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 .

(答案→)A
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。
