Many professions are associated with a particular stereotype. The classic (1)_____ of a writer, for example, is (2)_____ a slightly crazy-looking person, (3)_____ in an attic, writing away furiously for days (4)_____ end. Naturally, he has his favorite pen and note-paper, or a beat-up typewriter, (5)_____ which he could not produce a readable word.
Nowadays, we know that such images bear little (6)_____ to reality. But are they completely (7)_____? In the case of at least one writer, it would seem not. Dame Muriel Spark, who (8)_____ 80 in February, in many ways resembles this stereotypical "writer". She is certainly not (9)_____, and she doesn’t work in an attic. But she is rather particular (10)_____ the tools of her trade.
She insists on writing with a (11)_____ type of pen in a certain type of notebook, which she buys from a certain stationer in Edinburgh called James Thin. In fact, so (12)_____ is she that, if someone uses one of her pens by (13)_____, she immediately throws it away. And she claims she (14)_____ enormous difficulty writing in any notebook other than (15)_____ sold by James Thin. This could soon be a (16)_____, as the shop no longer stocks them, (17)_____ Dame Muriel’s supply of 72-page spiral bound is nearly (18)_____.
As well as her "obsession" about writing materials, Muriel Spark (19)_____ one other characteristic with the stereotypical "writer": her work is the most (20)_____ thing in her life. It has stopped her from marrying; cost her old friends and made her new ones, and driven her from London to New York to Rome. Today she lives in the Italian province of Tuscany with a friend.
选项
A、aged
B、grew
C、turned
D、entered
答案
C
解析
turn后面可接数字,表示(某人)进入某个年龄,放在这里符合文意。age后面也可接数字表示年龄,但必须用于被动语态。此文中是主动语态,故不正确。grew表示年龄时,一般不接数字,可用grow to (be)…years old。enter后面也不能直接跟数字,在表示年龄时,后面一般接年龄段,比如enter his eighties。
