Knights, scholars and highwaymen (拦路强盗)or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy, Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servantsall held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave wele to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own towns residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and mens interests that make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, bined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.文章大意：本文主要讲述了莎士比亚到伦敦后的经历，他很快适应了那里的生活，并把自己所观察到的事情融入自己的创作。1What was London like in Shakespeares eyes when he first went there?ADirty and small.BStrange and interesting.CInfamous and terrible.DFamiliar and modern.答案：B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“a very interesting place”和第五段中的“all these strange sights”可知，在Shakespeare的眼中，伦敦是一个有趣而陌生的城市，即B项正确。2Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?AShakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.BShakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.CShakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.DShakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.答案：C推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Shakespeare来到伦敦不久之后，通过观察和学习了解了伦敦，并适应了那里的生活，由此可推断出，Shakespeare擅长观察日常生活并从中学习，故C项正确。3What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 5 refer to?ACrowd.BSight.CFace.DResident.答案：B词义猜测题。画线词后的“as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods”的意思为“正如他以前所学到的田野和树林的秘密那样”，根据这句话可知，one指的是像田野和树林一样的景象，故B项正确。4The passage probably es from_.Aa posterBa textbookCan advertisementDan announcement答案：B推理判断题。本文主要讲述了莎士比亚到伦敦的经历，所以这篇文章最有可能出现在一本教材中，故B项正确。B(xx山东省威海市二模)Big cats have existed on the earth for millions of years, though scientists arent sure exactly how long. But a new study indicates that a skull(颅骨) of a snow leopard(豹) relative that was recently unearthed is 4.4 million years old. That makes it the oldest big cat fossil(化石) ever found.A team of US and Chinese scientists unearthed the skull in Tibet. This creature is not a direct ancestor to big cats, but it is closely related to the snow leopard, study leader Jack Tseng told the Associated Press. The fossil lends evidence to the belief that big cats existed in Asia and spread out from there.Big cats are at the top of the food chain and have few predators of their own. Big cats include snow leopards, clouded leopards, tigers and lions. Based on genetic judgements, most scientists believe they first existed in Central Asia. But previously, the oldest known big cat fossil was 3.6 million years old and found in Africa.The new fossil findings were published in the November 13 issue of the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. Tseng and his team were fossil hunting in the Himalayas in xx when they discovered some bones, including the buried cat skull. The researchers were able to determine its age by studying the surrounding rocks and soil. The skull indicates that the animal was about the size of a clouded leopard, which can grow up to 50 pounds. In xx, the team returned to unearth more cat bones.David Polly from Indiana University told the Associated Press that the fossil is “convincingly older than the_current_record_holder”. He added that there could be even older big cat fossils in the Tibetan plateau to uncover.文章大意：本文讲述了最新考古发现一个大型猫科动物的颅骨化石。5What does the newly unearthed skull prove?ABig cats might have their origins in Asia.BThe oldest fossil is 4.4 million years old.CThe snow leopard is the oldest big cat.DThe skull is of big cats direct ancestor.答案：A推理判断题。由第二段最后一句话“The fossil lends evidence to the belief that big cats existed in Asia and spread out from there.”可推知，该化石使我们相信大型猫科动物起源于亚洲，然后繁衍到其他地方。6What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?Arelatives.Benemies.Cpartners.Dprotectors答案：B猜测词义题。所在句意为“大型猫科动物位于食物链的顶端，所以几乎没有天敌”。7How do the researchers know the skulls age?ABy measuring its size and forehead.BBy examining other bones around it.CBy studying its chemical position.DBy exploring the rocks and soil around it.答案：D细节理解题。由第四段第三句话“The researchers were able to determine its age by studying the surrounding rocks and soil.”可知，通过研究化石周围的岩石和土壤来测量化石的年代。8Where was “the current record holder” in the last paragraph found?AAsia.BAfrica.CAmerica.DAustralia. 答案：B推理判断题。画线词意为“现在的纪录保持者”，应该指的是新化石发现之前的最古老的化石；而第三段最后一句话“But previously, the oldest known big cat fossil was 3.6 million years old and found in Africa.”可知，它是在非洲发现的。.七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。Many people want to grow their own garden, but the simply do not have the room.
