答案：(A) cover
cover 在此是「採訪報導」：一九二○年代他被派往歐洲擔任特派記者，報導希臘革命等事件；approve（批准）、predict（預測）、escape（逃離）語意都不合。
答對率 35%。
cover 你大概只記得「覆蓋」（cover the table）或「涵蓋」（The book covers three topics.）。在新聞語境裡它有一個固定用法：cover ＝ 採訪、報導某事件：She covered the war in Ukraine for the BBC.（她為 BBC 採訪烏克蘭戰事）。
as a newspaper correspondent（擔任報社特派記者）——記者被派到歐洲，要做的當然是「採訪報導」。前一句 Hemingway started his career as a journalist at 17.（海明威十七歲就以記者身分出道）也在鋪陳同一條線。「空格前後若出現職業或身分，先想那個身分典型會做什麼動作。」
cover an event／a story（採訪報導）、a correspondent（特派記者）、coverage（報導）、cover the cost（支付費用）。

Hemingway started his career as a journalist at 17. In the 1920s, he was sent to Europe as a newspaper correspondent to 12 such events as the Greek Revolution. During this period, he produced his early important works, including The Sun Also Rises. Among his later works, the most outstanding is The Old Man and the Sea (1952), which became perhaps his most famous book, finally winning him the Pulitzer Prize he had long been 13 .
Hemingway liked to portray soldiers, hunters, bullfighters—tough, at times primitive people whose courage and honesty are set against the brutal ways of modern society, and who in this 14 lose hope and faith. His straightforward prose is particularly effective in his short stories, some of 15 are collected in Men Without Women (1927). In 1954, Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He died in Idaho in 1961.
