16、ing the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeares play The

For his play Macbeth, Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.

Many common expressions in English come from his plays, including “pomp and circumstance(装腔作势)”from Othello, “full circle(绕圈子)” from King Lear,
22、 etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented.

29、._26._27._28_29._30._31._32_33._答案课时作业(二).1. D考查冠词的用法。第一空表特指，用定冠词the；a good knowledge of为固定短语，意为“熟悉，精通”。2C考查副词辨析。really “真正地”；obviously “明显地”；actually “实际上”；generally “一般来说”，从句意来看，显然actually最符合情境。3A考查present作形容词的用法。present作前置定语时，意思是“现在的”；作后置定语时，表示“在场的”。4C考查时态、语态和主谓一致。A as well as B作主语，谓语动词与A保持一致；此处应
30、用主动语态。5Cthe former，the latter“前者，后者”，为固定搭配。late “迟到的，晚的”；later“稍后”；lately “最近，近来”。6C考查动词辨析。recognize “认出”。句意为：这20年来那个山村变化是如此之大，以至于我现在几乎都认不出它来了。know “知道”；pick “捡起”；realize “意识到”。7A考查定语从句与the sameas的用法。句意：你能给我买一本昨天你给汤姆的那样的书吗？the sameas “与一样”。故选A项。8D考查情景交际。根据后句的“我不是出生在特权人家”可知，答案是否定的，故选no way “决不”；其余选项意
31、思是“没问题”，与句意不符。9C考查动词不定式的用法。句意：应当充分利用收集来的钱来帮助那些有困难的人们。句子的主语是the money，谓语是should be made use of，collected是过去分词作定语修饰the money，to help作目的状语。故选C项。10B考查动词request虚拟语气的用法。句意：她要求不要向任何人谈起她的决定。request所跟的宾语从句要用“should 动词原形”，should可以省略，又因为no one 和tell是被动的关系，故用被动语态。应该选B项。11B考查定语从句。句意：我不喜欢你嘲笑他的方式。先行词是the way，引导词作状
32、语时，可用that、in which 或不填引导词。故选B项。12A考查名词辨析。句意：应他的邀请，我去参加了他的聚会。at ones request “应某人的邀请；在的请求下”，符合题意。故选A项。13Cask sb. not to do sth.意为“要求某人不要做某事”，不能说ask sb. doing sth.。14A考查同位语从句中的虚拟语气。request之后的that从句为同位语从句，需用虚拟语气，即谓语动词用“should动词原形”，其中should可省略，故选A项。15D考查常用表达的辨析。句意：收到她的来信真高兴。信不信由你，我们上次见面是在30多年前。whats mor
33、e “而且”； that is to say “也就是说”；in other words “换句话说”；believe it or not “信不信由你”。.A经过这么多年的爱情长跑，威廉王子和凯特终于步入婚姻的殿堂。婚礼盛况空前，人们涌向街头或公园，观看婚礼庆典，送上美好祝福。16C细节理解题。由最后一段的His father, Prince Charles, is first in line to become king. William, as the older son, is second in line. 可知C 项错误。17D细节理解题。根据文章第七段首句Bahrains cro
34、wn prince was invited but decided not to attend because of unrest in his country.可知，巴林王储因为国家动荡未能应邀前往观礼。18A细节理解题。根据文章末段Kate would not become queen, however, since she is not in the royal blood line.可知，由于Kate没有皇室血缘，故不能成为王后。19D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，这是一篇新闻报道，在第一段点明了文章的主题：Britains Prince William and Kate Middleto
35、n get married，紧接着说明这次婚礼吸引了世人的眼球。因此D项最能概括全文。从第四段可以看出，这是戴安娜婚礼之后的最盛大的婚礼，而没有说是英国最盛大的婚礼，由此可以看出A项错误；B 项“世界上最豪华的婚礼”在文章中找不到根据；C项是文章的一个细节，因此也不能概括全文。B文章向我们介绍了一代文豪莎士比亚的作品为什么能够从古代众多的作家的作品中脱颖而出，以其顽强的生命力幸存于世的，就是继承古代优秀作品之长，并具有自己的特色。20A考查细节理解。由第二段的“Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer
36、Plautus. For his play Macbeth, Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，”可以看出，莎士比亚的作品受到了早期作品的影响。21D考查细节理解。由第二段最后一句“but the intensity(强度)of his imagination and language made the plays his own. Whil
37、e many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.”正是他的语言和想象力的强度使得作品独具特色，具有了极强的生命力，留存到了现在。22A考查细节理解。由倒数第二段的“But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.”可以看出，莎士比亚对后世最大影响在于英语语言上。23C考查主旨大意。纵观全文可以看出，文章向我们介绍了古代文化对莎士比亚作品的影响，以及其作品对后世尤其是对英语语言的影响。.24.boring25.by26.joined27.written28.dictionary29What30.fell31.gradually32.larger33.success
