问题     Harlan Coben believes that if you’re a writer, you’ll find the time; and that if you can’t find the time, then writing isn’t a priority and you’re not a writer. For him, writing is a【C1】________job—a job like any other. He has【C2】________it with plumbing, pointing out that a plumber doesn’t wake up and say that he can’t work with pipes today.
    【C3】________, like most writers these days, you’re holding down a job to pay the bills, it’s not【C4】________to find the time to write. But it’s not impossible. It requires determination and single-mindedness.【C5】________that most bestselling authors began writing when they were doing other things to earn a living. And today, even writers who are fairly【C6】________often have to do other work to【C7】________their writing income.
    As Harlan Coben has suggested, it’s a【C8】________of priorities. To make writing a priority, you’ll have to 【C9】________some of your day-to-day activities and some things you really enjoy. Depending on your【C10】________ and your lifestyle, that might mean spending less time watching television or listening to music, though some people can write【C11】________they listen to music. You might have to【C12】________the amount of exercise or sport you do. You’ll have to make social media an【C13】________activity rather than a daily, time-consuming 【C14】________. There’ll probably have to be less socialising with your friends and less time with your family. It’s a【C15】________learning curve, and it won’t always make you popular.
    There’s just one thing you should try to keep at least some time for,【C16】________your writing—and that’s reading. Any writer needs to read as much and as widely as they can; it’s the one【C17】________supporter— something you can’t do without.
    Time is finite. The older you get, the【C18】________it seems to go. We need to use it as carefully and as 【C19】________as we can. That means prioritising our activities so that we spend most time on the things we really want to do. If you’re a writer, that means—【C20】________—writing.
【C7】
选项 A、donate
B、generate
C、supplement
D、calculate
答案C
解析 本题考查动词辨析。本动词处于一个不定式中，其宾语为their writing income，这里的代词their指代的是前文的writers who are fairly well-known(相当知名的作家)，同时不定式之前的原文信息为have to do other work。本动词所在的不定式就是have to do other work(不得不做其他工作)的目的所在，考生据此就能推断出本题的答案应该是C项supplement(补充)，即“不得不做其他工作”的目的是“补充他们的写作收入”，四个选项中C项supplement(补充)所表达的意思最为合理，因此本题答案为选项C。
