Many professions are associated with a particular stereotype. The classic (1)_____ of a writer, for example, is (2)_____ a slightly crazy-looking person, (3)_____ in an attic, writing away furiously for days (4)_____ end. Naturally, he has his favorite pen and note-paper, or a beat-up typewriter, (5)_____ which he could not produce a readable word.
Nowadays, we know that such images bear little (6)_____ to reality. But are they completely (7)_____? In the case of at least one writer, it would seem not. Dame Muriel Spark, who (8)_____ 80 in February, in many ways resembles this stereotypical "writer". She is certainly not (9)_____, and she doesn’t work in an attic. But she is rather particular (10)_____ the tools of her trade.
She insists on writing with a (11)_____ type of pen in a certain type of notebook, which she buys from a certain stationer in Edinburgh called James Thin. In fact, so (12)_____ is she that, if someone uses one of her pens by (13)_____, she immediately throws it away. And she claims she (14)_____ enormous difficulty writing in any notebook other than (15)_____ sold by James Thin. This could soon be a (16)_____, as the shop no longer stocks them, (17)_____ Dame Muriel’s supply of 72-page spiral bound is nearly (18)_____.
As well as her "obsession" about writing materials, Muriel Spark (19)_____ one other characteristic with the stereotypical "writer": her work is the most (20)_____ thing in her life. It has stopped her from marrying; cost her old friends and made her new ones, and driven her from London to New York to Rome. Today she lives in the Italian province of Tuscany with a friend.
选项
A、drawing
B、image
C、description
D、illustration
答案
B
解析
此处语境指的是作家留给人的印象,image有一项英文释义为:The opinion or concept of something that is held by the public,用在这里符合文意。drawing指绘画,显然不符文意。description指"描述,描绘",但文中并非指某作品(或某人)对作家的描述,而是指作家留给大众的印象。illustration意为"说明,例证",指通过实例或图解等方式说明某一问题,明显不符文意。
