【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。
