【題目】閱讀理解
The writings of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.
Shakespeare's work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400yearold version of English that is about as inviting as toothache.
Still, in Britain schools, it is compulsory to study the bard(詩(shī)人), and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment(憎恨) or both.
This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.
I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China. I have never regretted it. There is something in literature that people want, even if they don't read books. You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice being a case in point. These popular adaptations may help increase people's interest in the classics.
Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare's actual play. If that is the case, then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet. His greatness is in his language. Reading someone else's rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.
（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The language used in classics is no longer in use today.
B.British students usually find compulsory reading dull.
C.Only those studying literature read Shakespeare's works.
D.For British people, Shakespeare's works are no longer classics.
（2）According to the passage, the writer .
A.has liked literary classics since an early age
B.was forced to read the classics for a PhD
C.turned to literature to seek answers in his teens
D.thinks only people who read books like literature
（3）The underlined phrase ＂a case in point＂ in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ＂＂.
A.a great hit
B.a good example
C.a movie adaptation
D.a popular phenomenon

【答案】
（1）B
（2）C
（3）B
【解析】本文是一篇議論文，莎士比亞是偉大的詩(shī)人、劇作家，但是現(xiàn)在除了那些要學(xué)文學(xué)的學(xué)生，很少有學(xué)生閱讀他的作品。我認(rèn)為莎士比亞的偉大在于他所用的語(yǔ)言，讀原文是很值得的。
（1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可推測(cè)出英國(guó)的學(xué)生通常認(rèn)為強(qiáng)制閱讀是枯燥的，故選B。
（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的＂I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.＂可知作者年輕時(shí)從書本中尋找答案。故選C。
（3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。上文提到不讀書的人看改編、節(jié)選的電視或電影，所以此處以Pride and Prejudice為舉例說明節(jié)選的、改編的電影，故選B。

Last week I went to visit to my former neighbor, Mr. Yang. He and I used to living next to each other for many years. About half a year ago, an order came which the old building, along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street.
So I had to move apart. Mr. Yang now lives in the suburbs near a beautiful park. His new apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area. Therefore, Mr. Yang doesn't seem to worry about the long distance. He says that new subway line is to be built in a few year and he is sure life will be better in the future.

As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others.
This is really a common phenomena in our life. The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to playmobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people involved in phones fail to communicate well with these around them.
As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help their work and study. Meanwhile, care much about their family and friends rather than mobile phones.
