M: I didn’t see you in creative writing class today. What happened?
W: Oh, just a dentist appointment. That’s all. Say, did we get a new assignment for next week?
M: Yeah. A really interesting one, actually. [23]We’re supposed to write a short story that has some sort of limitation or, or, constraints imposed on it.
W: What do you mean? Like rhyming in a poem?
M: Well, that’ll be an idea. But what we write has to be prose, like prose poetry. Just to make rhyme in a poem is too easy, I guess. I think Prof. Eliot really wants to challenge us, to put our creativity to the test.
W: Well, did she give any hints about what she has in mind?
M: Not really, [24]but I may have an idea of the kind of thing she’s looking for. I just finished a really strange book by some French guy. He wrote a whole book without even using a single e.
W: A whole book without a single e? How’s it possible? But, wait a minute. I didn’t know you can read French.
M: I can’t. I read the English translation. But get this. There’s not one e in that either.
W: No way. Think of the words you couldn’t use.
M: I know, but that translator manages it. I got the book at home if you want to check out for yourself. [25]What’s really amazing to me is that leaving e in French is no easy job and doing it in English is gonna involve a complete different group of words. It’s a real work of mind.
W: Sometime you have to show me that book. But right now I’d better get going on the writing for next week.
23. What are the speakers assigned to write?
24. Why did the man mention a book by a French author?
25. What point does the man make about the letter e?

选项 A、The class has been assigned to read it in English.
B、He was able to read it in French.
C、He isn’t sure it’s available in English.
D、He thinks it’s an example of what the professor wants.

答案D

解析 四个选项共同的成分是 it,根据选项内容可以判断 it是可以阅读的内容,故问题应该和阅读的报刊杂志或书相关。男士说:“但是我想到她可能想要的东西。我刚读完一个法国人写的一本相当奇怪的书。 ”故 D正确。
