5.Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,made full use of the greatest resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English:Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand!There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it.Such a study is well worth the effort,even though some aspects of English usage,and the meaning of many words,have changed since Shakespeare's day.
However,it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author.We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564in Stratford-on-Avon,and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town,but of this we cannot be sure.We know he was married there in 1582to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children.We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces.But this is almost all that we do know.
However,what is important about Shakespeare's life is not its incidental details butits products,the plays and the poems.For many years scholars have been trying to add a few fats about Shakespeare's life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics have been theorizing about the plays.Sometimes,indeed,it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disaapear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.
Fortunately this is not likely to happen.Shakespeare's people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere,and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.

分析 莎士比亞,也許比任何其他作家,都更充分利用了英語資源,我們大多數(shù)人在我們的正常就業(yè)中使用約五千英語詞匯,莎士比亞在他的作品中使用約二萬五千單詞!但是對(duì)于這樣偉大的作家,我們對(duì)其作品的評(píng)論比對(duì)其詩歌本身的關(guān)注還要多.

解答 1.D 主旨大意題.根據(jù)第一段尤其是Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,made full use of the greatest resources ofthe English language.可知,莎士比亞的作品里所用的豐富的詞匯是無人能及的,并不是他的寫作風(fēng)格、內(nèi)容的豐富多樣.故選D.
2.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town,but of this we cannot be sure.可知,幾乎可以肯定他上了鎮(zhèn)上的語法學(xué)校,但這一點(diǎn)我們不能肯定.故選C.
3.A推理判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知,詩評(píng)之多淹沒了詩作本身,出現(xiàn)了只見評(píng)論不見詩的局面.所以不是所有關(guān)于莎士比亞作品的評(píng)論都產(chǎn)生了良好的效果.故選A.
4.B句意理解題.根據(jù)本句前的For many years scholars have been tryingto add a few facts about Shakespeare's life…and for an equally long timecritics have been theorizing about the plays.可知,學(xué)者及評(píng)論家們一直在豐富莎士比亞的生平事跡以及評(píng)論莎。裕袝r(shí)人們對(duì)莎士比亞作品的評(píng)論比對(duì)其詩歌本身的關(guān)注還要多.故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是文學(xué)藝術(shù)類閱讀,主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題.在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí),首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語.認(rèn)真比較選項(xiàng)和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別,在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

20.If you talk to a man in a language he understands,that goes to his head.If you talk to him in his own language,that goes to his heart.-Nelson Mandela
But learning a language can seem difficult,so I'm going to provide an overview of the general strategy before we get into the specifics.
Here is the breakdown.We'll go more in depth into each of these later on.
1.Get the right resources for learning:a grammar book,memorization software,and films or books.
2.Get a private tutor.You want one for at least a month.I recommend four hours per day.
3.Attempt to speak and think only in the new language.Every time you can't remember a word,put that word into your m emorization software.Practice your vocabulary daily.
4.Find friends,language partners,and other speakers of the language.Once you can have basic conversations with your private tutor,you need to find other partners.If you haven't already,think about moving to the country where the language is spoken.Consider a group class.Practice continuously.Stop speaking English.
That's the basic strategy.Again,this strategy is intensive,because learning a language in three months is a difficult task.If you'd prefer to learn the language more slowly or you don't have the ability to move to a new country and practice 4-8 hours a day,the n you can modify the plan.It is extremely important that you practice every day,however-20 minutes a day is much better than once or twice a week.
Some of these concepts are hard to understand through the written word,so I created a video series,just for Zen Habits readers,that teaches the steps to learn a language.Get the Hack The System Language Learning Videos here.
33.The quote in the first paragraph is used toB.
A.let readers study a famous saying
B.introduce the topic of the passage
C.show who is Nelson Mandela
D.tell reader the famous saying of Nelson Mandela
34.The passage is written for readers who speakC.
A.French            B.Chinese          C.English      D.Italian
35.The underlined word"modify"can be replaced by"A".
A.change            B.measure          C.manage       D.destroy.

10.Whether rich or poor,parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain,according to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans.
For years,educators have thought the strongest predictor of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated.But,the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education.
Being a sociologist,Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesser-educated parents benefit the most from having books in the home.What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead?The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed.Evans said,"Even a little bit goes a long way.Having as few as 20books in the home still has a significant impact on   motivating a child to a higher level of education,and the more books you add,the greater benefit the children get."
The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children's educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents,the father's occupation or the economic level of the country.
Having books in the home is twice as important as the father's education level,and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country.Surprisingly,the difference in educational attainment for children born in developed country and children born in developing country was just 2years,less than two-thirds of the effect that having 500or more books in the home had on children.

8.In the past educators held a point of view thatD.
A.children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of education
B.children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich families
C.parents'level of education had nothing to do with their children's levels of education
D.children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of education
9.What does the underlined word"motivating"in Paragraph 3mean?A
A.Making somebody determined to do something.
B.Helping somebody to finish something
C.Making somebody ready to do something.
D.Preventing somebody from achieving something.
10.Which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will attain?D
A.The economic level of the country.
B.The father's occupation.
C.Education levels of parents.
D.Having books in the home.
11.What is the best title for the passage?D
A.The best investment parents should make.
B.Ways to make children get a higher level of education.
C.Reading books is good for the development of children.
D.Books in home have a great effect on children's education levels.

14.Have you ever felt that you want more friends?Have you found that you don't know how to make friends?Don't worry; it is easier than it looks.
Start with small actions.If you're uncomfortable or embarrassed with long conversations with people,start by just saying"hi"and asking how the person is doing.Even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning,people will usually still like you.When it comes to conversations,remember"F.O.R.".It stands for family,occupation(職業(yè))and recreation(休閑).These are the three topics that you're most likely to be asked about when you meet someone new.Most people feel comfortable talking about these three topics.The great thing is that you can communicate with someone new in these three areas.
Honesty is the best policy.In friendship,"honesty"is the fundamental quality that one must have.One should always be honest with his or her friends.Don't laugh at people's faults(錯(cuò)誤).Praise them honestly and openly.Say you're sorry if you hurt your friend.
Give more than you take.Be there when they need you.Encourage them; we all often need encouragement.Encourage their dreams.Life seems almost meaningless without them.Wish your friends luck.Examine your purposes before you"help out".Love them and never forget them.

21.Which is the best title for this passage?B
A.Where to Meet Friends 
B.How to Make Friends
