Behind the Scenes of a Writing Conference

When you attend a writing conference, you see a facade that took months or longer to

make up. Plenty is going on behind the scenes. Let’s take a look behind the curtain.

The day starts long before attendees walk through the door. Registration is set up, signs

posted and tables arranged. Logistics ( 后勤 ) all fall on the conference organizers. For

example, the annual conference I direct in San Francisco (see the poster above) is a simple one-

day conference that takes more than eight months to put together and around 15 staff and

volunteers to manage. Larger multi-day conferences have even more going on behind the

scenes.

Overseeing it all is the conference director, a conductor who typically works with

committee directors to make sure everything runs smoothly. Over the course of the conference,

staffers make sure everything stays on track. It’s not unusual for staff to walk miles in a day

and go without meals.

Conference staff and volunteers are always behind the curtains making sure your

experience is perfect. The next time you attend a well-run writing conference, take a moment to

thank staff and volunteers for their devotion. They deserve all the praise they can get because

without them, there would be no conference.

1. The underlined word facade refers to ___.

A. the effort behind the scenes

B. the scenes visible to the public

C. the literary masterpiece on display

D. the material distributed at the meeting

2. What’s the latest time to start to arrange for the one-day conference in San Francisco?

A. July, 2019. B. March, 209.

C. September, 2019 . D. January, 2019.

3. According to the writer, the attendees of the 2020 San Francisco Writers Conference should

praise the ____ .

A. three speakers B. authors and editors

C. staff and volunteers D. corporate sponsors

【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了 2020 年旧金山作家年会的相关信息和幕后筹备工作。

【1题详解】

词义猜测题。根据划线词后的“Plenty is going on behind the scenes.”可知，很多事情都是

在幕后进行的，因此此处是说当你参加写作会议时，你会看到一个花了几个月甚至更长时

间才形成的表面现象，也就是说与幕后发生的事情相比，你看到的只不过是表面现象而已

由此可知划线词指的是“公众可见的场景”。故 B项正确。

【2题详解】

推理判断题。根据 Behind the Scenes of a Writing Conference 部分第二段中的“The day

starts long before attendees walk through the door. Registration is set up, signs posted and tables

arranged. Logistics ( 后勤 ) all fall on the conference organizers. For example, the annual

conference I direct in San Francisco (see the poster above) is a simple one-day conference that

takes more than eight months to put together”可知，这一天早在与会者走出大门之前就开始

了，设立登记处，张贴标志，安排桌子，物流全部由会议组织者负责，例如，我在旧金山

主持的年会（见上面的海报）是一个简单的为期一天的会议，总共需要 8个多月的时间去

准备，再根据海报上的时间 “ September 14th at the Unitarian Center Details and

registration:”可知，9月14 日在 Unitarian 中心登记详细信息和注册，而 9月14 日的八个月

以前是 1月份。由此可知，安排旧金山为期一天的会议最迟要在 2019 年1月开始。故 D项

正确。

【3题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The next time you attend a well-run writing conference, take

a moment to thank staff and volunteers for their devotion.”可知，下次你参加一个运行良好的

写作会议时，花点时间感谢工作人员和志愿者的奉献。由此可知，作者认为参加 2020 年旧

金山作家年会的人应该称赞此次年会的工作人员和志愿者。故 C项正确。

Harper Lee(1926-2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird

(published in 1960), which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern

American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.

For decades, the book was Le’s only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely

influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the

most widely taught novels in the US schools. In 2007 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of

Freedom for her contributions to literature.

Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won

her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared. The world, however,

continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she suggested that she had a story in

progress.

In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout,

the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a

story of Scout as an adult. Accusations arose that the 89-year-old Lee was not able to agree to the

manuscript’s release, and that various parties had signed on her behalf.

Though Lee moved to New York in 1949, she spent many years guarding her privacy (隐私)

in Monroeville, which served as the clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.

In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke (中风), but recovered and later settled in Monroeville

permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every

morning at the same fast- food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. The countless

Americans knew her only through her works, and they will undoubtedly miss her,

4. What can be learned about Harper Lee from the first two paragraphs?

A. She was regarded the greatest writer in America.

B. She made great contributions to American literature.

C. She once starred in a film adapted from her own novel.

D. She got her novels well accepted in most American schools.

5. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?

A. She tried to get out of accusations.

B. She wanted to write another novel.

C. She intended to avoid being bothered.

D. She wasn’t comfortable with her novel’s influence.

6. What can we learn about Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman?

A. It is based on her own life story.

B. It is adapted into a famous film.

C. It won her lots of honors and awards.

D. It continues the story of her earlier novel.

7. What can be used to describe about Harper Lee?

A. Influential but simple. B. Ill-tempered but productive.
