2007 年 4 月北京成人英语三级考试真题及答案

Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)

Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by

some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four

choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the

corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage 1

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.(76) I always

encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference

between “being a writer’ and writing. In most cases these individuals are

dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve

got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.

The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair.

For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is

never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become

a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a

friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even

matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual

typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.

After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to

doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.

But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going

to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? (77 ) I would keep

putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and

fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must

learn to live there.

1.The passage is meant to ______.

A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to

experience

B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional

writer

C.show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and

fame

D.encourage young people to pursue a writing career

2.What can be concluded from the passage?

A.Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.

B.A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.

C.Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.

D.The chances for writer to become successful are small

3.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing

career?
