She married Philip Mountbatten in 1949.Little is known about the Queens personal life. In an age when to be famous is to live
18、in a glass house, she is an unusual case. Partly this is because it is considered undignified (不庄重的) for a monarch to show too much about himself or herself to the world. The Queen is famously enthusiastic about horse racing and keeps corgis (威尔士矮脚狗). The Oscar-winning movie deals with a large probl
19、em the Queen faces. She is thought not to understand the people. The movie is about the events that followed the death of Princess Diana in a car crash in 1997.

40、 probably the best known is William Shake-speare. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 on April 23. His father was an important man in town so Shakespeare had a good upbringing. Shakespeare probably went to school but not university. He got married when he was 18 to Anne Hathaway and the coupl
41、e had 3 children. Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets (a sonnet is a kind of poem). He began working in his home town of Stratford but by 1592 was writing in London. He became rich enough to buy a house in the capital and one in Stratford. He wrote sad stories called tragedies, like Romeo and
42、 Juliet, funny stories or comedies, romantic stories and stories about historical figures such as Julius Caesar. Shakespeare died on his birthday in 1616, almost 400 years ago. But why is his work still popular today? His work looked at common human themes, such as betrayal, murder, lust, power, amb
43、ition and love. These themes are as much a part of human nature today as they were all those years ago and are the themes we see in modern soap operas and Hollywood films. Shakespeares influence on the English language can still be felt today. We talk about “fair play”, meaning honest behavior but t
44、his phrase was first used by Shakespeare. He coined the phrase “you can have too much of a good thing”. And it was Shakespeare who came up with the expression to disappear “into thin air” which we still use today when we lose something. Shakespeares work has been translated into every major language
45、 in the world. And perhaps well still be as fascinated by his work 400 years from now as weve been for almost the last 400.51. We can infer from Paragraph1 that William Shakespeare _.

46、le life when he was young D. married a women with three children 52. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage? A. Shakespeare graduated from a famous university. B.

Its a fierce war story. D. Its an ancient revenge story. 54. One possible reason why Shakespeares works are still popular is t
48、hat _.A. the themes in his works are still hot topics of human nature today B. his works are like the soap operas people enjoy todayC. many of his works are adapted into Hollywood movies D. people enjoy seeing ancient plays with all kinds of styles 55.

58、ing of April 2nd.It was raining heavily. Two boys were riding a bike each, talking with each other. They each were holding an umbrella in one hand, and the handle in the other. As they turned right, a car came out at a high speed and turned left on the corner. Though both of the boys and the driver
59、acted quickly, it was too late. One of the boys was hit by the car and badly hurt. In my opinion, there are several reasons for this tragedy. First, the boy was absent-minded. He was talking all the way, holding an umbrella while riding. Second, the bad weather and the slippery road made it hard for the driver to bring the car to a full stop as quickly as possible. Last, the big tree made the road conditions invisible when they were going to make a turn.
