问题     Harlan Coben believes that if you’re a writer, you’ll find the time; and that if you can’t find the time, then writing isn’t a priority and you’re not a writer. For him, writing is a【C1】________job—a job like any other. He has【C2】________it with plumbing, pointing out that a plumber doesn’t wake up and say that he can’t work with pipes today.
    【C3】________, like most writers these days, you’re holding down a job to pay the bills, it’s not【C4】________to find the time to write. But it’s not impossible. It requires determination and single-mindedness.【C5】________that most bestselling authors began writing when they were doing other things to earn a living. And today, even writers who are fairly【C6】________often have to do other work to【C7】________their writing income.
    As Harlan Coben has suggested, it’s a【C8】________of priorities. To make writing a priority, you’ll have to 【C9】________some of your day-to-day activities and some things you really enjoy. Depending on your【C10】________ and your lifestyle, that might mean spending less time watching television or listening to music, though some people can write【C11】________they listen to music. You might have to【C12】________the amount of exercise or sport you do. You’ll have to make social media an【C13】________activity rather than a daily, time-consuming 【C14】________. There’ll probably have to be less socialising with your friends and less time with your family. It’s a【C15】________learning curve, and it won’t always make you popular.
    There’s just one thing you should try to keep at least some time for,【C16】________your writing—and that’s reading. Any writer needs to read as much and as widely as they can; it’s the one【C17】________supporter— something you can’t do without.
    Time is finite. The older you get, the【C18】________it seems to go. We need to use it as carefully and as 【C19】________as we can. That means prioritising our activities so that we spend most time on the things we really want to do. If you’re a writer, that means—【C20】________—writing.
【C11】
选项 A、until
B、because
C、while
D、before
答案C
解析 本题考查上下文逻辑关系。考生通过把握本填空所衔接的前后两个动作之间的内在逻辑关系来确定答案。本填空之前的句子信息是some people can write，之后的句子信息是they listen to music，同时本填空前有转折标志词though，而though之前的原文信息都是在说明要想从事写作，就要减少看电视或听音乐的时间，综合这些信息很容易判定本填空前后的两个动作是同时发生的，即“尽管有些人可以一边听音乐一边写作”。四个选项中唯一能够表达两者同时发生的时间逻辑关系的选项是C项while(当……的时候；与……同时)，因此本题答案为选项C。
