8、】C细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Novels，for the most part，were looked upon as silly，immoral or just plain bad.”可知，那时多半的小说被认为是没头没脑的、有悖道德的或糟糕透顶的。故C项“它们被认为几乎是没有价值的”与原文相符。A、B、D三项无中生有，文章并未提及A项“那时的英国小说很难理解”、B项“英国小说在富人当中很流行”和D项“它们大多由女性创作”。2Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress _.Ahis reputation i
9、n FranceBhis interest in modern artChis success in publicationDhis importance in literature【答案】D推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“Removing him from the pantheon of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.”可知，把他从英国文学的名人堂移除就跟卢浮宫廉价出售蒙娜丽莎的感觉一样，可见狄更斯在英国文学史上的重要性，由此可推知D项正确

12、ght protest and say: “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes，people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that persons feelings.Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell.The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”
13、If this should happen，the speaker might feel “down in the mouth”In other words，he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something.The other person might protest，“I did not say that.Do not put words in my mouth.” Some people hav
