It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.
1. What can we learn from the text?
A. “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B. People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C. Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D. Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
答案解析:答案为C。本题为推理题。由第一段首句 ““The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium...”可知,A选项错误。由第一段后面的 “Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.” 可知,B选项错误。由第二段内容可知,Tolkien 出生于南非,幼时丧父母,与aunt 住在英格兰,和表兄妹们一起玩耍的经历养成了对Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.的热爱,也使得Tolkien能够熟练掌握它们。故可推断,Tolkien在英格兰长大,熟悉的不会是非洲本土语言,应该是英语,文章提到那些语言自然就是古英语了。故答案C正确。
2. What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?
