Since then Smith has taught writing at Columbia University in New York, lived in Italy, and, most recently, given birth【C1】______a girl, Katherine. What she hasn’t done is write another novel.
Which doesn’t mean she’s stopped writing.【C2】______. she’s quietly been establishing herself as one of the most【C3】______literary critics of our time. In pieces for The New York Review of Books, she’s championed "difficult" writers such as Kafka and David Foster Wallace. These【C4】______, along with some other previously【C5】______pieces on travel, movies, and her family, are【C6】______in her frustrating new book, Changing My Mind. I mean frustrating【C7】______the highest praise. Smith’s graceful prose【C8】______Forster, Nabokov, and Hurston makes you want to read, or reread, their fiction. But, even【C9】______, you want to read Smith’s. You want to see her put into action the ideas she【C10】______.
Smith has already established her bona fides(真诚,善意)with White Teeth, The Autograph Man, and On Beauty.【C11】______, she insists that she’s a different writer from the 21-year-old who wrote White Teeth. "I don’t【C12】______that writer anymore, and I find her idea of the novel oppressive,【C13】______, useless," she writes about her younger self, and claims that she【C14】______tried to read her first novel, but was "overwhelmed with nausea" after 10 sentences, which she【C15】______to having written it at such a young age.
Smith is slightly elusive(难以捉摸的)on the subject of her next【C16】______of fiction. "I don’t like to write something【C17】______I feel I really must," she said. She has the beginning of a novel she started several years ago, but then she got "a bit【C18】______and never finished. You can be not in the【C19】______for writing fiction," she says. "It’s quite hard to write when your mind is elsewhere. My father died, I moved to Italy—life things got【C20】______the way." [br] 【C15】
选项
A、attributes
B、dedicates
C、owes
D、contributes
答案
A
解析
考查动词辨析兼短语。attribute to“归因于”;dedicate to“贡献”;owe to“把……归功于”;contribute to“捐献”。该句大意为,Smith把这(认为自己首部小说惨不忍睹的情况)归咎于写小说时太过年轻。选A。
