4.For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist (剧作家).Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare.Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people.Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.There is probably no better way for 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 (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.1).English people _______.A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB.never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatistC.are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD.do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist2).Every Englishman knows _______.A.more or less about ShakespeareB.Shakespeare, but only slightlyC.all Shakespeare’s writingsD.only the name of the greatest English writer3).Which of the following is true?A.We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B.Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they useD.All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.4).What does the word “proverb” mean?A.Familiar sayings.B.Shakespeare’s plays.C.Complaints.D.Actors and actresses.5).Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time.B.By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.C.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time.D.Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.

    There was a very interesting remark in a book by an Englishman that I read recently( )what he thought was a reason for this American characteristic.

    A.giving
    B.gave
    C.to give
    D.given

    答案:A
    解析:
    该题考查非谓语动词。其中介词短语by an Englishman与定语从句that I read recently都做定语修饰book。可见空格处应填一分词做定语修饰remark,而what he thought...characteristic做分词的宾语,其中he thought为插入语。由此排除B,C选项.根据句意,remark与give应是主动关系,故排除选项D.答案为A。

  • 第6题:

    资料:(一)
    Insurance is the sharing of risks, Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire, the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea;the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss, In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the money. This is the basis of insurance, Those who pay the contribution are known as “insured”and those who administer the pool of contributions as ”insurers”.
    Not all risks can be covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business and speculation cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not of a kind that can be statistically estimated, and risks can only be insured against if they can be so estimated.
    The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a certain sum of money, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss, if the risk actually happens. The wording of policies, particularly in marine insurance, often seems very old-fashioned, but there is a sound reason of this. Over a large number of years, many law cases have been brought to clear up the meanings of doubtful phrases in policies. The law courts have given these phrases a definite and indisputable meaning, and to avoid future disputes the phrases have continued to be used in polices even when they have passed out of normal use in speech.

    The phrase “the pool of contributions”in the first paragraph means______.

    A.the money paid by the insurers
    B.the cost of administering insurance
    C.the money paid by the insured
    D.the amount of each premium

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解及词义替换。
    【关键词】 "the pool of contribution”; in the first paragraph
    【主题句】第1自然段 If these persons each put a small sum of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the money. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as "insured" and those who administer the pool of contributions as "insurers".如果这些人每人拿出一小笔钱来汇聚成一片汪洋,就会有足够的钱来满足少数的确遭受损失的人的需求。换言之,少数人的损失是由缴纳的钱来支付的,这是保险的基础。缴纳摊款的人被称为“被保险人”,而管理款项总额的人被称为“保险公司”。
    【解析】本题的问题是“第1自然段中,短语 “the pool of contribution”(款项总额)的意思是_______”。 A选项“保险公司支付的款项”;B选项“管理保险的费用”;C选项“被保险人支付的款项”;D选项“每笔保险费的金额”。根据题目中关键词找到主题句,主题句中,短语"the pool of contribution”是使用了修辞手法,其实质就是保险费的总和,即被保险人支付的款项。故C选项正确。

    Practice 1  Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a comer: no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An English wit, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway compartment, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say; he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion.  It is a well-known fact that the English have an obsession with their weather and that, given half a chance, they will talk about it at length. Some people argue that it is because English weather defies forecast and hence is a source of interest and speculation to everyone. This may be so. If a foreigner wants to start a conversation with an Englishman (or woman) but is at a loss to know where to begin, he could-do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will provoke an answer from even the most reserved of Englishmen.

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    一般来说,英国人沉静、腼腆、生性矜持,只有熟人之间才会轻松自在。在陌生人和外国人面前,英国人往往显得拘谨,甚至局促不安。你只要在某天早上或晚上坐一趟上下班短途列车,就会发现此说不谬。一本正经的男女上班族坐在车厢里看报或倚角打盹:谁也不说话。老实说,此刻要是有人说话,反倒显得异乎寻常。有一位爱说俏皮话的英国人,曾煞有介事地对海外游客提出这样的建议:“走进车厢后,同所有乘客一一握手。”不用说,他是在开玩笑。社会上有一种不成文但却是尽人皆知的行为规范,谁要是违反了,就会立即招致人们的猜疑。
    大家都知道,英国人对天气情有独钟。一说到天气,话就没个完。有人说,这是因为英国的天气无法预测,故而天气成了人人感兴趣、人人爱猜测的话题。也许是这样。一个外国人要想和一个英国人(不论男女)攀谈,但又不知道怎样起头,他不妨先提提天气。谈天气保管错不了,就连最不爱说话的英国人也会搭上两句。

  • 第14题:

    Currently, every college student knows that ability is important. They would like to attend various training programs and apply for different certificates so that they are more competent. Do you think that attending training programs and getting more certificates can improve competence? Write an essay of about 400 words entitled: Do More Certificates Stand for Better Ability?


    正确答案:Do More Certificates Stand for Better Ability? This is the very hot season for the college graduates to hunt for jobs in the market. You may see a lot of graduates holding a variety of certificates indicating their versatile skills. Every college student knows that ability is important. They would like to attend various training programs and apply for different certificates so that they are more competent. However can attending training programs and getting more certificates improve their competence? As far as I am concerned the certificates do not really mean competence. First of all the certificates are simply several pieces of papers proving that you have attended some training programs. Whether you are competent or not really depends upon your cleverness and experience. For example many English majors have passed the TEM-8 an English test specific for the language students. Does that mean their English is perfect once getting such a certificate? Not exactly. The fact is you may find more often than not that many students speak broken English and write poor English. The reason is that they may assume that a certificate can prove their English is very good. So they stop their daily exercises and training and rest on the satisfaction of getting their certificates. Secondly the ability must be obtained through hard work and long practice. The students should attach more importance to obtaining the ability rather than getting the certificates. The social practices help them make the book knowledge become their own. The certificates should stimulate them to study hard and become more excellent and competent. As for the recruiting companies they prefer the students who can put their book knowledge into daily use which is far more practical than the certificates. Finally the students should try to make themselves more marketable. They need to give up the unrealistic assumption and realize the true fact. To sum up the certificates do not really mean competence. What we need to do is integrate the certificates with the development of our competence. The two should go hand in hand to make us capable persons.
