本文简要介绍了《哈利波特》作者J.K.罗琳的家庭情况、怎样和何时对故事产生兴趣的以及《哈利波特》系列丛书取得成功的原因和过程。
【1】句意:J.K罗琳是《哈利波特》的作者,是世界上最优秀的销售者之一。A项为“好的”,是原级形式;B项为good的比较级;C、D项为good的最高级;根据语境,本句应使用“one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”的用法,意为“最…的之一”。由于形容词最高级前的定冠词the不可省略,故选D项。
【2】句意:两个女孩都喜欢听他们爸爸的枕边故事。A项意为“听”,是不及物动词,加宾语是需要加介词to;B项意为“说”,通常指说某种语言;C项为listen的现在分词形式;D项为speak的现在分词形式。本题考查like的动词短语,like to do和like doing都可以表示喜欢做某事,前者表示短暂性,后者表示习惯性。依据like的短语,可知A、B项错误,根据语境,应是听爸爸的枕边故事,而不是说,故选C项。
【3】句意:罗琳在六岁时写出了她的第一篇故事。本题考查固定短语at the age of…意为“在几岁时”,故选B项。
【4】句意:在1992年,罗琳开始为年轻读者们写第一本《哈利波特》。A项为“写”的动词原形;B为过去式;C为不定式形式;D为过去分词形式。本题考查begin的动词短语:begin to do和begin doing,两者都表示开始做某事,前者强调事情未做,后者强调正在做,根据短语要求,只能选C。
【5】句意:在1992年,罗琳开始为年轻读者们写第一本《哈利波特》。A作家;B司机;C歌手;D读者。本句提到Harry Potter book说明《哈利波特》是书籍,故本空选D。
【6】句意:现在《哈利波特》系列受到各个年龄段人的欢迎,大约有六千万本书在大约200个国家里被卖掉。A为good的最高级,意为“最好的”;B“受欢迎的”;C“高兴地”;D“忙碌的”。本题考查固定短语be popular with..意为“受…的欢迎”,根据语境,可判断选B。
【7】句意:现在《哈利波特》系列受到各个年龄段人的欢迎,大约有六千万本书在大约200个国家里被卖掉。选项中million意为“百万”,其有两种用法:(1)用在基数词后,但million不可以加s,如500万应说成:five million;(2)构成millions of固定短语,意为“数以百万计的”,million必须加s,且短语后的名词应为复数形式。本空前已出现基数词sixty,本题故选A项。
【8】句意:那就是为什么《哈利波特》系列会如此受欢迎。前文提到哈利是一个普通的男孩:有礼貌、友善、勇敢和睿智,当孩子们读关于哈利的故事时,他们会想象成为像哈利一样的人。A“什么时候”;B“哪里”;C“为什么”;D“什么”。根据前文语境,本题故用why引导表语从句,故选C。
【9】句意:J.K.罗琳很为成功而高兴。A“伤心的”;B“焦虑的”;C“不开心的”;D“开心的”根据后文Now she's really enjoying life.她很享受生活,可知她一定是因为取得了成功而开心,故选D项。补充:be happy with为固定短语,意为“因…而开心”。
【10】句意:她说她会继续写孩子们的书。A为write“写”的原形形式;B项为过去式;C项为现在分词形式;D项为不定式形式。go on doing sth.和go on to do都表示继续做某事,前者强调“继续不停地做某事或间断后继续做原来没有做完的事”,后者强调“接着做另一件事”,即接下去做与原来不同的一件事。根据本题语境,只能选C。
