【解析】文章大意：《金銀島》這部書總被認為是斯蒂文森的思維產(chǎn)物, 其實該作品的思路來源于他兒子的一幅畫。

1.邏輯推理題。由上句可知人們一般認為的和最近的一項研究調(diào)查結(jié)果是不一致的, 故選轉(zhuǎn)折副詞however。

2.反義詞復現(xiàn)。和下句的returned及上句的Scotsman相反, 可知他一直在國外生活。故選D。

3.邏輯推理題。通過下文他每天早上帶妻子和兒子去爬山也可看出, 他回來唯一的可能是度假。

4.原詞復現(xiàn)題。由下段倒數(shù)第二句Lloyd felt the days 可知。

5.背景常識題。他們一家三口每天早上去爬山over the hills可知, 他們走了很長的路。

6.詞義辨析題。本句指在天氣變得糟糕之前他們一直很享受這段時光。故選D。

7.反義詞復現(xiàn)。因為下雨待在家中, 所以他兒子可能會感到心情很郁悶。和后句的happy相反。

8.派生詞復現(xiàn)。由下文the boy had drawn a large cross可以看出, 他讓孩子畫點兒東西。

9.詞義辨析題。當兒子拿著一張地圖過來時, 他注意到孩子在地圖上畫了一個大大的十字。

10.原詞復現(xiàn)題。由本段首句的a beautiful map of an island中的island可知答案。

11.邏輯推理題。財寶應該是埋在此處的, 故用buried“埋藏的”。

12.詞語辨析題。由本句知他突然發(fā)現(xiàn)孩子的畫中的一個冒險故事。

13.近義詞復現(xiàn)。picture和上文的map是近義詞。他是從兒子的畫中得到了靈感, 而不是兒子的回答。

14.背景常識題。既然是冒險, 那就有小英雄。他想讓像兒子一樣的一個12歲的男孩當探寶的小英雄。

15.固定搭配題。with the help of在……的幫助下。他的朋友的腿是假肢, “在一個木制腿的幫助下”才能走。

16.詞語辨析題。羅伯特一直想在他的作品中塑造一個這樣的人, produce“塑造”; 而praise“贊揚”, include“包括”, accept“接受”, 均不合題意。

17.邏輯推理題。和上文是因果關(guān)系。由上文可知, 就這樣, 他創(chuàng)造了這樣一個海盜形象。

18.近義詞復現(xiàn)。上文有produce, 這樣的一個海盜形象被創(chuàng)作出來或誕生了。

19.派生詞復現(xiàn)。從第三段和第四段都可看出當時的天氣不好——下雨的(rainy), 故選A。

20.原詞復現(xiàn)題。由第四段中的an adventure story可知。
