本句意思是:《湯姆叔叔的小屋》一書的銷量比除了《圣經(jīng)》以外的任何書都高。因此,A項(xiàng)正確。(7) from
表示“出自……地方”。(8) remain
和keep都有“處于……狀態(tài)”的意思,但remain和過去有聯(lián)系,“從過去到現(xiàn)在一直……”;keep和過去沒有聯(lián)系。根據(jù)句中的for 80 years, B項(xiàng)正確。(9) universally
副詞,“普遍地”。A、C、D項(xiàng)與本文意思不符。因此,B項(xiàng)正確。(10)

固定搭配,意為“在行動(dòng),在進(jìn)行,在實(shí)行”,A、B、D項(xiàng)意思與本文不符。故C正確。(18)
根據(jù)上文“But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they were sold out in two days”,A、B項(xiàng)已淘汰,C項(xiàng)意思不符,D項(xiàng)正確。(19)
根據(jù)前一句的意思,這本書促進(jìn)了反奴隸制度動(dòng)動(dòng)的發(fā)展,所以B項(xiàng)正確。(20)
根據(jù)歷史事實(shí)判斷。這本書只是起了一定的推動(dòng)作用,并不是引起美國國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)爭的導(dǎo)火線。因此,A項(xiàng)正確。年級(jí) | 高中課程 | 年級(jí) | 初中課程 |
