It is believed that Huck Finn is based on a childhood friend of Mark Twain' s. In fact, Twain was not the only writer that based a fictional character on a real-life person. There are other examples.
Severus Snape and John Nettleship.
Severus Snape is a skillful wizard teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J. K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.
The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling Chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. “I know I am a strict teacher,” he said. “But I don' t think I am as bad as Snape!” On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students are afraid of making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.
Alice and Alice Liddell.
Famously, Lewis Carroll' s Alice in Alice' s Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.
Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down.
Dill and Truman Capote.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee based Dill on her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Capote once said, “Lee was my best friend. Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird I' m a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived!”
( )26. How did Nettleship feel at first when he knew the character Snape was based on him

A. 回答问题 (本题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题,并把答案写在横线上。
When I was about fifteen, I read Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham. At the time, I was living in a small town in Western Colorado, where my father was a minister (牧师). My elder sister, Alice, had died in a car accident and I was trying to find the answer to that age-old question: Why do bad things happen to good people
I don' t remember now how I got my hands on Of Human Bondage, but once I did, I couldn' t put it down. I believe it is Maugham' s best work. It tells the life story of Philip Carey and his search for meaning in life. After Carey' s parents died, he is sent to live with his aunt Louisa and uncle William Carey in a small village.
I still remember how I was mesmerized (迷住) by it. I often read the book late into the night, thinking about Philip as if he were a close friend. I often hurried home after school to read the book to discover what was happening to him.
About one-third into the story, I took a pen and began underlining passages that spoke to me. Even though the book came out in 1915, ten years before I was born, it describes me and my feelings.
