Question

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

For the writers in Western cultures, autumn is a difficult season to describe. On one hand, it is the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. Winter is 【1】 the corner. As Ernest Hemingway 【2】 (write), you expected to be sad in the fall. On the 【3】 hand, autumn has its good side. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring: “ Autumn is a second spring 【4】 every leaf is a flower.” Another autumn theme is wisdom. The 【5】 (arrive) of the season is thought to be similar to a person 【6】 (become) mature. The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats conveyed this theme in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole. 【7】 (inspire) by the swans, he is moved to think about them and life in the 【8】 (real). He doubts whether he can still love like the lover swans do. Of course, many other 【9】 (theme) can play a part in the literature of autumn. But autumn writing usually focuses on the changes in nature, which writers often compare 【10】 changes in human life.
