本文记叙了法国著名科幻小说家Jules Veme和他的《海底两万里》、《八十天环游地球》。在文章中提到了潜水艇和他的设想以及对潜水艇的描述。
第l题,选A。联系上下文,about three miles是对A “league”的解释。 第2题,选D。从空后的but he describes an underwater ship very like a modem 3 (submarine)来看,在他描述一个水下潜艇的时候,水下船尚未发明。make/produce生产,制造;discover 发现;invent 发明,制造。 第3题,选D。联系上下文可知,Jules Veme描写的那只水下船正像现代的潜水艇。 第4题,选B。从空后的Captain Nemo我们得知,人们把水下船上的船长叫做Captain Nemo。name/call任命,称为,如:Do you know a girl named/called Alice?(你认识一个叫Alice的女孩吗?) 第5题,选C。从空后的and find many strange things得知此答案。 第6题,选C。“在……底部”at the bottom of…,在……顶部the top of... 第7题,选A。联系上下文我们知道,这里并没有因果或递进关系。在这里作者用Perhaps表示不太有把握的推测,即或许你看过那部电影。 第8题,选D。从后文的but 9(often)the accuracy(准确)of his descriptions is very clever.我们可以得知,有时(sometimes)他的观点是错误的。 第9题,选D。本空与第8空相对,but的转折语气表示全句为肯定态度。虽然有时候错,但更多的时候(often)还是准确的。 第10题,选A。空格前的he指Jules Veme,因此用story-teller。 第11题,选C。他的人物经常做一些令人吃惊的有时甚至是不可能的事情。空格前的characters指Jules Verne所创作的故事中的人物。 第12题,选B。根据空格前的搭配形式得出此答案。They seemed t0 be real people.虽然那些人物有时候是不可能的,但他们似乎却总是和现实生活中的人相似。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题,选A。空格前的they同样指Jules Veme所创作的故事中的人物。 第14题,选A。in eighty daysS0天之内,从后文…around the world in eighty days.得此答案。 第15题,选B。all the way在这里指“环游世界的全程”。 第16题,选D。空格后的than决定了此答案。Less than少于,不超过,因为说的是现在要环游地球是很方便的,时间也不会太长。 第17题,选C。从空格后的even on an elephant at one time!我们可以得知,作者在此讲Mr. Fogg主仆二人使用多种方法环游世界。如果看过这本书的话就很容易答题了。 第18题,选A。“如果你想知道Mr. Fogg打赌输赢,你就该读读这本书。span>”should在这里表示作者的看法:应该做……。 第19题,选A。从空格后的which you Can easily read得此答案。simple English简易英语。 第20题,选A。这本书同样(too)也被拍成了电影。

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.
Jules Verne was born in the French city of Nantes in 1828. When he was a boy he ran away from home to work on a ship. However, his father soon found him and brought him home. After that he decided that any future travel he did would be in books. In 1847 his father sent Jules to Paris to study to be a lawyer. Even though he was busy writing, Verne passed his exams in 1849 with high marks.
When Jules told his father he did not want to be a lawyer, his father was very angry. He stopped sending his son any money, so Jules had to earn a living by his writing. Over the next few years he wrote many stories and plays, which brought him only a little money. Then, in 1856, he met Honorine de Viane, a rich, young widow with two children. The couple married the next year.
After his marriage, Verne worked as a businessman in Paris. However, he was not very successful at his job and spent most of his time writing books and doing research for the next one. 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.
