问题     I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community.
    I wasted a lot of time looking for the "typical" village, yet no such thing exists. Conditions vary too widely. But the villages I stayed in had much in common—poverty, dirt, ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, suspicious. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the world’s people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.
    In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a bumpy road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the Mils. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a magnificent view. After several hours’ walk the village came into view.
Before coming to India the writer______.
选项 A、had been a successful politician
B、had made a decision to do no more work
C、had been dismissed from his job
D、had written articles for publication
答案D
解析 这是一道推论题。在第二段第五句、六句、七句中作者说：“我为什么来?我把作为政治评论记者的工作丢在一边，因为我的思想已经发生了变化。我开始相信，在第三世界国家里所发生的事比什么都重要。”由此我们可以推断出，作者在来印度之前，作为政治评论记者，他一定发表过许多文章，因此选项D正确。选项A、B文中均未提及。选项C“已经被解雇了”。在文中作者用“put aside”这个词组，意为“把……放在一边，(暂时)丢开，移开”。由此看出，作者并不是被解雇了，而是主动地暂时丢开工作。
