56. 【答案】D
【试题解析】细节题。本题考察细节，A项是对Tower Writer Square的错误理解。在第一行中只是提及这个活动是有comedy and TV writer组织的，并不是说这个活动就是为了培养comedy and TV writer。B项只是这个活动的一个附加部分。C项不是这个活动目的。根据第一则广告第二段最后一句to support the development of young writers。说明这个活动的目的是促进青年作家的发展。故D正确。
57. 【答案】A
【试题解析】细节题。根据第一则广告第三段2,3行please send a sample piece of your writing。可知要想参加这个活动，需要先提供自己的一个作品。BCD三项都不是必须的条件。故A正确。
58. 【答案】B
【试题解析】细节题。根据第一则广告中Deadline for applicantions:8 September 2014可知申请时间 是2014年9月8日。可知申请者要申请不要晚于9月8日。故B正确。
59. 【答案】B
【试题解析】细节题。根据第二则广告中Most importantly , build confidence and have fun while writing。可知作者认为对于刚刚开始的人来说，最重要的是要有信心和开心。

【长难句解析】
1. Led by comedy and TV writer, Marian Kilpatrick, Towner Writer Squad will meet once a month at the contemporary art museum for 11 months, starting 12 October, 2014.
【翻译】由戏剧和电视剧作家Marian Kilpatrick组织的Towner Writer Squad将会从2014年10月12开始，在当代艺术中心一个月进行一次活动，并将持续11个月。
【分析】本句集中考察了分词作状语的用法，当动词与句子主语构成逻辑上的被动关系就使用过去分词做状语，如Led by comedy and TV writer, Marian Kilpatrick；如果两者构成主动关系，就使用现在分词做状语，如starting 12 October, 2014.。
2. Study and write at your own pace 一 you do not have to rush 一 as you have a year to go through the project.
【翻译】按照你自己的节奏学习和写作，你不必着急，因为你有一年的时间来完成这个计划。
【分析】本句中第一句Study and write at your own pace是一个祈使句，后面的破折号表示补充说明前面一句的内容，as引导的是一个原因状语从句。
