Every once in a while you will read some article about a so-called scholar unearthing mateEvery once in a while you will read some article about a so-called scholar unearthing material that is supposed to prove that William Shakespeare did not really write the works attributed to him. Many alternative authors have been suggested most prominently, Christopher Marlowe Francis Bacon. One proponent of Bacon as author of Shakespeares plays actually looked for words like fat and lard and calculated how their places in the texts of the plays proved that Bacon authored them. Any schoolboy can see the fallacy of such an argument and yet many adult readers of newspaper articles, written by men who have never done any research on Shakespeare, are taken in by the arguments proposed against Shakespeares authorship. It is true that we have no manuscripts of the plays as they came from Shakespeares hand. After all, he wrote the plays to be acted, and the actors used the authors manuscripts. However, almost half the plays appeared in print under the authors name during his lifetime which ended in 1616. A few years later, in 1623, two of Shakespeares actor friends published a great folio(对开本 ，对开的)volume with thirty-six plays and put Shakespeares name on the title page. They even got Ben Johnson, Shakespeares great rival playwright, to write a poetic introduction for the folio volume. There are other arguments I might adduce(引证)to vindicate Shakespeares authorship. Suffice it to say, a blanket argument against those who deny Shakespeares authorship is simply this: If Shakespeare did not write the plays attributed to him, it was someone else by the same name.The main idea of the first paragraph is that_.Asome scholars have proved that Shakespeares works were not his ownBsome scholars do not believe Shakespeares works were his ownCsome pseudo-scholars try to prove that Shakespeares works were not his ownDsome pseudo-scholars take it for granted that Shakespeares works were his own正确答案：C参见第一段，so-called与本题的正确选项C中pseudo对应。由此判断应选C。6.

Scientists were embroiled (使卷入) last week in an international row over genetically modiScientists were embroiled (使卷入) last week in an international row over genetically modified cotton (GM cotton).A study in China suggested for the first time that the crop was permanently damaging the environment and that insects were building up resistance to it.The study, by the Nanjing institute of Environmental Science, combined the laboratory and field work from four Chinese scientific institutes. The study was done over a several - year period.GM Cotton had a gene resistance to the cotton bollworm (棉铃虫) and isolated from the bacterium (细菌) named Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), but the study found that it harms the natural parasitic (寄生的) enemies of the cotton bollworm.It also indicated that populations of pests besides the bollworm had increased in Bt cotton fields and some had replaced the bollworm as the primary pest.However, the leading GM company, the USs Monsanto, which controls more than 80 per cent of the Bt cotton grown worldwide, dismissed the research.It said that the industry has always cited GM cotton as its biggest success, because it can increase yields by up to 60 per cent and reduce the need for pesticides (杀虫剂) by 80 per cent.But, unfortunately for the industry, (80) the scientists also found that the resistance of Bt cotton to bollworm decreased significantly over time.Why scientists say no to GM cotton?ABecause the cotton was genetically modified.BBecause the cotton was found to damage the environment.CBecause the cotton harms the bollworm.DBecause Monsanto dismissed the research.正确答案：B解析：第二段中谈到，中国科学家发现Bt棉花会永久性地伤害环境，并会使昆虫累积抗性，因此在国际间就引发了一场争论。可见，只有B是正确的。16.
