wonder;故选b项。10.b推理判断题。由空格下面的im definitely influenced by authors who have.authors who write about things that other people dont可推知,记者问影响christopher paolini创作的因素是什么,故选b项。11.c细节理解题。第三个问题后面的回答中的id say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in difficulty可知,他认为writing和editing同样难,故选c项。12.d推理判断题。由最后一段的before i wrote eragon,i spent an entire month plotting out the entire story,so i wasnt writing blindly可知,他写这本书是费了心思的,故选d项。由常识可知a项不对;b、c两项都是文章的直接信息,不需推断,故排除。【长难句子分析】it主语 s about谓语 a young boy宾语who went into a mysterious shop and bought a dragon定语从句 egg that ended up
