问题     Harlan Coben believes that if you’re a writer, you’ll find the time; and that if you can’t find the time, then writing isn’t a priority and you’re not a writer. For him, writing is a【C1】________job—a job like any other. He has【C2】________it with plumbing, pointing out that a plumber doesn’t wake up and say that he can’t work with pipes today.
    【C3】________, like most writers these days, you’re holding down a job to pay the bills, it’s not【C4】________to find the time to write. But it’s not impossible. It requires determination and single-mindedness.【C5】________that most bestselling authors began writing when they were doing other things to earn a living. And today, even writers who are fairly【C6】________often have to do other work to【C7】________their writing income.
    As Harlan Coben has suggested, it’s a【C8】________of priorities. To make writing a priority, you’ll have to 【C9】________some of your day-to-day activities and some things you really enjoy. Depending on your【C10】________ and your lifestyle, that might mean spending less time watching television or listening to music, though some people can write【C11】________they listen to music. You might have to【C12】________the amount of exercise or sport you do. You’ll have to make social media an【C13】________activity rather than a daily, time-consuming 【C14】________. There’ll probably have to be less socialising with your friends and less time with your family. It’s a【C15】________learning curve, and it won’t always make you popular.
    There’s just one thing you should try to keep at least some time for,【C16】________your writing—and that’s reading. Any writer needs to read as much and as widely as they can; it’s the one【C17】________supporter— something you can’t do without.
    Time is finite. The older you get, the【C18】________it seems to go. We need to use it as carefully and as 【C19】________as we can. That means prioritising our activities so that we spend most time on the things we really want to do. If you’re a writer, that means—【C20】________—writing.
【C15】
选项 A、tough
B、gentle
C、rapid
D、funny
答案A
解析 本题考查形容词辨析并且可以利用同现结构解题。本形容词的被修饰成分为名词短语learning curve，并且一起处于句子表语的位置，其主语是代词It，这里的代词It就是指代原文之前所阐述的信息。考生把握之前的原文信息都是在阐述那些想成为作家的人要减少娱乐和运动时间，减少与朋友的社交时间，减少与家人在一起的时间等，本形容词就是对这些信息的总结性定义，依据常识也明白前述这些做法肯定是不令人愉快的。同时本填空之后出现了由并列连接词and引导的句子，其中主语代词it与本填空前的主语It指代一致，此句子的信息是it won’t always make you popular(它不会总是让你受欢迎)，与and前的句子是并列关系，考生据此判定本句的意思具有倾向一致性(同现)，因此四个选项中最符合题意的应该是A项tough(艰苦的)。其他选项中B项gentle(温柔的)和D项funny(有趣的)在倾向上是完全错误的，而C项rapid(迅速的)则与题意无关，因此本题答案为选项A。
