【题目】阅读理解

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C D )中,选出最佳选项。

Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays that he wrote. However,not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man,except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford upon Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know,for example,how long it lasted,but we presume that he attended the local grammar school,where the principal subject taught was Latin.

Nothing certain is known for what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London. According to a local legend,he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner,Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he was apprenticed to a Stratford butcher,but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.

Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth,the world can be grateful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he had no money or friends there,but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In_time,as he became familiar figure to the actors in the theatre,they stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.

【题目】阅读下面的文言文,完成下列各题。

张衡字平子,南阳西鄂人也。衡少善属文,游于三辅,因入京师,观太学,遂通五经,贯六艺。虽才高于世,而无骄尚之情。常从容淡静,不好交接俗人。永元中,举孝廉不行,连辟公府不就。时天下承平日久,自王侯以下莫不逾侈。衡乃拟班固《两都》作《二京赋》,因以讽谏。精思傅会,十年乃成。大将军邓骘奇其才,累召不应。

衡善机巧,尤致思于天文阴阳历算。安帝雅闻衡善术学,公车特征拜郎中,再迁为太史令。遂乃研核阴阳,妙尽璇机之正,作浑天仪,著《灵宪》《算罔论》,言甚详明。

顺帝初,再转复为太史令。衡不慕当世,所居之官辄积年不徙。自去史职,五载复还。

阳嘉元年,复造候风地动仪。以精铜铸成,员径八尺,合盖隆起,形似酒尊,饰以篆文山龟鸟兽之形。中有都柱,傍行八道,施关发机。外有八龙,首衔铜丸,下有蟾蜍,张口承之。其牙机巧制,皆隐在尊中,覆盖周密无际。如有地动,尊则振龙,机发吐丸,而蟾蜍衔之。振声激扬,伺者因此觉知。虽一龙发机,而七首不动,寻其方面,乃知震之所在。验之以事,合契若神。自书典所记,未之有也。尝一龙机发而地不觉动,京师学者咸怪其无征。后数日驿至,果地震陇西,于是皆服其妙。自此以后,乃令史官记地动所从方起。

……

永和初,出为河间相。时国王骄奢,不遵典宪;又多豪右,共为不轨。衡下车,治威严,整法度,知奸党名姓,一时收禽,上下肃然,称为政理。视事三年,上书乞骸骨,征拜尚书。年六十二,永和四年卒。

1下列语句中加点字的解释不正确的一项是( )

A.时天下平日久 承:连续

B.所居之官积年不徙 辄:总是

C.傍行八道,施关 发:打开

D.知奸党名姓,一时收禽 阴:暗地里

2下列各组句子中,加点词语的意义和用法相同的一组是( )

A

B

C

D

3下列对文意的理解, 不正确的一项是( )

A.传记先叙其才,“少善属文”说明他具有先天的禀赋,而“游于三辅,因入京师,观太学”说明他注重社会实践。“通五经,贯六艺”是其才能的集中体现。

B.在叙其才后紧接着叙其德。“从容淡静,不好交接俗人”,具有谦虚稳重、超尘脱俗的品格,“不行”“不就”“不应”表现他不慕荣利的德行。

C.介绍地动仪虽不足二百字,但详尽记述制造时间、质地、大小、形状、内外结构、装饰、功用等,这段文字生动形象,文采斐然。

D.“阴知奸党名姓”表现其政治智慧,“上下肃然,称为政理”表现其卓然的政绩,寥寥几笔却写出了一位真实可感的廉吏形象。

4把文中画横线的语句翻译成现代汉语。

(1)永元中,举孝廉不行,连辟公府不就。

(2)验之以事,合契若神。自书典所记,未之有也。

【题目】

Hobbs was an orphan (孤儿). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.

One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what Id like to do—painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it's too much for one and too little for the other.”

“Here is the reading of your uncle's will (遗嘱),” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.” “Yes, I see. I'll do that,” said the young man.
