【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了英国著名作家查尔斯·狄更斯，他生于1812年，九岁搬到伦敦，家里孩子多，生活贫困，查尔斯·狄更斯不能上学。他十四岁开始工作，经常去图书馆看书，他看了很多书，然后开始写小说。查尔斯·狄更斯死于一百多年前，但是人们还带着极大的兴趣读着他的书籍。

1.F 句意：查尔斯·狄更斯出生在一座大城市。由第一段最后的“in one of the small towns of England.”（在英国的一个小镇）可知本题错误。

2.2】T 句意：父亲出狱后小查尔斯可以上学。由第三段第一句“ Before his father was out of prison(监狱), Charles could not go to school.”（父亲出狱前，查尔斯不能上学。）可以推测出出狱后才能上学。故本句正确。

3.3】T 句意：查尔斯14岁开始工作。由第三段的“At that time he was twelve years old. But he did not finish school. Two years later he began to work.”（那时他12岁，他未完成学业，两年后开始工作。）可知他是14岁开始工作的。故本句正确。

4.4】F 句意：这位著名作家从未去过图片馆。从第三段中的“He often went to the library to read books.”（他经常去图书馆看书）可知本句错误。

5.5】T 句意：今天人们非常喜欢狄更斯写的书。由短文最后一句“but people are still reading his books with great interest.”（但是人们还有以深厚的兴趣读他的书）可知，本句正确。
