
