Fairy Tales for All the WorldThis year, the world is marking the 200th anniversary of Danish author HansChristian Andersen with a wide range of events.Andersen's tales have attracted millions of readers for more than a century. They continue to be among the best-known works of world literature. "The Ugly Duckling (小鸭)" and "The Little Mermaid (美人鱼)" are among the most famous.He was born on April 2, 1805, in the slums of Odense, Denmark. His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washer-woman. Andersen received very little education, but his fascination with fairy tales inspired him to compose his own stories and arrange puppet (木偶) shows.His father died when he was 11. He was forced to go to work, first as an apprentice to a weaver and tailor and then in a tobacco factory. At the age of 14, he moved to Copenhagen to try a career as a singer, dancer and actor. He sang in a boy's choir (合唱团), but he made very little money. He also tried the ballet, but his awkwardness made this impossible.Finally, when he was 17, Jonas Collin, a director of the Royal Theatre inCopenhagen discovered Andersen. After hearing Andersen read a play, Collin realized that he had talent. And he got money from the king for Andersen's education.In 1828, Andersen passed the entrance examinations to the university inCopenhagen. His writings were first published in 1829. In 1833, he received grant money for travel, which he used to visit Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy. These journeys were recorded in his travelogues (旅行见闻). In 1835, Andersen published "Fairy Tales for Children," which contained four short stories. He eventually wrote around 168 fairy tales. They achieved success in his life-time and were widely published and translated.Unhappiness also found its way into many of his tales which were not meant merely for children but for adults as well. He used very simple language and style to disguise the moral teachings of his tales.Andersen also wrote novels, plays and poems. He died at his home in Rolighed on August 4, 1875.16 Andersen died on April 4, 1875A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 Chinese children are particularly fond of Andersen's talesA RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 Andersen was not a good ballet dancer.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Collin managed to get money for Andersen to receive more educationA RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 Andersen's fairy tales didn't achieve success until after he diedA RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 Andersen's tales not only tell stories but also teach moral lessonsA RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 Andersen's novels, plays and poems are not well-knownA RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意与完成句子（第23～30题，每题1分，共8分）下面的短文后有2项测试任务：（1）第23～26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2～5段每段1选择个最佳标题；（2）第27～30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。
