Ⅳ.阅读理解

A

Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays that he wrote. However, not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man, except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratfordupon Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know, for example, how long it lasted, but we presume(推测)that he attended the local grammar school, where the principal subject taught was Latin.

Nothing certain is known of what he did between the time he left school and his departure(出发)for London. According to a local legend, he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of neighbouring landowner, Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he was apprenticed(做学徒)to a Stratford butcher, but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.

Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world could be grateful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he was without money or friends there, but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentleman who attended the plays at the theatre. They stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversations so brilliant(有才气的)that finally he was invited to join their company.

1. In the early life of Shakespeare, he________.

A．attended a public school

B．lived in London

C．studied Latin

D．was put in prison for stealing cattle

解析　细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知他上过学，是local grammar school，不是public school；也不是学Latin，只是其principal subject was Latin；由第二段第三行可知，他偷过东西，但不是cattle，而是rabbits and deer；最后一段讲到他离开家乡去了伦敦。

答案　B

2. Why was he forced to leave his native place according to this passage?

A．Because he didn't want to go to school.

B．Because he left for London to become famous.

C．Because he had stolen deer and was beaten.

D．No one knows for certain.

解析　细节理解题。见第二段中“It is said that because of this...”其中this指代上一句话的内容。据说就是因为他被打甚至因偷附近地主家的兔子和鹿而被送进监狱，他离开了自己的家乡。

答案　C

3. What is the reason why the world could be grateful?

A．He wrote many world­famous plays.

B．He was an actor.

C．He lived a hard life.

D．He liked to travel all over the world.

解析　细节理解题。莎士比亚是世界闻名的剧作家，最后一段提到他是怎么从学徒变成剧作家的。

答案　A

4. In the sentence “In time, as he became a familiar figure”， “in time” means________.

A．on time   B．sometime

C．some time later   D．some time

解析　词义猜测题。从上下文推测，是过了一段时间以后人们才熟悉他的。

答案　C

B

He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans(智利人)of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 100th birthday of Pablo Neruda(1940—1973)．

Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence(影响)on his work.

However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.

In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song  of Despair”. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat(外交官)and exile(流亡)made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative(创造性的)and forever moving. He found inspiration(灵感)in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “I need the sea because it teaches me”， he wrote, “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed(回映)in his work.

5. The underlined word “Picasso” can probably be replaced by “________”.

A．most important person

B．famous person from Picasso

C．freedom fighter in Picasso

D．poem fan

解析　词义猜测题。根据下一句的意思“他被各个阶层的智利人所爱戴着，且备受尊重，他的作品广为传诵”可推出：他曾被誉为诗坛“巨匠”。

答案　A

6. Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto took the pen name Pablo Neruda because________.

A．literary greats usually used the pen name

B．his father encourged him to use the name

C．he wanted to prevent his father knowing the publication

D．he was greatly influenced by other poets

解析　细节理解题。根据短文第三段中“To cover up the publication of his first poem...”一句可知，聂鲁达的父亲不赞成儿子当诗人，经常想方设法阻止他创作。为了掩饰自己发表的第一部诗集，他就为自己取了个笔名叫聂鲁达。

答案　C

7. Which of the following is NOT the theme of his works?

A．Love.

B．Political struggle.

C．Social reform.

D．The development of South America.

解析　细节理解题。第四段的第二、三两句表达的意思是：聂鲁达有着丰富的阅历，他当过外交官，曾流亡国外。因此，他的诗歌主题多样，并不仅仅局限于爱情。他的作品还反映了左派政治斗争以及南美洲的发展。由此可判断选C项。

答案　C

8. The last paragraph mainly tells us________.

A．the sea gave Neruda vast writing inspiration

B．the beautiful scenery along the Chile coast

C．Neruda's poems were widely read overseas

D．Neruda loved to write his poems near the sea

解析　细节理解题。根据“He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast.”和“He loved how the sea forever renewed itself，a renewal echoed in his work.”两句可知海浪磅礴的力量、自由的激荡，海岸上展翅翱翔的海鸟，这一切都给聂鲁达无尽的创作灵感。他喜欢大海，还因为大海在永不停息地更新着自己，而他的诗作也如大海一样，不断地推陈出新。因此，选A项。

答案　A
