20.Mr William Shakespeare and the Internet
Explanation of Contents
This is the fourth edition of these pages.It is hard to believe,but once again they are new and improved.My motive in publishing these pages remains to help and stimulate others in Shakespeare studies,and especially those who might contribute their work to the Internet.The spirit of altruism (利他主義) that originally built the Internet is not quite gone,though,sadly,through the pressure of time and profit has lessened.
A major new addition to the pages is a Shakespeare Timeline,which is an online biography mounted at this site.The problems with searching for Shakespeare resources using the available Search Engines are:
----It is difficult to focus most searches so that you get a manageable number of relevant hits;
----It is impossible by simply reading an abstract(摘要) to make any distinction between the output of a Junior High School student and that of a professional researcher.
Another change in these pages over previous editions is the"What's News"page.If you come away from these pages with the feeling that they are very useful but slightly pedantic (學(xué)究的),I will have realized my goal.
An Apology
I am continually apologizing to the many who have written me requesting revisions of the pages.We are all too busy.I simply have not had the time to dedicate to these pages that I wish.But I love the material and so have,at long last,made some time to update them.
A Reminder to Young Students
These pages contain the best links I can find to Shakespeare on the Internet.As a reminder,I would say I very much enjoy hearing from people who view and use these pages.If you want to do Shakespeare research using the web,this page is a great starting point,and I keep it as current as I can.The web is in its infancy(初期in bringing good,scholarly content to students.Don't forget the best,if not quickest,resources are still in your library.
33.The passage is written toA.
A.introduce the fourth edition of these pages
B.make an apology to readers
C.show off these pages to readers
D.let Shakespeare researchers buy these pages
34.When searching for Shakespeare resources using Search Engines,youB.
A.can easily recognize what the abstract means
B.will waste some time in finding what you want
C.will often come into the"What's News"pages
D.will find something special on your computers
35.Which of the following can best conclude the last paragraph?D
A.The writer will often read letters from those who use these pages.
B.The writer of the passage is very selfish.
C.The web was just created four years ago.
D.Shakespeare researchers should first of all refer to these pages.

分析 作者通過講述自己修改的第四版網(wǎng)頁的經(jīng)歷告誡年輕人要想得到真正的知識,不能只依靠網(wǎng)絡(luò),圖書館是最好的選擇.

解答 33.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第一句話"This is the fourth edition of these pages"可知,作者寫這篇文章是為了介紹他的產(chǎn)品,故選A.B項(xiàng)對應(yīng)文章的第二個(gè)小標(biāo)題,但不是作者的主要目的,C、D項(xiàng)表述不正確.
34.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段中的"It is difficult to focus most searches so that you get a manageable number of relevant hits"可知,使用普通的搜索引擎,用戶很難把注意力集中在有限的真正有用的信息上,有就是說,會(huì)浪費(fèi)大量的時(shí)間找到真正想要的信息,所以選B.A、C、D三項(xiàng)表述不正確.
35.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段第三句中的"If you want to do Shakespeare research using the web,this page is a great starting point"可知,作者在向那些利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)研究莎士比亞的研究者推薦這個(gè)網(wǎng)頁.所以選D.A、C項(xiàng)表述是正確的,但不是作者寫作最后一段的主要目的.B項(xiàng)表述不正確.故選D.

點(diǎn)評 本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主,細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息?或是其變體.搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時(shí)使用的具體事實(shí)、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié).做這類題一般采用尋讀法?即先讀題,然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文,找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子,再對相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對比,找出答案.

8.During the past Spring Festival,many children may have received red packets from their families.But Xing Pu,a 40-year-old economist,is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.
Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years.He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success,help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消費(fèi))around the country.
Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor (扶貧) and pro-rural(惠農(nóng))policies,including increasing spending on public health care and calling off the agricultural tax.But the lower-income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11-year high in prices and recent snowstorms.
Xing said while making the draft,he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore.Earlier this year,the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts(救濟(jì))to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income.As for in China,"We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor,"said Xing.
Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet,many other economists criticized it as unpractical.Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation.But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.
"To better use the increase of money,handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time.It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life,"said Qiao Xinsheng,an economic professor.
25.What has the government done to help the lower-income group?B
A.Spending less on public health care.
B.Carrying out pro-poor policies.
C.Handing out money to every Chinese.
D.Increasing the agricultural tax.
26.According to some experts,what is better than giving out money?D
A.Supplying food to everyone every day.
B.Increasing the government income.
C.Controlling the rising of prices.
D.Cutting the price of energy use in daily life.
27.Xing Pu's ideas of giving red packets to every Chinese citizen mainly came fromA.
A.the US and Singapore governments offering cash handouts to their citizens
B.children receiving red packets from their families
C.the government's increasing spending on public health care
D.the rising prices in the country.

15.Having experienced a shocking electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf James Franco's world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20minutes later,lying face down in muddy water.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a tree and a muddy road.When Mrs.Franco came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the hock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.
21.The reason why James attempted to kill himself was thatB.

B.he had to live in a dark and silent world

B.Putting an end to his life
C.Taking a walk with a stick                
D.Sheltering from the rain under a tree
23.What does the underlined word"compellent"in paragraph 3mean?C
A.wrong              
B.unexplained      
C.convincing        
D.true

D.A Terrible Electrical Accident.

9.Education is not an end,but a means to an end.In other words,we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them.Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all-whether rich or poor,clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think to be"low"work,and,in fact,work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor.We can live without education,but we die if we have no food.If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses,we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact,when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life,it means that we must be educated in such a way that,firstly,each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and,secondly,that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society,and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work.Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

33.According to the passage,the purpose of education isD.
A.to build a perfect world 
B.to choose a system of education
C.to let everyone receive education fit for him 
D.to prepare children mainly for their future work
34.Which of the following is true according to the passage?C
A.It's hard for university graduates to find jobs.
B.No one would like to do work with hands.
C.Education is not enough to build a perfect nation.
D.University graduates are ashamed of their work.
35.In the writer's opinion,A.
A.a(chǎn)ll the social problems can't be solved by education
B.free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C.free education won't help to solve social problems
D.education can settle all of the world's problems.

10.I used to joke that I spoke French like a 3-year-old.Until I met a French 3-year-old and couldn't keep the conversation.This was after a year of intense study,including at least two hours a day with self-instruction software and weekend classes,followed by two weeks of an immersion program at one of the top language schools in France.
My failure was in fact quite unremarkable.Despite advertising claims,learning a foreign language is a challenging task for any adult.In the end,though,it turns out that spending a year"not learning"French may have been the best things I could have done for my 57-year-old brain.
In the last few years.I was unable to hold a list of four grocery items in my mind.So to reassure myself that nothing was wrong,I took a cognitive assessment just before tackling French.The result wasanything but reassuring:I scored below average for my age group in nearly all of the categories,especially on the composite memory test and the visual memory test.
After a year of struggling with the language,I retook cognitive assessment,and the results shocked me.My scores had improved,placing me above average in 7of 10categories,and average in the other three.Studying a language had been like drinking from a mental fountain of youth.
What might explain such an improvement?Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Northwestern Uni versity noted that the cognitive tasks involved in language study-like working memory,inductive reasoning,sound discrimination and task switching-map closely related to the areas of the brain that are most associated with declines due to aging.
If my experience is any indication,you might be better off  by studying a language.Not only is that a far more useful and enjoyable activity than an abstract brain game,but as a reward for your efforts,you can treat yourself to a trip abroad.That's why I plan to spend the next year"not learning"Italian.
