Question

【題目】 Inspiration can be a strange thing. You never know when it might hit. And sometimes, it can come from the most unexpected places.

I recently read about an author(作家) named Okorafor. When she was in college, she had a serious spine disorder(脊椎病). Okorafor was told that a simple operation(手術(shù)) could fix it.

But when she woke up from her operation, she found that she couldn't move her legs and was in great pain.

Okorafor got well later. But before she did, she saw strange things in her hospital room.

She imagined her pain as a beast(野獸)that hunted her from the shadows. But she also imagined a woman-a woman who could fly, in fact. This magical woman inspired her and helped her forget her pain. "I felt greater than myself. I felt myself become greater," she wrote in her book Broken Places & Outer Spaces: Finding Creativity in the Unexpected.

We never know where we might find the inspiration to create. As a musician, most of my inspiration comes from other people's music. But I also find ideas in other places. Books, movies and even just moments in everyday life can lead to new creations.

For example, I recently watched the film Blade Runner. I've seen it plenty of times before; it's one of my favorite movies. But this time, for some reason, I saw it differently. I decided to make music that could create the same feeling as the film. It's not done yet, but the movie's setting and characters impacted the music I'm working on now heavily.

Anything can inspire us. You just have to be ready to catch inspiration when it hits.

【解析】

文章大意：文章講述了靈感可能會(huì)在最意想不到的地方出現(xiàn)，作者通過(guò)自身的例子說(shuō)明了這一點(diǎn)，旨在啟迪人們：隨時(shí)做好準(zhǔn)備迎接靈感的到來(lái)。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)But when she woke up from her operation, she found that she couldn't move her legs and was in great pain. 但當(dāng)她醒來(lái)。手術(shù)結(jié)束后，她發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的腿不能動(dòng)了，疼痛難忍�？芍�手術(shù)后她不能走路，非常痛苦，故答案選C。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)But this time, for some reason, I saw it differently. I decided to make music that could create the same feeling as the film. 但這一次，出于某種原因，我的看法有所不同。我決定創(chuàng)作能產(chǎn)生和電影一樣感覺(jué)的音樂(lè)�？芍�，看完《銀翼殺手》后，這位作家受到了創(chuàng)作新音樂(lè)的啟發(fā)，故答案選B。

【3】

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文But this time, for some reason, I saw it differently. I decided to make music that could create the same feeling as the film. 但這一次，出于某種原因，我的看法有所不同。我決定創(chuàng)作能產(chǎn)生和電影一樣感覺(jué)的音樂(lè)。結(jié)合本句It's not done yet, but the movie's setting and characters impacted the music I'm working on now heavily. 雖然還沒(méi)有完成，但電影的設(shè)置和角色……對(duì)我現(xiàn)在正在創(chuàng)作的音樂(lè)�？芍獞�(yīng)該是電影的設(shè)置和角色對(duì)現(xiàn)在正在創(chuàng)作的音樂(lè)影響很大，故答案選A。

理解判斷題。根據(jù)Okorafor got well later. But before she did, she saw strange things in her hospital room. 后來(lái)Okorafor恢復(fù)了健康。但在那之前，她在病房里看到了一些奇怪的東西�？芍�A選項(xiàng)不符合文意，錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)she wrote in her book Broken Places & Outer Spaces: Finding Creativity in the Unexpected.可知，《在意外中尋找創(chuàng)造力》這本書是Okorafor寫的，但文中并沒(méi)有說(shuō)Okorafor是有魔法力的，所以B選項(xiàng)不符合文意，錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)As a musician, most of my inspiration comes from other people's music. 作為一個(gè)音樂(lè)家，我的靈感大多來(lái)自于別人的音樂(lè)。以及Books, movies and even just moments in everyday life can lead to new creations.書籍、電影，甚至是日常生活中的某個(gè)時(shí)刻，都可以帶來(lái)新的創(chuàng)意�？芍�作者的靈感來(lái)自于他人的音樂(lè)、書籍、電影和日常生活中的瞬間。所以C選項(xiàng)符合文意，正確。故答案選C。

主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文作者通過(guò)自身的例子說(shuō)明靈感可能會(huì)在最意想不到的地方出現(xiàn)，所以我們要隨時(shí)做好準(zhǔn)備迎接靈感的到來(lái)。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，可知C選項(xiàng)“靈感是如何從意想不到的地方來(lái)的”符合題意，故答案選C。
