(TheChroniclesofBarsetshireandThePalliserNovels)

(hebelieveshecanbuyanything，includingpoliticalinfluence).”可知，在特羅洛普筆下，麥爾墨特是一個自大的、殘酷的、貪污的人，而且非常富有以至于他認為他可以買到任何東西，包括政治影響力。由此可知，麥爾墨特認為錢是萬能的。故選A。6.InwhattonedidTrollopewriteTheWayWeLiveNow?A.Aggressiveandcold.B.Criticalandhumorous.C.Sympatheticandsubjective.D.Conversationalandfriendly.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容尤其是其中的“satire”“satirical”及“Trollopehasfunhere”“Itbeginswithsatireandfinallyresolvesintoentertainingsocialcomedy.”可知，他是以批判和幽默的口吻來創(chuàng)作如今世道的。故選B。2話題：電影介紹難度：建議用時：15分鐘TheBoyWhoHarnessed(利用)
