Ⅴ. 短文填空
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容及所給首字母提示寫出所缺單詞,使短文通順。
The story and the character alone cannot make a novel yet. To make a novel, a plot (情節(jié)) should be designed first, even (1)
before
anything else is considered.
Let's take a look at this (2)
example
provided by E. M. Forster. And it will surely help to tell the (3)
difference
between "story" and "plot". "The king died and then the queen died" is not a plot, (4)
but
a story. If we make it "The king died and then the queen died of sadness", we have a plot. The expression "of sadness" shows how we (5)
understand
an event and its relationship with other events. It also shows how we make events (6)
happen
according to our thoughts.
Different from the (7)
real
world, the world of fiction is created by the writer. The very word "plot" often covers the (8)
writer's
own thoughts and ideas. That is to say, the purpose of creating a plot is to make readers clear about how each event is (9)
connected
and how the writer thinks. A plot is also called a storyline. If a writer wants to create a traditional plot, the most (10)
important
is that it should be a complete and unified(統(tǒng)一的) action, which is something with a beginning, a middle and an end.
