议论文 文学作品的结局 ★★ 8 min P57
　　“I didn’t like the ending，” I said to my favourite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate， and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot， and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie， with all his patience， asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters， endings that satisfied the story even if they didn’t have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course， I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver， but the ending they got did make the most sense for them.
This was an aha moment for me， and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on， if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy， I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess， I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen， historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier.
But writing the end—that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that’s unpredictable， but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere， one that fits what’s right for the characters.
That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories， Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyses the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work.
This issue won’t tell you what your ending should be—that’s up to you and the story you’re telling—but it might provide what you need to get there.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章首先通过与教授关于小说结局的讨论引发了对结局的思考，接着阐述了不同类型的文学作品的结局有不同的特点，最后提出了写好结局的重要性并介绍了Writer’s Digest杂志如何帮助你写出更好的结局。

记叙文 影视作品的影响 ★★★ 9 min P58
　　The only science fiction that ever really caught my attention when I was growing up， besides Star Trek and Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land， was the novel Contact by Carl Sagan. When I was 15， I saw the 1997 film version of this. Later， as a 17-year-old adapting to my first semester at university， I read the book. Contact eventually became the gateway for me to try more popular science books.
One thing that interested me was the bitter fights the researchers got into with one another about their different ways of measuring the expansion rate of space-time. On second thoughts， maybe this was a lesson I was supposed to draw from Contact， but， at the time， I didn’t regard such politics as a scientific problem. Instead， what caught my attention was the portrayal of Eleanor “Ellie” Arroway， a scientist who searched for alien intelligence. In the film version， Ellie is seen listening to space using a pair of headphones connected to the Very Large Array (VLA)—a real facility in New Mexico.
Astronomers don’t really do this for the purposes of actual research because there is rarely any point. This is the kind of detail that is unimportant for the film of Contact， but how it portrays radio astronomy is one of the inaccuracies I occasionally hear scientists complain about. I was lucky enough to observe the behaviour of some water molecules (分子) in the Orion nebula (猎户座星云) using the VLA for my third-year lab course. We didn’t listen to the data. Instead， we processed it so that we could look at it.
That was probably the only time I ever excelled in the lab， and I was so excited to be a real-life Ellie Arroway. Later， I was forced to think more about the human aspects of my working experience. I witnessed unnecessarily heated arguments between scientists， complete with shouting and chalkboard punching (用拳猛击). But， thankfully， Contact had not only introduced me to the idea of radio astronomy as a possible career path， it had also given me a road map for remaining calm in the confusing conflict of astronomical wonder and human politics.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了《超时空接触》这部作品对作者的深远影响。
(　　)5.What can be learnt about the author in his teenage years
A.He watched Contact’s film version in his freshman year.
B.His interest in science was inspired by Contact.
C.He read a wide range of science fiction books.
D.His favourite science fiction author was Robert Heinlein.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When I was 15， I saw the 1997 film version of this. Later， as a 17-year-old adapting to my first semester at university， I read the book. Contact eventually became the gateway for me to try more popular science books.”可知，《超时空接触》激发了作者对科学的兴趣。
B
(　　)6.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Detecting the sound of space.
B.Searching for alien intelligence.
C.Communicating with non-experts.
D.Visiting the VLA in New Mexico.
【解析】 代词指代题。根据第二段中的“In the film version， Ellie is seen listening to space using a pair of headphones connected to the Very Large Array (VLA)—a real facility in New Mexico.”可知，Ellie用一副连接到甚大天线阵(VLA)的耳机收听太空的声音，并结合画线词所在句句意“天文学家这样做并不是为了实际的研究，因为这几乎没有任何意义”可推知，“this”指代上文提到的“探测太空的声音”。
A
(　　)7.Why does the author mention his third-year lab course
A.To demonstrate his strong interest in lab projects.
B.To explain why scientists sometimes make complaints.
C.To show his observations had achieved positive results.
D.To prove the film of Contact presented radio astronomy incorrectly.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This is the kind of detail that is unimportant for the film of Contact， but how it portrays radio astronomy is one of the inaccuracies I occasionally hear scientists complain about. I was lucky enough to observe…We didn’t listen to the data. Instead， we processed it so that we could look at it.”可知，作者在第三年的实验课程中使用甚大天线阵观察了猎户座星云中一些水分子的行为，并没有听取数据。由此推知，《超时空接触》这部电影对射电天文学的描述是错误的。
D
(　　)8.What lesson did Contact teach the author
A.How to grasp career opportunities.
B.How to get an excellent score on a lab course.
C.How to deal with conflicts between scientists.
D.How to explain the science of radio astronomy.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But， thankfully， Contact had not only introduced me to the idea of radio astronomy as a possible career path， it had also given me a road map for remaining calm in the confusing conflict of astronomical wonder and human politics.”可知，《超时空接触》这部电影教会作者如何处理科学家之间的冲突。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国作家海漄的《时空画师》获得雨果奖“最佳短中篇小说”奖。
24.to win　【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语动词为became，空格处和谓语动词之间没有连词连接，应使用非谓语动词；当被修饰词前有序数词修饰时，常用动词不定式作后置定语。
25.were announced　【解析】 考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。根据上下文可知，此处应用一般过去时；分析句子结构可知，动词和主语构成动宾关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态；又因主语awards 表达复数概念，动词应用复数形式，故填were announced。
26.from　【解析】 考查介词。句意：该活动于周三至周日举行。from…to…意为“从……到……”，为固定搭配。
27.traditional　【解析】 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空格处修饰名词Chinese culture，应使用形容词形式traditional作定语。
28.an　【解析】 考查冠词。句意：以王希孟为原型，海漄创造了绘画天才赵希孟这个角色，他在 1000 多年前为一位皇帝作画。此处泛指“一位皇帝”，应使用不定冠词；又因空格后的emperor发音以元音音素开头，故填an。
29.suffering　【解析】 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空格处应使用suffer的名词形式suffering作After的宾语。suffering 意为“苦难”，是不可数名词。
30.where　【解析】 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导限制性定语从句，并在从句中作地点状语；先行词为a space，指地点，应使用关系副词where。
31.reveals　【解析】 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据上下文可知，此处陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时；又因主语the story表达单数概念，动词应使用单数形式。
32.written　【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语动词为reads，空格处和谓语动词之间没有连词连接，应使用非谓语动词；write和逻辑主语post构成动宾关系，应使用动词-ed形式作后置定语。
33.and　【解析】 考查连词。空格前后都是完整的句子，因此空格处应填连词；空格处表示并列关系，故填and。
