13．When Shakespeare was twenty-one，he went to London to try his fortune in that great city，and a very interesting place was the London of his day．
There was the famous London Bridge and St．Paul's Cathedral，and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops．
Then，too，there were the daily crowds where people from all over the world could be seen．Knights，scholars and the highwayman （攔路強(qiáng)盜）or thief，who had been famous for his clever robberies，passed by each other．Here，also，were noblemen dressed in gold，from Italy and Spain and France； slaves from Spanish America，sea captains and ministers，soldiers and servants-all held by chance or interest within the gray walls which circled London，and whose gates gave welcome 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 town's 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 men's 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，combined with his own genius，that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived．

分析 本文講述了文學(xué)大師莎士比亞年輕時(shí)去到倫敦第一天時(shí)遇到的有趣的事情．
解答 DBC
25．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第五段可知，Shakespeare來到倫敦不久之后，通過觀察和學(xué)習(xí)了解了倫敦，并適應(yīng)了那里的生活，由此可推斷出，Shakespeare擅長觀察日常生活并從中學(xué)習(xí)．故選D．
26．B 詞義猜測(cè)題．畫線詞后的as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods意思為"正如他以前所學(xué)到的田野和樹林的秘密那樣"，根據(jù)這句話可知，one指的是"像田野和樹林一樣的景象"．故選B．
27．C 推理判斷題．本文主要講述了莎士比亞到倫敦的經(jīng)歷，所以這篇文章最有可能出現(xiàn)在一本教材中．故選C．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)．
