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.
【C12】
选项
A、put up with
B、make up for
C、hang on to
D、cut down on
答案
D
解析
本题考查动词词组辨析并且可以利用同现结构解题。本动词词组作为句子的谓语,其主语是代词You,而这里的代词You指代的是那些希望成为作家的人,其宾语是the amount of exercise or sport,同时本动词词组前面是have to,即本动词表达的是一个那些希望成为作家的人不得不做出的动作,考生只要把握本文的主旨倾向是“要想成为作家,就必须投入时间”,很容易判定本题的答案为D项cutdown on(削减),即“不得不减少锻炼或运动量”,这是四个选项中唯一符合本题题意和文章主旨倾向的选项,因此本题答案为选项D。
