第l題,選A。聯(lián)系上下文,about three miles是對A “l(fā)eague”的解釋。 第2題,選D。從空后的but he describes an underwater ship very like a modem 3 (submarine)來看,在他描述一個水下潛艇的時候,水下船尚未發(fā)明。make/produce生產(chǎn),制造;discover 發(fā)現(xiàn);invent 發(fā)明,制造。 第3題,選D。聯(lián)系上下文可知,Jules Veme描寫的那只水下船正像現(xiàn)代的潛水艇。 第4題,選B。從空后的Captain Nemo我們得知,人們把水下船上的船長叫做Captain Nemo。name/call任命,稱為,如:Do you know a girl named/called Alice?(你認識一個叫Alice的女孩嗎?) 第5題,選C。從空后的and find many strange things得知此答案。 第6題,選C!霸凇撞俊盿t the bottom of…,在……頂部the top of... 第7題,選A。聯(lián)系上下文我們知道,這里并沒有因果或遞進關系。在這里作者用Perhaps表示不太有把握的推測,即或許你看過那部電影。 第8題,選D。從后文的but 9(often)the accuracy(準確)of his descriptions is very clever.我們可以得知,有時(sometimes)他的觀點是錯誤的。 第9題,選D。本空與第8空相對,but的轉(zhuǎn)折語氣表示全句為肯定態(tài)度。雖然有時候錯,但更多的時候(often)還是準確的。 第10題,選A?崭袂暗膆e指Jules Veme,因此用story-teller。 第11題,選C。他的人物經(jīng)常做一些令人吃驚的有時甚至是不可能的事情。空格前的characters指Jules Verne所創(chuàng)作的故事中的人物。 第12題,選B。根據(jù)空格前的搭配形式得出此答案。They seemed t0 be real people.雖然那些人物有時候是不可能的,但他們似乎卻總是和現(xiàn)實生活中的人相似。要注意seem的用法。It seems that.…It seems that it is going to rain.(好像要下雨)。sb.seems to do sth.:He seems to be ill.(他好像病了)。 第13題,選A?崭袂暗膖hey同樣指Jules Veme所創(chuàng)作的故事中的人物。 第14題,選A。in eighty daysS0天之內(nèi),從后文…around the world in eighty days.得此答案。 第15題,選B。all the way在這里指“環(huán)游世界的全程”。 第16題,選D?崭窈蟮膖han決定了此答案。Less than少于,不超過,因為說的是現(xiàn)在要環(huán)游地球是很方便的,時間也不會太長。 第17題,選C。從空格后的even on an elephant at one time!我們可以得知,作者在此講Mr. Fogg主仆二人使用多種方法環(huán)游世界。如果看過這本書的話就很容易答題了。 第18題,選A!叭绻阆胫繫r.

French novelist Jules Verne (1828—1905) is often called the father of science fiction. Although he was not a great traveler himself, his characters travelled to the moon (in From the Earth to the Moon), under the sea (in Twenty thousand leagues under the sea), into a volcano (in A journey to the centre of the earth), around the world (in Around the World in Eighty Days) and to many other places.

The couple married the next year.

In 1863 he published his novel Five Weeks in a balloon and the following year he published A Journey to the centre of the earth which made him famous. His books became so popular and earned him so much money that he was able to leave his job and work full time on his writing.
