阅读理解 When student complete a first draft, they consider die job of writing done — and their teachers too often agree. When professional writers complete a first draft, they usually feel that they are at the start of the writing process. When a draft is completed, the job of writing can begin. That difference in attitude is the difference between amateur and professional, inex?perience and experience, journeyman and draftsman. Peter F. Drucker, the prolific (高产的) business writer, calls his first draft "the zero draft" —after that he can start counting. Most writers share the feeling mat the first draft, and all of those which follow, are opportunities to discover what they have to say and how best they can say it. To produce a progression of drafts, each of which says more and says it more clearly, the writer has to develop a special kind of reading skill. In school we are taught to decode what appears on the page as finished writing. Writers, however, face a different category of possibility and responsibility when they read their own drafts. To them the words on the page are never finished. Each can be changed and rearranged, can set off a chain reaction of confusion or clarified meaning. This is a different kind of reading, which is possibly more difficult and certainly more exciting. Writers must learn to be their own best enemy. They must accept the criticism of others and be suspicious of it; they must accept the praise of others and be even more suspicious of it. Writers cannot depend on others. They must detach themselves from their own pages so that they can apply both their caring and their craft to their own work. Such detachment is not easy. Science fiction writer Ray Bradbury supposedly puts each manuscript away for a year to the day and men rereads it as a stranger. Not many writers have the discipline or the time to do this. We must read when our judgment may be at its best; when we are close to the best moment of creation. Most people think that the principal problem is that writers are too proud of what they have written. Actually, a greater problem for most professional writers is one shared by the majority of students. They are overly critical, think everything is dreadful, tear up page after page, never complete a draft, see the task as hopeless. Therefore, the writer must learn to read critically but constructively, to cut what is bad and reveal what is good. At the end of each revision, a manuscript may look worked over, torn apart, pinned together, added to, deleted from, words changed and words changed back. Yet the book must maintain its original freshness and spontaneity (原创性，创作冲动).

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】综合分析题。四个选项涉及不同部分的内容：A和C与第四段相关，在分析修改时如何面对他人的褒贬，文章说：They must accept the criticism of others and be suspicious of it；they must accept the praise of others and be even more suspicious of it．Writers cannot depend on others．(他们必须接受他人的批评，同时质疑他人的批评；接受他人的表扬又质疑他人的表扬。他们不可依赖他人)，可见C的说法符合文章的意思，而A的说法不符合文章的原意。B与第三段的内容相关，与文章第五段内容相关。文中说：a greater problem for most professional writers is one shared by the majority of students．They are overly critical，think everything is dreadful(作家面临的最大问题和许多学生一样：他们过于自我批判、认为所有的问题都很严重)，所以D符合文章的意思。
