解析【小題1】答案 A [Tracy Wong是一位著名的美籍華人作家。其寫作技能(skill)是自學(xué)的。后文大部分談到了她的技能與技巧。skill技能，技巧；experience經(jīng)驗(yàn)， 體驗(yàn)， 經(jīng)歷， 閱歷；practice實(shí)踐，實(shí)習(xí)；method方法。]
【小題2】答案 C [從后文作同位語的teaching disabled children和對立項(xiàng)a part?time writer for IBM，這里指的不是義務(wù)(duty)，努力(effort)，任務(wù)(task)，而是工作、職業(yè)(job)。]
【小題3】答案 D [ 指Tracy Wong所處的時(shí)期(then)。instead代替，表示對立意義；normally正常地， 通常地；certainly的確，表示對情況或事情的肯定。]
【小題4】答案 C [當(dāng)時(shí)，寫作是個(gè)人的興趣愛好。后句sent three of her stories to a publisher 有所暗示。general普通的，一般的；deep深?yuàn)W的， 難懂的；personal私人的， 個(gè)人的；lively活潑的， 活躍的。]
【小題5】答案 A [出版商對她的作品感興趣(interested)，隨即向她提出建議。interested(＝As they were interested)；encouraged的邏輯主語應(yīng)是Tracy，而不是出版商；anxiously(憂慮地， 不安地)和seriously(認(rèn)真地， 真誠地)通常不作句子性副詞用，故不能出現(xiàn)在這個(gè)位置上。]
【小題6】答案 B [出版商建議她把三個(gè)故事合起來成為一篇長故事(story)。film，program和article沒有存在的前提。]
【小題7】答案 D [對于Tracy這樣一個(gè)尚不受大眾歡迎的(popular)，普通的(unusual)，外國的(foreign)，沒有名氣的(unknown)小作家，這是不小的一筆錢。]
【小題8】答案 B [雖然她的故事人物令人感興趣，但……注意前后句之間的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。now that既然，表示原因關(guān)系；even though即使，即便，表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系；just because就是因?yàn)�，表示因果關(guān)系；except that 除了……之外，只可惜，表示排除意義。]
【小題9】答案 C [她的那些關(guān)于超自然故事有時(shí)讓/使(leave)讀者感到不自在，心神不安。find發(fā)現(xiàn)，找到；turn轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，變成；leave使某人處于某種狀態(tài)，置某人于某種狀態(tài)；hold把握，保持。]
【小題10】答案 B [作者的母親認(rèn)為作者能夠溝通來世陰間。后句“She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”有所暗示。make up彌補(bǔ)， 虛構(gòu)， 縫制， 整理；connect with連接， 聯(lián) 絡(luò)；control控制；explain 解釋，說明。]
【小題11】答案 D [但是作者也確實(shí)有這樣的感覺(feelings)，機(jī)會(chances)，事件(events)，或時(shí)刻(moments)。因?yàn)榫o接在后面的when引導(dǎo)的表示時(shí)間的定語從句，修飾前面的moments，故選D。]
【小題12】答案 A [有時(shí)某些事情無緣無故(for no reason)地，而非碰巧(by accident)，從遠(yuǎn)處(from a distance)，作為禮物式(as gifts)地發(fā)生在作者身上。后文中的“Once, she was wondering how to...”有所暗示。]
【小題13】答案 C [作者一直在納悶如何完成一個(gè)以古代中國為背景的布景場景(scene)的故事，而非描寫(description)，指示(pointing)或談話(talk)。]
【小題14】答案 B [突然(suddenly)，門鈴響了。surprisingly令人驚訝地；suddenly突然地，表示突發(fā)性行為；expectedly不出預(yù)料地；fortunately幸運(yùn)地。]
【小題15】答案 B [郵遞員手里拿著有關(guān)中國歷史(history)方面的書。前面ancient China有所提示。]
【小題16】答案 D [書來得很是蹊蹺，作者先前知道(know)、意識到會(realize)有這樣的書，但沒有送(send)出去過，更沒有預(yù)定過(order)。按常識道理，沒有預(yù)定，郵遞員不會送東西到家來，更何況是自己想弄的東西。]
【小題17】答案 A [雖然作者已經(jīng)出版了45本書，可仍然沒有由于名譽(yù)而有絲毫改變(unchanged)。由后文although in a more comfortable home 說明unmoved不妥。excited和determined與文意不符。]
【小題18】答案 D [作者也許在原先的城市(city)，原先的房子(house)居住，但不能是原先的生活(life)，而是以與27年前同樣的生活方式(way)生活著。]
【小題19】答案 D [作者不僅僅只是單一的寫作，作者的生活中有了更多的機(jī)會或空間來享受生活的多樣化(variety)。]
【小題20】答案 A [注意與文章前面her writing skill，a part?time writer for IBM，writing stories was simply a personal interest的相一致。reporting，luck和fun與文意不符。]

I started out like a wildfire and within a few days I had reached stardom(明星的地位) within the company. About a year into it.
