高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

When he wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain turned to Hannibal. The relationship between Hannibal and Twain began in November 1839, when Twain’s father decided to leave the village in Florida and move east about 35 miles to the somewhat larger and more prosperous Hannibal, on the banks of the Mississippi River. Twain marked his fourth birthday about a week after the family settled there. He showed little promise of becoming a long-term resident. However, because his health was so poor that his parents probably feared he would not survive childhood.

During the family’s first few years in Hannibal, Twain was too young to understand fully the changes going on around him. About the time the family moved into their new home. Twain’s health improved a lot. Instead of having to lead a quiet indoor life, he could roam the streets of Hannibal. Climb the surrounding hills, explore the area’s caves and splash about in local swimming holes. He reveled in his newfound freedom, spending nearly all his free time playing outdoors with the other boys in town and soon becoming a leader.

Twain’s carefree days did not last long, on March 24, 1847, his father died. For the next six years, his brother Henry, and his sister Pamela lived with their mother in the family home. Twain began taking odd jobs after school to bring in extra money. Within a year of his father’s death, he quit school and became an apprentice (学徒) printer, and when his brother Orion bought the Hannibal Journal in 1851, Twain went to work for him as a printer and editorial assistant. The stories he wrote for Orion’s paper, his first publications, taught him that he much preferred writing to typesetting. Thus, when he decided to leave Hannibal in May 1853, he already had an idea of his future career.

A．Because he wanted to live in a larger and more prosperous city.

C．Because he wanted to wrote his novels there.

D．Because he wanted to become a long-term resident of Hannibal.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 has set new nationwide and global box-office records for ticket sales in its opening weekend. The final part of the Harry Potter series is creating the perfect storm of record-breaking box-office sales. Before this movie, The Dark Knight held the opening weekend record. The Dark Knight actually sold a few more tickets. But with 3D and IMAX ticketing as well as the passion of fans who have waited for a long time to see the ending of J.K. Rowling’s brilliant story, the final Harry Potter movie was going to be hugely successful, no mater what.

And as if film-makers were magically able to save the best for last, critics(评论家) completely agree that The Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is the best film of the entire series and there has been little negative(负面的) to say about the performances of the film’s stars. When they were 10 or 11 years old, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have grown up on the big screen. They grew in their character as the story was told through the years.

As the story draws to a close, the final Harry Potter film is set to break the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. And even though the film series is finally over, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter will live on in different forms of merchandising (附带产品), including major theme parks, action figures and almost certainly, various versions of the story.

A. was expected to be very successful in making money

C. The stars haven’t made a breakthrough

D. The stars did much better before.

A. Entertainment　　　 B. Education

C. Lifestyle　　　　 　 D. Kids

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Harry Poter movies come to an end at last.
