文章大意：文章主要介紹了美國(guó)著名小說(shuō)家馬克吐溫的小說(shuō)《湯姆索婭歷險(xiǎn)記》和他的作品風(fēng)格。他從未停止過(guò)批判美國(guó)的社會(huì)和文化。他還強(qiáng)烈相信婦女在選舉中應(yīng)該擁有選舉權(quán)。

【1】句意：你發(fā)現(xiàn)他的作品比你想象的還要精彩。

根據(jù)所給空前面的“is more”可知，應(yīng)該填的是形容詞，由后文“than you could ever imagine”可知，應(yīng)該是精彩的，wonderful意為“精彩的”，故填wonderful。

【2】句意：這部小說(shuō)描寫(xiě)了一個(gè)名叫湯姆·索耶的小男孩在密西西比河沿岸的一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)上長(zhǎng)大。

根據(jù)所給空前面的“growing up in a small town”和后面的“the Mississippi River”可知，應(yīng)該是沿著，along意為“沿著”，故填along。

【3】句意：他和朋友們一起在河船上探索鄉(xiāng)村，愛(ài)上女孩，開(kāi)秘密俱樂(lè)部，尋寶。

根據(jù)所給空后面的“for treasure”可知，應(yīng)該是尋寶，search for意為“尋找”，由前文“starts secret clubs and”可知，應(yīng)該填的是動(dòng)詞的第三人稱單數(shù)形式，search的第三人稱單數(shù)形式是searches，故填searches。

【4】句意：更重要的是，通過(guò)湯姆·索耶的眼睛。

根據(jù)所給空后面的“the eyes of Tom Sawyer”可知，應(yīng)該是通過(guò)，through意為“通過(guò)”，故填through。

【5】句意：吐溫巧妙地取笑了美國(guó)的文化。

根據(jù)所給空后面的“makes fun of”可知，應(yīng)該填副詞修飾動(dòng)詞，由后文“For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to make fun of religion(宗教) and its old traditions”可知，應(yīng)該是巧妙地，cleverly意為“巧妙地”，故填cleverly。

【6】句意：吐溫的作品充滿了這些關(guān)于文化和政治的批評(píng)觀點(diǎn)。
