What do a teacher, a journalist, an artist, a pilot and a mathematics professor have in common? They all became famous British children’s writers.
Enid Blyton
The teacher was Enid Blyton and she started writing in her spare time. Her stories were often about a group of children, and a dog, who visited a different part of the country in each book and had an adventure or solve a mystery — The Famous Five and The Secret Seven.
AA Milne
The journalist AA Milne became famous for writing just two books, the first called Winnie-the-Pooh. There was only one child in his stories, who was actually based on his son, Christopher Robin, before he went to school. The other “people” were either animals or toys.
Beatrix Potter
Artist Beatrix Potter wrote her books about the animals she saw near her country home and she also drew all the pictures for the stories. She gave the animals names, and with the first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, she had the idea of selling a doll and a game too.
Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl wrote about his adventures as a pilot, but his most popular stories happened to a boy or girl who met horrible children and adults, or strange animals. Dahl often gave his characters funny names, like Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Lewis Carroll
But the maths professor wrote the strangest stories of all. Lewis Carroll’s two books are about a girl called Alice who meets unusual animals and people in a dream world. Adults enjoy the books as much as children, perhaps because Carroll loved to play with the meanings of words. An original copy of the first book sold for $ 1.5 million a century after it was first published.
1.What was Enid Blyton doing when she began her writing career?
A.She was looking after a dog.
B.She was living in different parts of the country.
C.She was working in a school.
D.She was having an adventure.
2.Which sentence is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Beatrix Potter based her characters on local wildlife.
B.The characters in Roald Dahl’s books often had funny names.
C.Lewis Carroll’s first Alice book was first sold for $1. 5 million when published.
D.Only one character in AA Milne’s stories was a person.
3.Which writer may be the favorite for adults?
A.Enid Blyton. B.Beatrix Potter. C.AA Milne. D.Lewis Carroll.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几位英国著名的儿童作家。
1.细节理解题。根据Enid Blyton部分中的“The teacher was Enid Blyton and she started writing in her spare time. (Enid Blyton是位老师,她在业余时间开始写作)”可知,在Enid Blyton开始写作生涯时,她在学校教书。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据Lewis Carroll部分中的“An original copy of the first book sold for $ 1.5 million a century after it was first published.(第一本书的原版在出版一个世纪后以150万美元的价格售出)”可知,C项“Lewis Carroll的第一本爱丽丝小说出版后首次以150万美元的价格售出。”与原文描述不符,故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据Lewis Carroll部分中的“Adults enjoy the books as much as children, perhaps because Carroll loved to play with the meanings of words.(大人和孩子一样喜欢看这些书,也许是因为卡罗尔喜欢玩弄文字的含义)”可知,成年人最喜欢Lewis Carroll写的书。故选D。

Bambi by Felix Salten

With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.
Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London
Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire
Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park tries to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air.

What do a teacher, a journalist, an artist, a pilot and a mathematics professor have in common? They all became famous British children’s writers.
Enid Blyton
The teacher was Enid Blyton and she started writing in her spare time. Her stories were often about a group of children, and a dog, who visited a different part of the country in each book and had an adventure or solve a mystery — The Famous Five and The Secret Seven.
AA Milne
The journalist AA Milne became famous for writing just two books, the first called Winnie-the-Pooh. There was only one child in his stories, who was actually based on his son, Christopher Robin, before he went to school. The other “people” were either animals or toys.
Beatrix Potter
Artist Beatrix Potter wrote her books about the animals she saw near her country home and she also drew all the pictures for the stories. She gave the animals names, and with the first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, she had the idea of selling a doll and a game too.
Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl wrote about his adventures as a pilot, but his most popular stories happened to a boy or girl who met horrible children and adults, or strange animals. Dahl often gave his characters funny names, like Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Lewis Carroll
But the maths professor wrote the strangest stories of all. Lewis Carroll’s two books are about a girl called Alice who meets unusual animals and people in a dream world. Adults enjoy the books as much as children, perhaps because Carroll loved to play with the meanings of words. An original copy of the first book sold for $ 1.5 million a century after it was first published.

Saint Maybe by Anne Tyler
Saint Maybe is an example of how one small mistake can result in tragedy (悲剧) for a family with lives changed forever. The true strength of the novel lies in the author’s ability to write with sincerity and understanding. I’ve read this book many times over and always find it inspirational when it comes to writing my own novels about the complexities of family life.
— Eric James
Silly Verse For Kids by Spike Milligan
This book is so tiny and thin, but I loved all these funny poems inside-and it made me want to write rhymes. After reading this, I started writing my own poetry. I like including silly poems and lyrics in my books, which is definitely down to the influence of this book. It’s a book that you would read as a kid and it would really stimulate your imagination.
— Liz Pichon
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
A book read at my father’s knee and one that inspired my imagination and shaped my writing life. My desire to fall down a rabbit hole that might take me to Wonderland surpassed (胜过) my other childhood wishes. Wonderland with its Cheshire Cat and never-ending tea parties, which were reflected in a life-long love of cats and cakes, suited me best.
— Menna van Praag
Bambi by Felix Salten
My mum read this to me before I could read, and later I read it to myself again and again. In the Suffolk countryside where I grew up, I would often spot deer in the fields. This book made me stop and study the animal tracks on the ground and made me think about the world around me in a different way, setting me on the path to being a writer.
— Polly Crosby
