问题 The character of Hermione Granger is both ______.
  
Interviewer: Where do you get your idea from, Mrs. Rowling?
Rowling: I wish I knew. Sometimes they just come like magic and other times I have to sit and think for weeks before I manage to work out how something will happen. Where the idea for Harry Potter actually came from I really couldn’t tell you. I was just traveling on a train
between Manchester and London and it just popped into my head. I spent four hours thinking about what Hogwarts would be like—the most interesting train journey I’ve ever taken. By the time I got off at King’s Cross many of the characters in the books had already been invented.
Interviewer: Are any of the characters in the books based on real people?
Rowling: Tricky question! The answer is yes, and no. I have to confess that Hermione Granger is a little bit like I was at her age, though I was neither as clever nor as annoying. Ron is a little bit like my oldest friends and Professor Snape is a lot like one of my old teachers, but I’m not saying which one.
Interviewer: How long have you been writing?
Rowling: Nearly all my life. I had written two novels before I had the idea for Harry, though I’d never tried to get them published.
Interviewer: Did you expect the Harry books to be this successful?
Rowling: Never. I just wrote the sort of thing I liked reading when I was younger. I didn’t expect lots of people to like them, in fact, I never really thought much apart from getting them published.
Interviewer: Any clues about the next book?
Rowling: I don’t want to give anything away, but I can tell you that the books are getting darker and Harry’s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!
Interviewer: Who are your favorite authors?
Rowling: My favorite writer of all time is Jane Austen.

选项

答案the popularity

解析 本题考查细节理解。Interviewer问:“Did you expect the Harry books to be this successful?”Rowling回答说:“Never.…I didn’t expect lots of people to like them,”所以可以推断答案应该是:The popularity of the Harry books beyond her expectation.(书的受欢迎程度超出了她的预想。)
