Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2019·成都市第二次诊断性检测)Author Walter Dean Myers died at the age of 76 after a brief illness.Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards.

The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children, and for writing books for young people that covered different subjects.“Myers has written about all those subjects with deep understanding and a hard-won, qualified sense of hope，” said Leonard S．Marcus in 2008.

He was born in 1937 and was adopted by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died while giving birth to his younger sister.They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age.Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape.

He began writing at an early age.He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him.“It's what you do，” she said.

He dropped out of high school at 17 and joined the army.After finishing his service, he entered a dark period in his life.Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time.

In an essay published in The New York Times earlier this year, Myers described how a short story by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the course of his life.“I didn't love the story, but I was lifted by it，” he wrote，“for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew.By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwin's story also humanized me.The story gave me a permission that I didn't know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map.”

“I write books or the troubled boy I once was，” he wrote, “and for the boy who lives within me still.”

3．What does the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Productive. B．Unfortunate. C．Conservative. D．Humorous.

A [词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards”可知，Walter Dean Myers 写了100多本儿童和年轻人读物，并获得了许多最高奖项。由此可推知，他是一位多产的作家。productive意为“多产的”，故A项正确。B项意为“不幸的”，C项意为“守旧的”，D项意为“幽默的”，都与语境不符。]
