It was always thought that Treasure Island(金银岛) was the product（产物） of Robert Stevenson’s imagination（想像）. 36 ，recent research has found the true story of this exciting work .
Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived 37 for many years .In 1881 he returned to Scotland to spend 38 .With him were his American wife Fanny and his son 39 .
Each morning they would go out for a 40 over the hills .They had been 41 this for several days before the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. Kept indoors by the heavy rain, Lloyd, Stevenson’s son, felt the days 42 .To keep the boy happy, Robert asked the boy to do some 43 .
One morning, the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island. Robert 44 that the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of 45 . “What’s that?” he asked “That’s the 46 treasure”, said the boy. Robert suddenly 47 something of an adventure(冒险) story in the boy’s 48 .While the rain was pouring ,Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He would make the 49 a twelve-year-old boy just like Lloyd .But who would be molded(塑造) into the hero — a pirate(海盗)?
Robert had a good friend named Henley, who walked with the 50 of a wooden leg , Robert had always wanted to 51 such a man in a story. 52 Long John Silver, the pirate with a wooden leg, was 53 .
So thanks to a 54 September in Scotland, a friend with a wooden leg and the imagination of a twelve-year-old boy, we have one of the greatest 55 stories in the English language.

解析
【短文大意】 人们认为《金银岛》一书是史蒂文森凭空想象出来的，然而最近的研究表明这部作品出笼的细节。 史蒂文森旅居国外多年，在1881年，他从美国携带妻子和儿子回国度假。由于天气一直下雨，他们呆在宾馆。为了让儿子高兴，他就让儿子作画来。一天早上，儿子拿着一张画有岛屿的画作来找父亲，他在岛中画了一个十字符号，说是那里有埋藏的珍宝。于是，一部用英语写成的伟大的的探险小说在史蒂文森的笔下完成了。
小题1:A 空格前句意是“人们一直认为《金银岛》一书是史蒂文森凭空想象出来的”，后面的句意是“最近的一项研究发现这部令人激动的作品的一些真是的经历”。显然，两句具有转折关系。
小题1:D 根据前面的Stevenson, a Scotsman以及后句的“In 1881 he returned to Scotland....”及“With him were his American wife Fanny and his son”可判断空格中应表明他不是独身一人，二是与家人一起在国外居住多年。
小题1:C 根据第三段中第一句Each morning Stevenson would take them out ... over the hills,可判断他们每天早上是爬山游玩，一次断定回国是为了“度假”。
小题1:A 根据Kept indoors the heavy rain, Lloyd felt the days以及下文的To keep the boy happy, Robert asked the boy...，可判断是Lloyd。
小题1:C 既然是度假，而且是一家人去山上，因此一定是“漫步”。
小题1:D 每天山上漫步，一定感到很惬意，应该是一种“享受”。
小题1:B 然而大雨却让他们不得不呆在室内。孩子感觉天一定会很“阴暗”，只有dull符合句意。
小题1:C 根据下文的with a beautiful map of an island以及the boy had drawn a large cross...可判断是drawing。
小题1:B “孩子在图上岛的中间画了一个十字”，这个应该是父亲细心，“注意到”的事情。
小题1:D 根据上文a beautiful map of an island以及题目可判断。
小题1:B 宝藏应该是被人埋藏在岛中的某个地点，因此选buried。
小题1:A 句意为：突然，史蒂文森从儿子的绘画中设想出一个探险故事。see含有“设想、预想”之意。
小题1:C 上文谈到儿子拿来一幅画给父亲看，因此可判断父亲是从儿子的绘画中得到灵感。
小题1:B 上文有父亲坐在炉火旁写作，因此可判断，这里是他想让故事中的主人翁就是他儿子一样的孩子。hero意思是“主人翁，英雄”。
小题1:A 词组with the help of表示“在……帮助下；借助于”。
小题1:C 上文有故事的主人翁产生了，海盗是谁呢？作者紧接着突然提及父亲有一个朋友，借助于一只木头腿走路，而下文中的such a man in the story即指这个朋友，可见意思是在书中“包括”这样一个人物。
小题1:D 上下文之间为因果关系，故填thus。
小题1:B 根据上文这一句总结了海盗“诞生”的过程。
小题1:A 上文有因“雨”，才有后面的故事，因“孩子”，“木头腿的朋友”才有了故事的中的人物，金银岛一书应多亏了那个“下雨的”九月等。
小题1:D 根据47空后的an adventure story暗示，以及常识可知《金银岛》是探险小说。 |

One of the most famous nursery rhymes(摇篮曲) in the English language is Mary Had a Little Lamb(羔羊). It has touched many children who have read it. It is about the deep love between a young girl and her pet lamb. The poem is from a true story that happened in the early part of the 19th century in the town of Sterling, Massachusetts, in the USA.
Mary Sawyer (1806－1889) lived on a farm with her family. One day, when she was about nine years old, she saw a little lamb that had just been born and left behind by its mother. It was very weak and looked as if it would die at very moment. Mary took pity on the lamb and spent the whole night looking after it. Eventually, it grew strong and became a very close friend with Mary, following her everywhere she went.
One day, the lamb even followed Mary to school. At first she wanted to turn it back but her brother suggested that it would be fun to take the lamb to school. During the class, she hid the lamb under her desk. But when she was called to go to the front of the class, to her surprise, the lamb followed her. Though the students and the teacher thought it was funny to see a lamb at school, the teacher had to ask Mary to keep the lamb outside of the school.
That very day, a young man called John Roulstone was visiting Mary’s school. He was so moved by the love between the child and her little pet lamb that he wrote a poem which he handed to Mary the next day. His poem contained twelve lines.
Later, Sara Josepha Hale added another twelve lines to the poem and published it in 1930 under the title “Mary Had a Little Lamb”. The poem has become a classic, loved by children all over the world. The appeal (吸引力) of the poem lies not only in the funny idea of a sheep going to school but also in the true love between the little girl and her pet. The town of Sterling has honoured Mary’s lamb by building a statue (雕像) of the lamb with Mr Roulstone’s poem below the statue.
