  Harriet Beecher Stowe had put her heart into her antislavery book, “Uncle Tom's Cabin”. But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big 1 . The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to share the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough 2 for her to buy a new silk dress.

  But when the 3 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they were sold out in two days. In a year 300,000 copies were sold in 4 and 150,000 in England. For a while it was sold in 5 quantities than any other book in the world, 6 the Bible.

  Within six months after it came out, a play was made 7 the book which ran 350 performances in New York and 8 America's most popular play for 80 years.

  It might appear that “Uncle Tom' Cabin” was 9 popular, 10 this was certainly not true. Many people during those Pre-Civil War days--particularly defenders of the slavery system, considered it as 11 propaganda(宣传)and poorly written drama.

  Harriet did have strong religious views 12 slavery, and she tried to make people 13 slavery was wrong, 14 perhaps the book could be thought propaganda. But if so, it was true propaganda, because it exactly 15 the wrongdoing of slavery.

  Though she was born in Connecticut in 1832, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when her father accepted the office of president of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary(神学院). Ohio was a 16 state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in 17 . She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college. In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe 18 her book.

  Its vast influence(影响)strengthened the anti-slavery movement and 19 defenders of the slavery system. Today some historians think that it 20 to bring on the American Civil War.

答案:A;C;D;A;C;A;A;B;B;D;D;C;D;C;A;B;C;D;B;A
解析:

(1) 根据上文意思,开始,出版并不认为这本书会成功。

(2) 句中的意思是“她并没有期望靠这本书挣很多的钱。

(3) 这里表示“第一批出版的5,000册”。

(4) 文中的主人公是美国人,因此,书应该在美国发行。

(5) 根据空后的“that”可知,此处应用比较级。

(6) 本句意思是:《汤姆叔叔的小屋》一书的销量比除了《圣经》以外的任何书都高。因此,A项正确。

(7) from表示“出自……地方”。

(8) remainkeep都有“处于……状态”的意思,但remain和过去有联系,“从过去到现在一直……”;keep和过去没有联系。根据句中的for 80 years, B项正确。

(9) universally副词,“普遍地”。ACD项与本文意思不符。因此,B项正确。

(10) 根据后面句子的意思,这里应用转折词,表示前后意思的转折,故D项正确。

(11) 根据上文意思,那些奴隶制度的捍卫者是反对这本书的,故D项正确。

(12)against表示“反对”,主人公的态度是反对奴隶制度。

(13) realize表示“意识到,认识到”,其他几项的意思不符。

(14) 承上启下,表示因果关系。

(15) describe表示“描写,描述”,explain表示“解释”,说明事实真相就用describe。因此,A项正确。

(16) 根据句的意思,Ohio是一个没有实行奴隶制度的地方。

(17) in action固定搭配,意为“在行动,在进行,在实行”,ABD项意思与本文不符。故C正确。

(18) 根据上文“But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they were sold out in two days,AB项已淘汰,C项意思不符,D项正确。

(19) 根据前一句的意思,这本书促进了反奴隶制度动动的发展,所以B项正确。

(20) 根据历史事实判断。这本书只是起了一定的推动作用,并不是引起美国国内战争的导火线。因此,A项正确。

  It was early   7   and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n)  8   of the river.And the table was   9   set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins.

  A delicious meal   10   in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time.As it   11  , this will probably never be forgotten.

  As the shadows lengthened, the   12   rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”

  Hand in hand, we walked by the stores.People smiled and nodded.“I   13   realized there were so many   14   people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed.

  “Probably your new straw hat or your   15  ,”she said.

  After receiving many smiles, we   16   ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the   17  .It was then that I saw the   18   for all the smiles.

  Caught in the fly of my trousers and   19   down for all to see was a bright red   20   from the restaurant!
