Question

【題目】

It is believed that Huck Finn is based on（基于）a childhood friend of Mark Twain’s. In fact, Twain was not alone in basing a fictional character（虛構(gòu)的角色）on a real-life person.

Severus Snape / John Nettleship

Severus Snape is a skillful wizard（巫師）teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J.K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.

The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. “I know I am a strict teacher,” he said. “But I don’t think I am as bad as Snape!” On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.

Alice / Alice Liddell

Famously, Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.

Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down. And the rest is history.

Dill / Truman Capote

【解析】

短文介紹了一些小說(shuō)中所塑造的人物角色取材于現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的真實(shí)人物。例如《哈利波特》中的西弗勒斯·斯內(nèi)普是以J.K.羅琳的化學(xué)老師約翰·內(nèi)特利希普為原型而塑造的；劉易斯·卡羅爾的《愛(ài)麗絲夢(mèng)游仙境》是根據(jù)愛(ài)麗絲·利德?tīng)柛木幍�；在《殺死一只知更鳥(niǎo)》中迪爾這一人物是以哈珀·李童年朋友杜魯門·卡波特為原型而塑造的。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子Severus Snape is a skillful wizard（巫師）teaching magic in Harry Potter.可知，西弗勒斯·斯內(nèi)普是一位熟練的巫師，在《哈利波特》中教授魔法。根據(jù)文中句子The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. 可知，約翰·內(nèi)特利希普是羅琳的化學(xué)老師，因此兩個(gè)人的職業(yè)相同；根據(jù)文中句子Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.可知，約翰·內(nèi)特利希普以前留著長(zhǎng)發(fā)，有一間不整潔的實(shí)驗(yàn)室，這聽(tīng)上去像是《哈利波特》迷們所熟悉的。由此判斷兩個(gè)人的相貌相似。故答案選C。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“ill-tempered ”所在句子的從句“…that most of his students avoided making him mad.”大多數(shù)學(xué)生都避免讓他生氣。由此推斷約翰·內(nèi)特利希普的脾氣比較暴躁，故答案選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. 一天，十歲的愛(ài)麗絲讓卡羅爾給她講一個(gè)新故事�？�羅爾開(kāi)始創(chuàng)作他著名的愛(ài)麗絲故事，以及她從兔子洞里掉下來(lái)后發(fā)生的事情。由此可以看出愛(ài)麗絲·利德?tīng)柕囊�求讓卡羅爾決定創(chuàng)作《愛(ài)麗絲夢(mèng)游仙境》。故答案為A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)短文最后的句子Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? I’m a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived! 你讀過(guò)《殺死一只知更鳥(niǎo)》嗎？我是那個(gè)故事里的人物！故事發(fā)生在我們居住的小鎮(zhèn)上！由此推斷作為《殺死一只知更鳥(niǎo)》的角色，杜魯門·卡波特感到驕傲與自豪。答案為A。

【5】主旨大意題。短文介紹了一些小說(shuō)中所塑造的人物角色取材于現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的真實(shí)人物。故答案為C。
