Answer 1

l.B根據(jù)句意不但在英國，而且在世界上其他國家非常有名。故選B。

2. C根據(jù)下文He was an actor.說明他喜歡表演。故選C。

3.D承接上文他喜歡表演，是個演員，說明"那就是他的書為什么好的原因。"故選D。

4. A根據(jù)上文,他的故事分部分刊登在雜志上， 那么人們就總想知道"下一部分"（the next part) 故選A。

5. B either"也"，位于句尾，但用于否定句；as well"也"，位于句尾；as well as"也"，位于句中，后接名詞或代詞；also"也"，位于系動詞之后，行為動詞之前。故選B。

6. D 根據(jù)前一句There were films and plays of them as well.可知，他的故事被制成電影和戲劇。Oliver Twist被制成音樂劇，那么Great Expectations我們可以判斷是一部電影。故選D。

7. A根據(jù)下文的連詞but表示轉(zhuǎn)折，可以判斷他討厭很小就出去工作。故選A。

8. C考査連詞的用法。as意為"像……一樣；當(dāng) ……時"；while意為"在……期間"；until意為"直到……為止";since意為"既然；自從"。根據(jù)句意"他繼續(xù)寫直到去世為止。"故選C。

9. C根據(jù)上文他一直寫書直到去世,說明他死的時候正在寫故事。故選C。

10. B依據(jù)前后句意可推斷我們不會知道故事是 如何結(jié)束的。故選B。
