3、 was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play tee piece of music in 17 seconds.For that reason，Mathews moved the work to a tape player，which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed.He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great，but the technical importan

12、gh some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeares day.However，it is surprising that we should know comparatively (相对地) little about the life of the greatest English author.We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in StratfordonAvon，and that he died there
13、 in 1616.He almost certainly attended the grammar school in the town，but of this we cannot be sure.We know that he was married there in 1582 to 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 kno
14、w.However，what is important about Shakespeares life is not its details but its products，the plays and the poems.For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeares life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics (批评) have been theorizing (理
15、论化) about the plays.Sometimes，indeed，it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.Fortunately，this is not likely to happen.Shakespeares people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere，and will
16、 continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.5Whats Paragraph 1 mainly about?AThe great varieties in writing styles.BThe great length of Shakespeares works.CThe richness of the content in Shakespeares works.DThe rich English language used by Shakespeare i
17、n his works.【解析】段落大意题。本段开头点出莎士比亚与其他作家相比较，对英语使用的最为充分，接着对其进行了例证，即其作品中的词汇是常人使用的词汇的5倍。由此可知D项正确。【答案】D6According to the passage，which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare?AHis date of birth.BHis marriage.CHis life in the grammar school.DHis date of death.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“He almost certai
