吐温自传》受到人们的追捧，登上了《纽约时报》畅销书榜单第七名。

吐温自传》需要读者仔细阅读，点滴阅读，所以答案选D项。

本文是一篇电影评论，作者从独特的角度对《阿凡达》提出了令人耳目一新的见解。

（1）C推理判断题。

根据第一段第三句中的内容可知虽然此片是一部好电影，但是考虑到高昂的制作成本，有些不值得。

（2）B细节理解题。

由第一段内容可知Cameron打算制作出一部与《星球大战》《黑客帝国》和自己的《终结者》相提并论的经典科幻史诗，可见B项《黑客帝国》不是他的作品。

（3）C细节理解题。

根据第三段后半部分中的"

What’smissinghereistheheartbreakingmoment."

可知《阿凡达》的弊端是缺少令人心碎的时刻。

（4）B推理判断题。

根据第一段最后一句中的内容可推断《阿凡达》在表达自己的观点时无所畏惧。

（5）D作者态度题。

由第二段和第三段可知《阿凡达》是一部科幻电影；

再根据最后一段中的内容可知作者认为《阿凡达》虽然不是杰作，但仍然不愧为一部值得观看的电影。

由此选D项。
