单元综合检测(四) 第一部分　阅读 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Alex Scheffler is an award-winning illustrator(插图画家)，best known for his work on children's books．Here he talks about books that changed his life． Petzi auf der Robinson Insel by Carla Hansen，illustrated by Vilh Hansen This is one of a series of books that I loved as a child growing up in Hamburg．I seem to remember getting them sometimes after unpleasant visits to the dentist!

I think he was probably the strongest influence on my own work as an illustrator． Cats，Dogs，Men，Women，Ninnies & Clowns: The Lost Art of William Steig by Jeanne Steig When I discovered the work of William Steig，I was already working as an illustrator．He worked as a cartoonist for The New Yorker all his life and came to writing and illustrating children's books when he was in his sixties．I love his picture books：Solomon the Rusty Nail，Sylvester and the Magic Pebble，Gorky Rises，Brave Irene — more dressed animals! This book，however，is slightly different as it was published after his death and contains about 400 unpublished drawings．I was very happy when I discovered it in a second-hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road． 1．Which book brought comfort to Alex Scheffler in his childhood?
