20.Award-winning novelist Jamaica Kincaid is talking with Time about her new book See Now Then.Your new book,See Now Then,features a Caribbean writer whose husband is a composer and who lives in the Northeast with two kids.Sounds like you.How autobiographical(自传的)is it?
(36)DBut I wasn't thinking of myself.My own self,my own everyday life,is sort of very untidy and smelly and kind of annoying under close observation.
What do you mean,untidy and smelly?
I like to be in my pajamas(睡衣)all day.Sometimes I don't wash for days because I like to read and sit around.(37)AI'm not fun to be with.
There's less in this book about slavery and race than in some of your previous work.(38)C
Race is not particularly interesting to me.Power is.Slavery interests me because it's against humanity and has not stopped.It's necessary to talk about that.
So it's not interesting to you that the most powerful man in America is black?
Not really.As I say,race is not important to me.The first time I saw Barack Obama,he gave a wonderful speech.But what made me really like him is that his wife came out and she was darker than he is.(39)G
You went to the U.S.to be a maid.What do you think today when you see maids from the West Indies?
That they probably are not as lucky as I was.I've been extremely lucky my entire life.And I've never said no to any kindness.(40)B
A.I like to eat in bed.
B.I've always taken it and said thank you.
C.Are you still interested in those topics?
D.A lot of events in the book would seem to parallel my own life.
E.Has your husband read this seemingly autobiographical novel?
F.When you find someone you hate a lot,you should really look at it.
G.It's so rare to see a black man married to a woman who is darker than he is.
分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了时代周刊关于著名小说家Jamaica Kincaid的新书SeeNowThen的访谈录.
解答 36.D.推理判断题.上文提到了Jamaica Kincaid的新书SeeNowThen,再结合本空后的"But I wasn't thinking of myself."可知,此处承上启下,是说这本书和自己经历的联系,故D项符合语境.
37.A.推理判断题.根据本空前的"I like to be in my pajamas all day.Sometimes I don't wash for days because I like to read and sit around."可知,此处承接上文,讲的还是关于untidy and smelly方面的内容,故A项符合语境.
38.C.推理判断题.根据本空前的"There's less in this book about slavery and race than in some of your previous work."可知,Jamaica Kincaid的这本书中关于slavery和 race的话题比之前的作品要少,再结合下文的解释"Race is not particularly interesting to me.Power is.Slavery interests me"可知C项中的those topics指代的就是slavery and race,故C项符合语境.
39.G.推理判断题.根据本空前的"The first time I saw Barack Obama,he gave a wonderful speech.But what made me really like him is that his wife came out and she was darker than he is."可知,此处承接上文,讲的还是关于奥巴马和他夫人的肤色的话题,故G项符合语境.
40.B.推理判断题.根据本空前的"And I've never said no to any kindness."可知,此处承接上文,说的是"never said no to any kindness"的具体做法,故B项符合语境.

First of all,successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their(42)F to go ahead.They realize that their future lies in their own hands.They understand that they cannot (43)H things in life,such as nature,the past and other people.But in the meantime,they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions.They take (44)D for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do.Perhaps what most (45)Bsuccessful people from others is that they live a life"on purpose"----they are doing what they believe they are put here to do.In their opinion,having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully (46)J people.They hold that when they live their life on purpose,their main concern is to do the job right.They love what they do----and it shows.People want to do business with them because of their commitment (责任心).To live their life on purpose,successful people find a cause they believe in and (47)A a business around it.Besides,they never easily give up.Once they have set up goals in their life,they are (48)G to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.Rather than seeing it (49)E or depressing they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
