5.Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,made full use of the greatest resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English:Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand!There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it.Such a study is well worth the effort,even though some aspects of English usage,and the meaning of many words,have changed since Shakespeare's day.
However,it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author.We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564in Stratford-on-Avon,and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town,but of this we cannot be sure.We know he was married there in 1582to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children.We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces.But this is almost all that we do know.
However,what is important about Shakespeare's life is not its incidental details butits products,the plays and the poems.For many years scholars have been trying to add a few fats about Shakespeare's life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics have been theorizing about the plays.Sometimes,indeed,it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disaapear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.
Fortunately this is not likely to happen.Shakespeare's people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere,and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.

1.The first paragraph mainly deals withD
A.the great length of each chapter
B.the great varieties in writing styles
C.the richness of the content in Shakespeare's works
D.the rich English language used by Shakespeare
2.According to the author,which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare?C
A.His date of birth.
B.His marriage.
C.His life in the Grammar School.
D.His date of death.
3.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3thatA.
A.Not all the comments on Shakespeare's works have produced good efforts
B.The details of Shakespeare's life are more attractive than his literary works
C.Scholars have successfully collected facts about Shakespeare's life
D.Critics are more interested in Shakespeare's play than his poetry
4.What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3mean?B
A.People don't consider the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.
B.People pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.
C.People can't read the poetry of Shakespeare any more.
D.The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.

分析 莎士比亚,也许比任何其他作家,都更充分利用了英语资源,我们大多数人在我们的正常就业中使用约五千英语词汇,莎士比亚在他的作品中使用约二万五千单词!但是对于这样伟大的作家,我们对其作品的评论比对其诗歌本身的关注还要多.

解答 1.D 主旨大意题.根据第一段尤其是Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,made full use of the greatest resources ofthe English language.可知,莎士比亚的作品里所用的丰富的词汇是无人能及的,并不是他的写作风格、内容的丰富多样.故选D.
2.C 细节理解题.根据第二段的He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town,but of this we cannot be sure.可知,几乎可以肯定他上了镇上的语法学校,但这一点我们不能肯定.故选C.
3.A推理判断题.根据倒数第二段可知,诗评之多淹没了诗作本身,出现了只见评论不见诗的局面.所以不是所有关于莎士比亚作品的评论都产生了良好的效果.故选A.
4.B句意理解题.根据本句前的For many years scholars have been tryingto add a few facts about Shakespeare's life…and for an equally long timecritics have been theorizing about the plays.可知,学者及评论家们一直在丰富莎士比亚的生平事迹以及评论莎剧.所以,有时人们对莎士比亚作品的评论比对其诗歌本身的关注还要多.故选B.

点评 本文是文学艺术类阅读,主要考查细节理解题和推理判断题.在做细节理解题时,首先根据题目要求迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语.认真比较选项和文中细节的区别,在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

20.If you talk to a man in a language he understands,that goes to his head.If you talk to him in his own language,that goes to his heart.-Nelson Mandela
But learning a language can seem difficult,so I'm going to provide an overview of the general strategy before we get into the specifics.
Here is the breakdown.We'll go more in depth into each of these later on.
1.Get the right resources for learning:a grammar book,memorization software,and films or books.
2.Get a private tutor.You want one for at least a month.I recommend four hours per day.
3.Attempt to speak and think only in the new language.Every time you can't remember a word,put that word into your m emorization software.Practice your vocabulary daily.
4.Find friends,language partners,and other speakers of the language.Once you can have basic conversations with your private tutor,you need to find other partners.If you haven't already,think about moving to the country where the language is spoken.Consider a group class.Practice continuously.Stop speaking English.
That's the basic strategy.Again,this strategy is intensive,because learning a language in three months is a difficult task.If you'd prefer to learn the language more slowly or you don't have the ability to move to a new country and practice 4-8 hours a day,the n you can modify the plan.It is extremely important that you practice every day,however-20 minutes a day is much better than once or twice a week.
Some of these concepts are hard to understand through the written word,so I created a video series,just for Zen Habits readers,that teaches the steps to learn a language.Get the Hack The System Language Learning Videos here.

10.Whether rich or poor,parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain,according to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans.
For years,educators have thought the strongest predictor of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated.But,the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education.
Being a sociologist,Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesser-educated parents benefit the most from having books in the home.What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead?The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed.Evans said,"Even a little bit goes a long way.Having as few as 20books in the home still has a significant impact on   motivating a child to a higher level of education,and the more books you add,the greater benefit the children get."
The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children's educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents,the father's occupation or the economic level of the country.
Having books in the home is twice as important as the father's education level,and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country.Surprisingly,the difference in educational attainment for children born in developed country and children born in developing country was just 2years,less than two-thirds of the effect that having 500or more books in the home had on children.

8.In the past educators held a point of view thatD.

C.parents'level of education had nothing to do with their children's levels of education
D.children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of education

14.Have you ever felt that you want more friends?Have you found that you don't know how to make friends?Don't worry; it is easier than it looks.
Start with small actions.If you're uncomfortable or embarrassed with long conversations with people,start by just saying"hi"and asking how the person is doing.Even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning,people will usually still like you.When it comes to conversations,remember"F.O.R.".It stands for family,occupation(职业)and recreation(休闲).These are the three topics that you're most likely to be asked about when you meet someone new.Most people feel comfortable talking about these three topics.The great thing is that you can communicate with someone new in these three areas.
Honesty is the best policy.In friendship,"honesty"is the fundamental quality that one must have.One should always be honest with his or her friends.Don't laugh at people's faults(错误).Praise them honestly and openly.Say you're sorry if you hurt your friend.
Give more than you take.Be there when they need you.Encourage them; we all often need encouragement.Encourage their dreams.Life seems almost meaningless without them.Wish your friends luck.Examine your purposes before you"help out".Love them and never forget them.
