五、阅读理解(20 分)
A
F. Scott Fitzgerald,born on September 24,1896,an American novelist,was once a student of St. Paul Academy,the Newman School,and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917,he joined the army and was posted in Alabama,where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness,as he wrote in his diary,“My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This Side of Paradise,his first novel,was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success,Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then,he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned (1922),a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922),and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby,published in 1925,which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then,in 1926,he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However,Fitzgerald's problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life,but failed. By 1930,his wife had her first breakdown(神经衰弱) and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period,he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States,he got totally addicted to(沉迷于) alcohol. Sheila Graham,his dear friend,helped him fight his alcoholism.
(A) 1. How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage?
A. 5. B. 6. C. 7. D. 8.
(C) 2. We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald ______.
A. had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama
B. was well educated and well off before he served in the army

D. helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital
