解析试题分析:考查连词,A. as当…时候B. until直到…C. while当…时候D. when当…时候,before主要引导时间状语从句,意为“先于”“…之后才”“(不多久)就…”。当主句是将来时时,从句谓语动词须用现在时;当主句是一般过去时或过去完成时时,从句常用过去时。before引导的时间状语从句不能用于否定式,when所引导的从句,其谓语动词即可是持续动词,也可是短暂动词;谓语动词动作发生的时间可以与主句谓语动词的动作是同时、或之前、之后;while句中的谓语动词是持续动词,不用短暂动词,位于动作发生的时间通常与主句谓语动词动作发生时间是同时;as侧重指从句的动作与主句的动作同时进行,谓语动词可以是持续性动词,也可以是短暂性动词,所以选A
考点:考查连词

It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more. But in order to work up the desire to rewrite, it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers’ opinions. One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we’re often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down. Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work. .
Different from popular belief ,we do not usually think in the works and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas (known as “mentalese”), and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language . But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry (织锦),writing can only be composed one thread at a time . Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple. It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produces new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.
When people write as if some strict critics (批评家) are looking over their shoulder , they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start. Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem. When writing we should have two different minds. At the first stage, we should see every idea, as well as the words we use to express it ,as wonderful and worth putting down . It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses.
