【導語】本文主要講述了英國有史以來最著名的小說家之?——查爾斯?狄更斯。

14.句意：他在八個孩子中排行老二根據"oftheeightchildren”可知用序數(shù)詞表示順序，故填second。

15.句意：查爾斯是一個不快樂的小男孩，因為他的父親在監(jiān)獄里待了很多年。空處是表示泛指，

且unhappy是一個以元音吾素開頭的單詞，應用an修飾，故填an。

18.句意：他還為雜志寫了一些短篇小說。句子前后都是一般過去時，動詞應用過去式，故填wrote。

19.句意：這部小說非常成功。success是名詞，此處應用其形容詞形式successful作表語，故填

successfulo

主句動詞"described”可知定語從句應用一般過去時，主語是復數(shù)，be動詞用were,故填were。

21.句意：在《大衛(wèi)?科波菲爾》（1850）一書中，他寫到了他去監(jiān)獄看望父親的經歷。空后是名詞，所

以應用形容詞性物主代詞his修飾father,故填his。
