[解析]
(1)A.细节理解题。根据第二段首句Trained as a librarian,Cleary didn't start writing books until her early 30s,when she wrote Henry Huggins,published in 1950.(作为一名图书管理员,Cleary直到30岁出头才开始写书,在1950年出版了《Henry Huggins》。)可知,Cleary直到30岁出头才开始写书,是一位起步较晚的作家。故选A。
(2)D.推理判断题。根据第三段Ramona,perhaps her best﹣known character,first appeared in Henry Huggins with only a brief mention. "All the children appeared to be only children,so I threw in a little sister and she didn't go away.She kept appearing in other books, " Cleary said. (Ramona,也许是她最著名的角色,第一次出现在《Henry Huggins》中,只有简短的提及。"所有的孩子似乎都是独生子女,所以我加了一个小妹妹,她没有走。她一直出现在其他书中," Cleary说。)可推断,Ramona这个角色一直出现在其他书中,说明她扮演着越来越重要的角色。故选D。
(3)B.推理判断题。根据第四段中的"I was a well﹣behaved little girl,not that I wanted to be, " she said. "At the age of Ramona,in those days,children played outside.We played hopscotch(跳房子)and jump rope and I loved them and always had wounded knees. "(她说:"我是一个举止得体的小女孩,但我并不想这样。在雷蒙娜那个年纪,孩子们在外面玩耍。我们一起玩跳房子和跳绳,我很喜欢这些游戏,但我的膝盖总是受伤。")可推断,Cleary小时候是一个很活跃的孩子。结合选项A.Strange奇怪的;B.Active.活跃的;C.Lonely孤独的;D.Quiet安静的。故选B。
(4)C.细节理解题。根据第五段中的Although she put away her pen,Cleary re﹣released three of her most treasured books with three famous fans writing fore﹣ words for the new editions.(虽然Cleary收起了笔,但她还是重新发行了她最珍爱的三本书,三位著名的书迷为新版本写了前言。)可知,在她停止写作之后,她重新发行了最珍爱的三本书,并请三位著名的书迷为新版本的书写了前言,也就是在她的书中增加了粉丝的话。故选C。
