2. The writer expected that _______ . A. the movie was as good as the novel B. the novel was worse than the movie C. the novel was not as good as the movie D. the movie was much worse than the novel 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第一段，并结合第二段中的“Even though my expectations were low”, 可知作者预计的是电影比小说要差。A项意为“小说与电影一样好”；B项意为“小说比电影差”；C项意为“小说没有电影好”，这三项和作者预料的情况都不符。 3. After watching the film the author thought it was _______ . A. worth seeing though there are some weaknesses B. bad though there are something interesting C. necessary to change something greatly D. worth a lot of money though there are mistakes 【解析】选A。细节理解题。第三段中“. . .

The novel is popular with the readers. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。C项说这部电影十分完美，这显然是和第三段中的“‘Eragon’ isn’t without its flaws, however. ”相矛盾，所以该项是错误的。结合整篇文章看，其他选项的意思都和文中相关说法一致。 5.
