问题     The first attempt of most artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece. If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), revising will seem a natural part of the writing【C1】______.
    What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals that many Broadway shows【C2】______? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering—【C3】______revising. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Phantom of the Opera【C4】______such a process.
    When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in【C5】______a funny, exciting production. However,
when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a(n) 【C6】______psychological love story set to music. The musical had undergone several revisions due, in part, 【C7】______problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆).
    When you revise, you change aspects of your work in【C8】______to your evolving purpose, or to include【C9】______ideas or newly discovered information.
    Revision is not【C10】______an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment.【C11】______it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to switch topics while prewriting is a type of【C12】______. However, don’t make the mistake of【C13】______the revision stage that follows drafting.

When you revise, ask yourself the following questions: Is my main idea or purpose【C18】______throughout my draft? Have I given my readers all of the【C19】______? Finally, have I included too many【C20】______details that may confuse readers? [br] 【C6】
选项 A、amusing
B、disappointing
C、moving
D、living
答案 C
解析 语义衔接题。前面提到安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯开始时想把该剧写成一个funny,exciting production，随后提到的However表明，最后的结果与此相反，由此排除[A]amusing“有趣的，好笑的”；结合前文可知，本文主要说明修改的重要性，由此可知修改后的《剧院魅影》不可能是[B]disappointing“使失望的”；[D]living“生动有趣的”不符合文意，故排除，故答案为[C]moving“动人的”。根据常识可知，《剧院魅影》讲述的是发生在巴黎歌剧院的一个神秘而凄美感人的爱情悲剧，由此也可确定答案为moving。
