答案解析：

答案为C。

本题为推理题。

由第一段首句““TheLordoftheRings”,oneofthebestsellersinthenewmillennium...”可知，A选项错误。

由第一段后面的“Millionsuponmillionsofpeoplehavereaditinover25differentlanguages,butfewerknowabouttheauthorandthehistoryofthecompositionofthecreativematerwork.”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,OldNorseandAnglo-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。

A.HobbitwasaracelivinginEnglishdowntownareas.

本题为细节推理题。

由文章第四段“HobbitwasanameTolkiencreatedforalocalpeoplethatcouldbestbedescribedashalf-sizedmembersoftheEnglishruralclass.Hobbitsliveinhillsideholes.”可知，A、B、C均不正确。

A.OneofTolkien’sstudents.B.StanleyUnwin’sson.

C.Allen&Unwin.D.BilboBaggins.

答案解析：

答案为B。

本题为推理题。

尽管文章倒数第二段首句提到“OneofTolkien’sstudentspersuadedheremployer,publisherAllen&Unwin,tolookatadraft.”但是后文又提到“Thechairmanofthefirm,StanleyUnwin,thoughtthatthebestjudgeforachildren’sbookwouldbehisten-year-oldson…”故可以推断，对于TheHobbit的出版起着决定作用的应该是StanleyUnwin’sson。

故答案为B。

4.Whatismainlydiscussedinthetext?

A.“TheLordoftheRings”anditswriter.

B.Acompletelynewmasterworkinthenewmillennium.

C.AfamousprofessoratOxfordUniversity.

D.Thepowerofthemagicring.
