【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
When people think of Hollywood, they think of the city where dreams come true.This did not apply to F.Scott Fitzgerald, a screenwriter who had his share of ups and downs in this land. Fitzgerald was not a successful Hollywood writer because he was not good at the career path he chose.He was an amazing novelist, but his efforts of turning them into screenplays ended in disappointment and confusion.It was because of a lack of potential for screenwriting as well as his addiction and desire to be famous.
Growing up as a boy, Fitzgerald went to movies a lot.He wanted to write stories that would eventually turn into movies.The problem was: just because Fitzgerald wanted to do something didn’t necessarily mean that he was good at it.He made his attempts, but most of these efforts ended in disappointment because he thought about the change from script(剧本)to screen too much.His plot was too detailed and complicated; his tone was too serious or his dialogue too sentimental(感伤的).
Fitzgerald’s quick rise to fame also led to his fall.In life, things are not meant to happen all at once, all that the same time but it did for Fitzgerald. At his best time, three of his early stories were made into short films, including The Great Gatsby and Babylon Revisited. As the twenties approached, he was gradually forgotten by the reading public. He became drunk and constantly took pills both to sleep and wake up.His marriage was destroyed and his wife broke down mentally.He seemed unsure about his life.
Fitzgerald had another chance at success when many opportunities came his way, including revisions of Emlyn William’s play The Light of Heart and production of one of his own scripts, Cosmopolitan.However, these were all put aside and he was right back where he started, left behind and called a “ruined man”.Fitzgerald simply wanted too much in his life.He wanted “to be both a great novelist and a Hollywood success, to write songs like Cole Porter and poetry like John Keats”.His addiction to fame held him back and led to his failure as a Hollywood writer.

【题目】Umbrella is what we easily forget and leave behind in our daily life. When the weather is fine, we certainly don’t think of it; only when it's raining, we’ll carry it purposefully. But as soon as the rain stops, most likely we’ll forget【1】we’ve put it. It has to wait patiently and pitifully for【2】owner to claim it, otherwise it’ll remain alone as a deserted umbrella.
Once I suddenly found my longtime【3】(use) umbrella “disappeared”. I really got lost and regretted quite some time【4】my own carelessness.
Several days later, out of my【5】 (expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked. I was extremely glad to regain it. Looking carefully at it, though it was so familiar【6】me, I found for the first time its wooden handle【7】(wear)out as a result of repeated rain-wash for years. I sought for it only when I needed it. It occurred to me that I should have paid【8】(much) attention to it.
It sets me thinking. Around us there are always people giving us support in silence just like【9】umbrella that protects us from the rain or any wretched weather. Will gou think of those individuals【10】have helped you get through difficlty when you are leading a comfortable life?
【题目】There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book hand. Of course, we may with our guide-books the history and developments of a town and get to know them. then, if we take our time and in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we it as a whole, we begin to have some ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets in this particular way, and not in any way?
Here even the best guide-book us. One can't find in it the information about how a town has developed to the appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town to develop.
What is the of studying towns in this way? For me, it is that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one's own eyes. A visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive just reading it in a guide-book.
