【答案解析】

9.D推断题。

从1902年出版的小说，1903年拍的一部电影，到1905年的第一批小说等，作者如此不吝惜笔墨，是为了追溯具有冒险故事传统的美国西部发展史。

故D项是正确答案。

10.D推断题。

第三段，通过TheGreatTrainRobbery影片的成功放映，人们才开始认识到在影剧院也可以同样放映一些其它影片,于是其它制片公司甚至于theEdison公司本身便开始生产其副本及TheGreatTrainRobbery的其它译本。

通过以上信息，我们得出的结论应是D项所表达的内容，那一时期的电影并非相当普及。

11.C推断题。

第一段最后一句的waseagertoreadabouttheWest（渴望看一些有关西部的书），与题中werefascinatedbythewildWest（对荒芜的西部着了迷）表达了同样的信息，故C项为正确答案。

12.C词义题。

根据上下文关系以及关键词语novels和form可推知literary的词义。

因为“小说”与“形式”应属于“文学”范围。
