Every student shuld read ne f the plays by William Shakespeare. It will be a chance t read sme f the mst amazing petry(诗歌). But it will be hard. Shakespeare didn't use language like us.
Wiliam Shakespeare lived in the time f Queen Elizabeth I. The language at that time is knwn as Elizabethan English. Why is it s difficult t understand the plays f William Shakespeare?
One prblem is the meaning f the wrds Thugh abut 95% f Shakespeare's wrds are still used in English tday, a few f them nw have different meanings. Fr example, the wrd “weird”. T us, it means strange. In Shakespeare's day, it meant being able t see the future. Anther example is “quick”. It nw means fast, but 400 years ag it meant alive.
While wrd meanings may be ne prblem, Shakespeare's rder f wrds is anther prblem. Wrds are usually put tgether in certain rder in English. Fr example, we usually say, “Jhn caught the ball.” But Shakespeare was as pet(诗人), and he did nt have t keep language rules. He wuld smetimes use the frm, “Jhn the ball caught.” He did this t make the beats and sunds f each line f his pems cme ut a certain way. But any high schl student can easily understand Shakespeare's creative wrd rder. The prblem, it seems, must be smething else.
The biggest prblem, perhaps, is understanding Shakespeare himself. He was, after all, a pet. Even great mdern pets write things that readers might have truble understanding.
Students will always have truble understanding the language f Shakespeare. But if they dn't give up, they will enjy the greatest wrks written by the greatest f pets.
23. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing is an pinin instead f a fact?
A. The wrd “quick” means fast tday while it meant alive 400 years ag
B. It's difficult fr the readers t understand the great mdern pets' wrks.
C. Shakespeare used different rders f wrds t make the lines sund natural
D. Nearly 95% f Shakespeare's wrds are used tday but sme have different meanings.
24. Which f the fllwing shws hw the paragraphs are rganized in this passage?
25. What's the writer's purpse f writing this passage?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
26. This passage can prbably be read in the _________part f a magazine.
A. TravelB. LiteratureC. GegraphyD. Business
D
Many cultures have stries f talking trees that give advice as well as warnings t peple. Alexander the Great and Marc Pl were said t have visited such a tree in India. And in sme mdern stries, such as the film Avatar, trees can cmmunicate with animals and peple.
New research has fund smething amazing: It seems that plants can cmmunicate after all.
It has been knwn fr sme time that plants use chemicals(化学物质) t cmmunicate with each ther. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives ut chemicals frm the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, r a call fr help: “I'm being attacked!” When anther plant gets the chemicals, it starts t give ut its wn, different chemicals. Sme f these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps(黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hpe t learn mre abut this plant warning system, s that we can use it t grw mre crps.
Mre surprisingly, plants als use sund t cmmunicate. Peple can't hear these sunds, but plants are making them. Sme plants make nises with their rts. Cm and chilli-plants d this. Sme trees make clicking nises when there is nt enugh water.
Mst surprisingly f all, plants have an amazing system(系统) f cmmunicatin that can link nearly every plant in a frest. Scientists call this system the “wd wide web”. The wd wide web is linked undergrund by fungi(菌). It links the rts f different plants t each ther. It is in sme ways similar t the Internet we use. Using the wd wide web, ____▲____. Hwever, it may lead t bad effects. Plants may use it t steal fd frm each ther, r spread chemicals t attack ther plants. Perhaps ne day scientists will lean hw t create a “firewall” t help prevent these attacks within the wd wide web.
Scientists are learning mre every day abut the secret ways in which plants talk t each ther. Wh knws? Maybe ne day we will knw enugh abut plant cmmunicatin t be able t “talk” with them by urselves.
