【解析】
19岁的ChristopherPaolini一直喜欢历险故事,15岁时就构思了他的第一本书Eragon,该书出版后的销量超过了大部分HarryPotter系列图书,本文再现了一位记者对Christopher的采访。
(1)B 本题考查推理判断。
根据ChristopherPaolini对记者第一个问题的回答可知采访人询问的问题是“什么激发他创作了Eragon这部作品?
”。
故选B项。
(2)B 本题考查代词指代。
根据上下文内容可知that指代的是上句中提到的thesenseofaweandwonder。
(3)C 本题考查细节理解。
根据CP对记者第三个问题的回答"I'dsaythateditingandwritingareprettymuchequalindifficulty"可知本题的答案是C。
(4)D 本题考查细节理解。
选项A说明的是写作内容,B项说明的是创作作品的目的,C项说明的是写作之前的构思所花的时间,这三项都不能说明Paolini创作时的全身心投入,D项很显然符合题意。
