W: When you write a novel, do you know where you’re going, Dr. James?
M: Yes, you must, really, if you’re writing the classical detective story, because it must be so carefully plotted and so carefully clued. I have schemes. I have charts. I have diagrams. It doesn’t mean to say I always get it right, but I do plan before I begin writing. But what is so fascinating is how a book changes during the process of writing. It seems to me that creative writing is a process of revelation, really, rather than of creativity in the ordinary sense.
W: When you’re planning the basic structure, do you like to go away to be sure that you’re by yourself?
M: I need to be by myself certainly, absolutely. I can’t even bare anybody else in the house. I don’t mind much where I am as long as I’ve got enough space to write, but I need to be completely alone.
W: Is that very important to you?
M: Oh, yes. I’ve never been lonely in all my life.
W: How extraordinary! Never?
M: No, never.
W: You’re very lucky. Someone once said that there’s a bit of ice at the heart of every writer.
M: Yes. I think this is true. The writer can stand aside from experience and look at it, watch it happening. There is this ’detachment’ and I realize that there are obviously experiences which would overwhelm everyone. But very often, a writer can appear to stand aside, and this detachment makes people feel there’s a bit of ice in the heart.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. What is the key to writing a good classical detective story, according to the man?
2. What is the fascinating part of writing according to the man?
3. What does the man mainly need when working on a book?
4. What does the man say about writers?
选项
A、They rely heavily on their own imagination.
B、They have experiences similar to the characters.
C、They look at the world in a detached manner.
D、They are over whelmed by their own prejudices.
答案
C
解析
根据前面两题,考生可推断选项中的they 可能指代作家。对话最后提到男士对作家的看法:他们看着故事的发生,与他人隔离,这种隔离让人觉得作家心中有一点冰冷。原文中使用名词 detachment,而选项C)中使用了形容词 detached。
