Mark Twain, who wrote the story we’re reading, traveled quite a lot, often because circumstances, usually financial circumstances forced him to. He was born in Florida Missouri in 1835 and moved to Hannibal Missouri with his family when he was about four years old. Most people think he was born in Hannibal. But that isn’t true. After his father died when he was about twelve, Twain worked in Hannibal for a while and then left so he could earn more money.
He worked for a while as a typesetter on various newspapers and then got a job as a river pilot on the Mississippi. Twain loved this job and many of his books show it. The river job didn’t last however, because of the outbreak of the civil war. Twain was in the army for just two weeks and then he and his whole company went west to get away from the war and the army. In Nevada and California Twain tried to find silver and gold without much luck but did succccd as a writer.
Once that happened, Twain traveled around the country giving lectures and earning enough money to go to Europe. Twain didn’t travel much during the last ten years of his life, and he didn’t publish much either. Somehow his travels inspired his writing. Like many other popular writers, Twain derived much of the materials for his writing from the wealth of his own personal experiences.
选项
A、His travels.
B、His short stories.
C、His wealth.
D、His family.
答案
A
解析
主旨题。解答该题可用排除法,文章提到了马克·吐温的写作,但未具体到他的短篇故事,至于他的财富和家庭则更少提及。英语中的 travel除了表示“(度假,休闲式的)旅游,观光”外,还指“(为其他目的的)行过(一段距离)”,本文即描述了马克·吐温为了谋生而到处游历,故选A。
