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?
【C20】

选项 A、unnecessary
B、unreliable
C、uninteresting
D、unimportant

答案A

解析 语义衔接题。把读者搞迷糊的应该是太多的赘述,即不必要的细节,并且unnecessary details与effectiveness相对,故答案为[A]unnecessary“不必要的”。既然是作品中的details,那就应该是与写作目的相关的细节,此处强调的是太多的无用细节,故排除[B]unreliable“不可靠的”和[C]uninteresting“无趣的”;不重要的细节并不代表不起作用,故排除[D】unimportant“不重要的”。
