问题     It is simple enough to say that since books have classes: fiction, biography, poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice (同谋).
    If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fitness(委婉之处), from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Immerse yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty-two chapters of a novel—if we consider how to read a novel first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building, but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you--how at the comer of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.
When a writer is writing he often gets the whole conception ______.
选项 A、after thinking for a long time
B、through an instant inspiration
C、according to his own experience
D、by way of watching the objects attentively
答案B
解析 答案可从文章最后一句获得。解答此类题的关键就是找到并正确理解有关细节。根据最后一句可知“作家构思的获得是通过瞬间的感悟。”A项意为“通过长期的思考”，虽符合一般常识，但不是作者看法，排除。B项意为“瞬间/快速的灵感”，与作者的观点十分接近，有正确的可能。再看C项“根据作者自己的经历”，作者也没有提及。而D项“通过专心致志地观看描写的对象”，这只是构思活动过程的一部分。与B项相比，也应排除。现在就可确定B项为正确答案。
