The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments.Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms.Mitchell lived with her husband,John Marsh.They made fun of the small apartment by calling it"The Dump".
Around 1926,Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury.Her husband brought her books to read from the library.She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book.Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success.Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book.In 1939the film version was released.It won ten Academy Awards,including Best Picture.

分析 文章描述了通过游览作家Margaret Mitchell的故居来了解她开始写作的故事以及她的生活,还介绍了她的作品和取得的成就.
解答 12.答案 C 细节题.文章最后一段提到 Margaret Mitchell 在他们的小公寓养病期间读了很多书,后来她的丈夫给她买了打字机让她自己写一本,这本书就是后来的《飘》,C项正确.A项文章并未提及,故错误,文章最后一段说,是电影《飘》获得了十项奥斯卡金象奖,而非 Margaret 写的书,B项错误.文章最后一段倒数第二句说明 Margaret Mitchell 先写了书,然后改编成了电影,D项把顺序颠倒了,错误.故正确答案为C.
13.答案 B 推断题.由第二段第五句"She was only about one and a half meters tall."可知,她只有一米五高.上文又提到她是跟一些大学的男孩谈话,所以可以猜到这些男孩比她高很多.故正确答案为B.
14.答案B 推断题.A项,文章只提到她身高不高,并未提及她婚姻不幸,错误;B项,文章第二段第三句说到她还是个孩子的时候就开始写文章了,第四段又说明她后来因为在家养伤又开始写作,B项正确;C项,根据文章第四段可知,她是先不做记者才开始读书写文章的,C项错误;D项,文章只提到她受过伤,但并未强调她的人生充满苦难和悲伤,D项错误.故正确答案为B.
15.答案 D 主旨题.本文主要是介绍 Margaret Mitchell,第一段介绍她最著名的书,"learn about her life"点题.第二段从她的一幅照片入手,介绍她小时候和年轻时候的事.第三段介绍她和丈夫的公寓.最后一段介绍她如何写出了《飘》,以及获得的成就.综上所述,文章介绍了 Margaret Mitchell,D项正确.AC项只是文章介绍的某一方面,C项侧重于介绍 Margaret Mitchell 当作家的方面,均不能概况全文内容.故正确答案为D.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
