【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：全文叙述了某小说作家为使作品畅销，而加以登出一则征婚广告的故事。

1.B考查动词及语境理解。句意：他说他的父母给了他百万英镑。give给；gave是give的过去式；has given是give的现在完成时形式；will give是give的一般将来时形式。主句中he said为过去时，宾语从句中也用过去时态，所以gave正确。因此选B。

2.A考查形容词及语境理解。句意：大家都知道这所大学是世界上作著名的大学之一。 the most famous最著名的； more famous 更著名的；most famous最著名的；famous著名的。 “one of+形容词最高级+复数名词”为固定用法，表示“……之一”。在形容词的最高级前通常要加定冠词，所以选A。。

3.C考查名词及语境理解。句意：他想找一个女孩子做他的妻子。Friend朋友；classmate同学；wife 妻子；teacher老师。根据下文描述可知他想要一个女孩成为他的妻子，所以选C。

4.D考查连词及语境理解。句意：但是这个女孩子必须像毛姆的书中所描写的那样。因为毛姆是他最喜欢的。Though尽管；so所以；but但是；because因为。根据语境可知这里是一个原因状语从句，所以选D。

5.D考查副词及语境理解。句意：数以千计的父母和女孩很快地都知道了这个广告。truly真实地；wrongly错误地；slowly慢慢地；quickly迅速地。根据语境可知该选D。

6.C考查动词短语及语境理解。句意：他们都去书店找毛姆写的书。look at看；look over检查； look for寻找；look after照看。由题意可知选C。

7.A考查介词及语境理解。句意：他们都为女儿买下毛姆的书做礼物。as作为；with和；for为；like 像。As presents作为礼物，所以选A。

8.C考查动词及语境理解。句意：女孩子们努力去找那些书读。 to keep保持；to sell卖；to read读；to show展示。to read“去读”，与the books意思相符， 所以选C。

9.B考查动词及语境理解。句意：毛姆写的书在很短时间内被售光了。 are sold out 一般现在时被动语态形式；were sold out一般过去时被动语态形式；have sold out现在完成时形式；sold out一般过去时形式。根据句意及语境可知应用一般过去时的被动语态，所以选B。

10.A考查反身代词及语境理解。句意：那就是毛姆本人！他是多聪明的人啊！himself 他自己；herself她自己；itself它自己；themselves他们自己。反身代词作Somerset Maugham的同位语。所以选A。

考点：故事类短文。
