On a recent visit to her family home in Atlanta，Stella came across some papers from her tenth-grade English class.Looking at her essays and the notes，Stella was struck by how the work she did in that class informed her work now as an editor.Her teacher，Mr.Newman，always encouraged his students to dig deeper.Stella learned that the best way to understand literature is by asking，"What is this work trying to accomplish？"Now，when she sits down to edit a manuscript（手稿），that's one of two guiding questions Stella asks herself，followed by，"How can I help the author fully realize that vision？" Those questions were at the top of Stella's mind when Freewater by Amina landed on her desk.As Stella made editorial suggestions，she was mindful of the balancing act involved in writing about a topic as painful as slavery and doing so through the eyes of a child.Stella kept a kid reader in mind—someone who might have learned only a part of this history.Stella and Amina went back and forth in phone calls，e-mails，editorial letters，and notes directly in the manuscript，until they agreed that Freewater was exactly where it needed to be. The novel hit bookshelves on February 1，2022，and nearly a year later was awarded the John Newbery Medal.Amin a became only the third Black woman to be awarded that medal in the award's one-hundred-and-one-year history，and Stella became the first Black editor to edit a Newbery-winning book. Stella's strategic approach to editing，personal warmth，and keen editorial insight have won her universal admiration from authors and colleagues，who also enjoy her sense of humor and infectious laugh.She is a powerful advocate for all the authors in her orbit，which recently came to include her mother，Wanda M.Morris，whose novel All Her Little Secrets has been widely acclaimed and even optioned for TV.（1）What's Stella's tenth-grade English teacher like？ ____ A.Humorous.B.Determined.C.Inspiring.D.Cautious.（2）What's Stella's major concern as an editor？ ____ A.The novelty of the manuscript.B.The writer's purpose of writing.C.The writer's understanding of literature.D.The practical significance of the work.（3）What's paragraph 2 mainly about？ ____ A.Why Amina created Freewater.B.Who Freewater is intended for.C.What message Freewater conveys.D.How Stella helped improve Freewater.（4）What does the underlined word "acclaimed" mean in paragraph 4？ ____ A.pplied.B.Adapted.C.Praised.D.Shared.

题目解答
答案
（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Her teacher，Mr.Newman，always encouraged his students to dig deeper.（她的老师纽曼先生总是鼓励他的学生深入挖掘。）可知Stella十年级的英语老师是一个鼓舞人的人。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第一段Stella learned that the best way to understand literature is by asking，"What is this work trying to accomplish？"（斯特拉认识到，理解文学的最好方法是问："这部作品想要实现什么？"）可知作为一名编辑，斯特拉最关心的是作者写作的目的。故选B。
（3）段落大意题。根据第二段Those questions were at the top of Stella's mind when Freewater by Amina landed on her desk.As Stella made editorial suggestions，she was mindful of the balancing act involved in writing about a topic as painful as slavery and doing so through the eyes of a child.Stella kept a kid reader in mind—someone who might have learned only a part of this history.Stella and Amina went back and forth in phone calls，e-mails，editorial letters，and notes directly in the manuscript，until they agreed that Freewater was exactly where it needed to be.（当阿米娜（Amina）的《自由水》（Freewater）出现在斯特拉的办公桌上时，她脑子里首先想到的就是这些问题。当斯特拉提出编辑建议时，她注意到要通过一个孩子的眼睛来写一个像奴隶制这样痛苦的话题。斯特拉心中有一个儿童读者——一个可能只了解了一部分历史的人。斯特拉和阿米娜通过电话、电子邮件、编辑信件，以及直接在手稿中做注释来来回回地交流，直到他们一致认为，弗里沃特正是它需要的地方。）可知第二段主要讲的是Stella如何帮助改善Freewater。故选D。
（4）词义猜测题。根据最后一段She is a powerful advocate for all the authors in her orbit，which recently came to include her mother，Wanda M.Morris，whose novel All Her Little Secrets has been widely acclaimed and even optioned for TV.（她是她圈子里所有作家的有力拥护者，最近包括她的母亲旺达•m•莫里斯（Wanda M.Morris），她的小说《她的小秘密》（all her Little Secrets）广受好评，甚至被选上了电视节目。）可知划线词意思是"广受好评，表扬"。A.Applied应用；B.Adapted适应；C.Praised表扬；D.Shared分享。故选C。
