9、or a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeares day.However, i
10、t 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 StratforduponAvon, and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the grammar school in the town, but of this we cannot be sure.We kno
11、w 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 know.However, what is important about Shakespeares life is not its details but its products, the plays and the po

23、ether he looked as terrified as he felt.语篇导读本文通过对比的手法，描述了James面试前紧张不安、不知所措的心理状态和表现。1.A.healthyB.nervousC.careless D.confident解析由后面的不知所措，可见其“紧张”。答案B2.A.the interviewer B.the womanC.himself D.the situation解析是他“自己”不知所措。答案C3.A.by B.withC.before D.after解析因为那个女士已面试了近一个小时，可见她是先进去接受面试的。答案C4.A.not like B.so
24、didC.do as D.do like解析表示比较，别人充满自信而“不像”他。答案A5.A.doubtful B.sureC.angry D.astonished解析从后面一句话分析，他“确信”那位女士面试是出色的。doubtful意为“怀疑的”。答案B6.A.reward B.firstC.prize D.job解析面试所竞争的就是“工作”，而且下一句又再现了job这一词。reward意为“奖励，酬谢”，prize意为“奖，奖金”。答案D7.A.hopelessly B.naturallyC.easily D.so much解析从他后面对这份工作的憧憬来看，他“十分”希望得到这份工作。答案
25、D8.A.everything B.happinessC.difficulty D.nothing解析前面说了他非常想得到这份工作，可见这一工作对他来说意味着“一切”。答案A9.A.dreamed of B.learned ofC.thought about D.talked about解析dream of指“梦想”，一般指超出现实或是比较遥远的事情。think about表示“考虑”，比较恰当，而且与下文的imagined，considering相呼应。答案C10.A.explaining B.performingC.answering D.writing解析其他三个选项不能涵盖面试的方方面
26、面。perform意为“表现”；explain意为“解释”；answer意为“答复”；write意为“写”。答案B11.A.offered B.asked forC.being offered D.being asked for解析想象中面试出色，所以立刻得到了那份工作。主语He与谓语offer是被动关系。offer意为“提供”。答案C12.A.mad B.excitedC.certain D.terrible解析由下文可知与前面想象中的美好形成强烈对比。答案D13.A.depend on B.affordC.believe in D.remember解析紧张导致思维混乱，所以不能“想起”准备
27、好的话。depend on意为“依靠，依赖”；afford意为“承担得起”；believe in意为“信任；相信”。答案D14.A.kept B.been taughtC.planned D.been supplied解析无法想起的话语，肯定是事前准备好的。答案C15.A.leave B.go inC.prepare D.practise解析根据行文逻辑选定，他几乎决定站起来并离开。答案A16.A.take back B.put offC.give up D.put down解析等同于前面提到的get up and leave。 take back意为“收回，撤回”；put off意为“推迟”
28、；put down意为“放下，写下”。答案C17.A.ugly B.pleasedC.sad D.pretty解析由后面的行为来看，她对自己的面试表现是满意的。ugly是形容词，“丑恶的，丑陋的”。答案B18.A.noticed B.lovedC.missed D.hated解析获取了那份工作，又表现出洋洋得意的样子，叫James怎么不“恨”她。答案D19.A.thought B.hopedC.wished D.regretted解析由had gone这一虚拟语气形式和“两腿发抖，额头冒汗”这一信息不难推知答案。答案C20.A.shaking B.bendingC.walking D.stop
29、ped解析紧张时两腿“发抖”，这是正常现象。shaking意为“发抖”，符合句意。bending意为“弯曲，俯身”，不符合句意。答案A. 语法填空Have you ever heard that we humans use only ten percent of our brains？This myth holds_1_certain appeal because if it_2_(be) true, then we could instantly become ten times_3_(intelligent) just by firing up that sleepy majority o

33、考查冠词。hold a certain appeal“有一些吸引力”。答案a2.解析考查虚拟语气。根据空格线后的“then we could instantly become.”可知，此处是与现在事实相反的假设，要用虚拟语气，故此处用were。答案were3.解析考查比较等级。如果这是真的，那么仅仅通过激活沉睡的大部分大脑，我们就会(比以前)聪明十倍。答案more intelligent4.解析考查动词的时态。这里是指19世纪科学家所做的实验，因此用一般过去时。答案stimulated5.解析考查代词。这里its指代the animals。答案its6.解析考查动词的被动语态。此处应用call
34、ed表示“被称作”。答案called7.解析考查连词。这句话的意思是“事实上，当我们睡觉的时候，大脑的很多区域都是极度活跃的。”答案as/when8.解析考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知，空格处修饰后面的整个句子，因此此处要用副词Interestingly。答案Interestingly9.解析考查非谓语动词。此处given作定语修饰task，由于give与task之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词。答案given10.解析考查介词。be capable of doing sth.意为“有能力做某事”。答案of. 短文改错My soccer coach retired in last week.I w
