5、Writing is not exactly a team sport. (26) a writer you spend most of your time chugging away by your lonesome, with only your words for (27) . But all the same, writing isnt a one way street: (28) were not talking about diaries, all writing is meant to have an audience. Youre not talking to yourself
6、, you are having a (29) .Many writers are only (30) aware of their audience as they draft their stories. Some believe the reader doesnt come into play at all until the story is finished, or the article on the editors desk. But since we write to be read, readers are an essential part of the writing (
7、31) itself. Your audience is an implicit part of your writing, as much as plot and characters. Your implicit audience helps (32) your story; it sets your tone and defines your style; it determines in part your choice of protagonist; it is the ear to your voice. If we know how to write and what to wr
8、ite about, (33) we also know who it is were writing for?You are not writing fur your writers circle, or your editor, or your mother-in-law who reads all your (34) drafts. No matter how important these people may be, they are not the reader I am talking about here, or (35) , they shouldnt be. Writers
9、 tend to become hopelessly blocked when they try to please specific readers. Especially when those readers are themselves writers. Or mothers-in-law. Knowing your (36) audience will help you avoid that particular trap.The simplest way to start getting a handle on your audience is to form a mental (3
10、7) of your ideal reader. What kind of person is he/she? Where does he live, what kind of job, what kind of hobbies does he have? What books does he read (and when, and how many)? Chances are, your ideal reader is a lot like you. We write (38) when we write for an audience with whom we can (39) .Stic
11、king with that audience is more important than you think. Too-harsh criticism from fellow writers or editors can undermine your confidence to the point (40) you write just to suit their tastes. Uncritical admiration of relatives and friends can make you sloppy and lax.(分数:15.00)(1).A. InB. AsC. forD

15、very first time. We snap some pictures. (32) them, and let family members ooh and aah over them. Sounds familiar, (33) ? Its nice to be praised, isnt it? But, you want more; you need (34) You need people who look at your images in a (35) way. Not (36) a spouse who thinks the picture of their daughte
16、r is adorable. Not from your mom who thinks the flowers are quite pretty. This is not enough for us.We crave an unbiased (37) . We crave a new understanding of our work. We crave knowledge about this medium. And, we can only achieve (38) through interaction with other photographers. Isnt that one of
17、 the (39) all of us are here?But, why do we need this? For validation? Well, (40) we get that from the oohs and aahs of family members? (41) is it to gain confidence in our own ability? Or is it to gain knowledge that can only be (42) through osmosis (潜移默化;耳濡目染;渗透作用)? Actually, I think its (43) .We
18、learn so much just by going to a museum. Why would (44) around others (and inherently others work) be any different? We gain confidence in our own ability when we hear what others think of our work. We gain confidence in our (45) , when others listen to our past experiences.Through knowing others an
19、d hearing of their (46) and tribulations, we also become (47) photographers. Through this osmosis experience, we take part of each other and develop our own sense of style, sense of (48) . We may see how another photographer failed at one shot, and instantly, we know how to make it better. We may se
20、e how another photographer used a (49) technique to (50) deliver a wonderful message and we take that into our own.(分数:20.00)(1).A. show B. pick C. make D. check(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D.(2).A. Develop B.

39、r days of the 1960s or the dotcom boom of the 1990s. As Kevin Starr points out in his history of the state, California has long been one of the prisms through which the American people, for better and for worse, could glimpse their future.Mr. Starr is too good a historian to offer any pat explanatio
40、n; instead, he concentrates on the extraordinary array of people and events that have led from the mythical land of Queen Calafia, through the rule of Spain and Mexico, and on to the governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger, an iron-pumping film star with an Austrian accent. Moreover, he does so with s
41、uch elegance and humor that his book is a joy to read.What emerges is not all Californian sunshine and light. Think back to the savage violence that accompanied the 1849 Gold Rush; or to the exclusion orders against the Chinese; or to the riots that regularly marked industrial and social relations i
42、n San Francisco. California was very much the Wild West, having to wait until 1850 before it could force its way to statehood.So what tamed it? Mr. Starrs answer is a combination of great men, great ideas and great projects. He emphasizes the development of Californias infrastructure, the developmen
43、t of agriculture; the spread of the railroads and freeways; and, perhaps the most important factor for todays hi-tech California, the creation of a superb set of public universities.All this, he writes, began with water, the sine qua non of any civilization. He goes on cheerfully to note the monumental damage to the environment
