When Zadie Smith finished her most recent novel, On Beauty, she drank a bottle of wine, lay down among the rotting apples in her garden, and cried. 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] 【C5】
选项
A、published
B、circulated
C、simulated
D、pressed
答案
A
解析
考查动词辨析。四个选项中与文学领域相关的动词只有publish“出版”,故A为答案。circulate“循环,流传”;simulate“假装,模仿”;press作名词可意为“出版社”,但此处为动词,意为“压,挤”。
