问题     No author in American literature is better known or more loved than Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in Missouri in 1835, he grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen name of Mark Twain. The two novels brought him his greatest fame: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Another book, Life on the Mississippi, told of his adventures on the river boats of that period.
    It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started. At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California. His short story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cadaver’s County", was an immediate success and his new life began.
    In 1870, Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon. He had fallen in love with her picture even before he met her. His wife had a great influence on Twain’s later books.
    Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around the country giving talks on different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.
    Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain’s best works. They are marked by humor and satire and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time. His last book was completed in 1909, one year before his death. He was then 74 years old.
Mark Twain is______.
选项 A、the best known author in American literature
B、the best author in America all the time
C、the best known author in the world
D、the best author in the world
答案A
解析 推理题。答案来自于文章开头两句，第一句说在美国文学界，没有一个作家比Clemens更有名、更受欢迎。第二句则告诉我们，马克·吐温是Clemens的笔名，所以可以推出A)“马克·吐温是美国文学界最有名的作家”为正确选项。
