第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her

book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to

the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the

story and learn more about her life.

Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was

born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter

for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her

talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men

tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture

Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really

marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”

The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the

first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small

apartment by calling it “The Dump”.

Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an

injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her

a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became

a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was

released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

21. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.

A. first published on a newspaper

B. awarded ten Academy Awards

C. written in “The Dump”

D. adapted from a movie

22. The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.

A. be very pleased with

B. show great respect for

C. be much taller than

D. show little interest in

23. Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?

A. Because she was rich enough.
