2022考研英语二完形填空原文
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 __1__ job- a job like any other. He has __2__ it with plumbing, pointing out that a plumber doesn't wake up and say that he can't work with pipes today. __3__ like most writers these days, you're holding down a job to pay the bills, it's not __4__ to find the time to write. But it's not impossible. It requires determination and single-mindedness. __5__ that most bestselling authors began writing when they were doing other things to earn a living. And today, even writers who are fairly __6__ often have to do other work to __7__ their writing income. As Harlan Coben has suggested, it's a __8__ of priorities. To make writing a priority, you'll have to __9__ some of your day-to-day activities and some things you really enjoy. Depending on your __10__ and your lifestyle, that might mean spending less time watching television or listening to music, though some people can write __11__ they listen to music. You might have to __12__ the amount of exercise or sport you do. You'll have to make social media an __13__ activity rather than a daily, time-consuming __14__. There'll probably have to be less socialising with your friends and less time with your family. It's a __15__ learning curve and it w on't always make you popular. There's just one thing you should try to keep at least some time for, __16__ your writing—and that's reading. Any writer needs to read as much and as widely as they can; it's the one __17__ supporter- something you can't do without. Time is finite. The older you get, the __18__ it seems to go. We need to use it as carefully and as __19__ 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 - __20__ writing.

1第 1 题
答案B
解析原文说 writing is a __ job—a job like any other，强调写作与普通工作无异。normal 表示“平常的、普通的”，与 like any other 呼应。difficult、steady、pleasant 分别侧重难度、稳定、愉快，均未体现“跟别的工作一样”这一核心。
-
2第 2 题
答案B
解析he has __ it with plumbing，后文指出水管工不会说今天没法干活，是把写作与管道工相比。compared 构成 compare A with B。combined 为合并，confused 为混淆，confronted 为面对，均不合比喻关系。
-
3第 3 题
答案A
解析空后是 you’re holding down a job… it’s not easy… 构成条件：若还要打工养家，挤时间就不容易。If 表条件。Though 表让步，Once 表一旦，Unless 表除非，逻辑均不符。
-
4第 4 题
答案D
解析前文讲打工付账单，后接 But it’s not impossible，说明挤时间“不容易但不不可能”。easy 符合。enough、strange、wrong 无法与 not impossible 形成转折对比。
-
5第 5 题
答案C
解析空后 that most bestselling authors began writing when they were doing other things，是提醒读者记住这一事实。Remember 贴切。Accept、Explain、Suppose 分别为接受、解释、假定，语气与功能不符。
-
6第 6 题
答案A
解析even writers who are fairly __ often have to do other work，指相当有名的作家仍需兼职。well-known 正确。well-advised、well-informed、well-chosen 分别指明智、博闻、精选，与收入语境无关。
-
7第 7 题
答案C
解析do other work to __ their writing income，兼职是为补贴写作收入。supplement 为补充。donate 捐赠，generate 产生，calculate 计算，均不能准确表达“贴补”。
-
8第 8 题
答案C
解析As Harlan Coben has suggested, it’s a __ of priorities，呼应开篇：写不写取决于优先次序。question of priorities 为固定说法。cause、purpose、condition 搭配与语义皆差。
-
9第 9 题
答案B
解析To make writing a priority, you’ll have to __ some of your day-to-day activities，把写作放首位就要牺牲日常活动。sacrifice 正确。highlight、continue、explore 无“放弃”义。
-
10第 10 题
答案B
解析Depending on your __ and your lifestyle，后文举例少看电视、少听音乐，取决于兴趣与生活方式。interests 合适。relations、memories、skills 与减娱乐时间无关。
-
11第 11 题
答案C
解析some people can write __ they listen to music，边听音乐边写。while 表同时。until、because、before 分别表直到、因为、在…之前，不合。
-
12第 12 题
答案D
解析You might have to __ the amount of exercise，为写作挤时间须减少运动量。cut down on 减少。put up with 忍受，make up for 弥补，hang on to 紧握，均错。
-
13第 13 题
答案B
解析make social media an __ activity rather than a daily…，要把社交媒体从每日改为偶尔。occasional 正确。intelligent、intensive、emotional 不能与 daily 相对。
-
14第 14 题
答案A
解析rather than a daily, time-consuming __，社交媒体本是耗时的日常习惯。habit 贴切。test、decision、plan 无法体现“天天耗时的行为”。
-
15第 15 题
答案A
解析It’s a __ learning curve and it won’t always make you popular，牺牲社交、不被理解，过程艰难。tough 正确。gentle、rapid、funny 与“不受欢迎”不匹配。
-
16第 16 题
答案D
解析keep at least some time for, __ your writing—and that’s reading，阅读是写作之外仍须保留的。in addition to 除…之外。in place of 代替，in charge of 负责，in response to 回应，皆误。
-
17第 17 题
答案A
解析it’s the one __ supporter—something you can’t do without，阅读是不可或缺的支撑。indispensable 与 can’t do without 同义。innovative、invisible、instant 无此义。
-
18第 18 题
答案D
解析The older you get, the __ it seems to go，年纪越大时间过得越快。quicker 符合常识。duller、harder、quieter 不能修饰时间流逝。
-
19第 19 题
答案C
解析use it as carefully and as __ as we can，时间有限，须谨慎且高效地用。productively 高产地。peacefully、generously、gratefully 与“优先把时间花在真正想做的事上”不符。
-
20第 20 题
答案D
解析If you’re a writer, that means — __ writing，作为写作者，最要紧的就是写作。above all 尤其、最重要的是。at most 至多，in turn 依次，on average 平均，均削弱强调。
