问题     She once said:" When people ask me if writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying, ’the end is nothing; the road is all.’ That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the typewriter(打字机) with the thought that one more task had to be done. "
   Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her, but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor(活力) of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the Great Plains with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers.   “It’s a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull; they like a church tower, an old factory, a waterfall, country all made to look like a German Christmas card ... But when I come to the open plains, something happens. I’m home. I breathe differently. "
What did Cather mean by "the end is nothing; the road is all"?
选项 A、Writing is the only path to success.
B、I feel happy when I finish writing a book.
C、I enjoy writing whether it is hard or easy.
D、Writing itself, not its result, is important.
答案D
解析 句意推测题。该句的前面指出这是对于别人问她写作是一条艰难还是容易之路时的回答，而后文描述的都是她对这一工作本身的感受，结合这句话的字面意义(结果并不重要，过程就是一切)可以推知，这句话指：重要的是写作本身而不是写作的结果(成功与否)，选[D]。
