Q1 elusive 逃避的；难捉摸的

常错题：

2 间接细节题，找到原文Line6-8 trying to prove。常错C，long vexed astronomers没有证据。elusive也是推不出这一层信息的。

8 间接细节题，A里的creative 和 illogical原文定位处都找不到对应。B里的aptitude就是能力的意思，life challenges也没有认为的那么大。

背景拓展：

Isabel Allende (American Spanish: [isaˈβel aˈʝende] ; born August 2, 1942) is a Chilean writer. Allende, whose works sometimes contain aspects of the genre magical realism, is known for novels such as The House of the Spirits (La casa de los espíritus, 1982) and City of the Beasts (La ciudad de las bestias, 2002), which have been commercially successful. Allende has been called "the world's most widely read Spanish-language author." In 2004, Allende was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and in 2010, she received Chile's National Literature Prize. President Barack Obama awarded her the 2014 Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Allende's novels are often based upon her personal experience and historical events and pay homage to the lives of women, while weaving together elements of myth and realism. She has lectured and toured many U.S. colleges to teach literature. Fluent in English as a second language, Allende was granted United States citizenship in 1993, having lived in California since 1989, first with her U.S. husband (from whom she is now separated).
