详细内容

plete report of his life, but it is monly aepted that he was born on April 23, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. We are also told that he was the third of the eight children and he was probably educated at the local grammar school, where the main subject taught was Latin, both spoken and written. Maybe the classical writer’s they had studied in the classroom influence Shakespeare’s plays and poetry, so he gave us so many vivid characters in his works. It is not known what Shakespeare did when he left school, probably at the age of fourteen, as was usual. But it is said that in November 1582 he married Anne Hathaway, the daughter of a local farmer. It is also said that when they were married William was eighteen and Anne was twenty-six.
译文：可以肯定的是，人们喜爱这部戏剧。当它问世时，人们热爱哈姆雷特，为可怜的奥菲利亚的死而哭泣；他们叫喊着要让凶手克劳迪娅斯去死。据报道，该剧在环球剧场的一次演出，观众曾达两千人。关于莎士比亚，你还了解多少？关于他的生平没有一个完整的记述，但人们普遍认为他于1564年4月23日出生于埃文河畔的斯特拉福德. 我们还了解到他家共有8个孩子，他排行第三。他可能在当地的一所文法学校上过学。那所学校的主要科目是拉丁文，包括口语和写作。可能是学校里学到的古典主义文学影响了他的戏剧和诗歌，因此他在作品中为我们塑造了许多鲜活的人物。关于莎士比亚离开学校后的情况我们不得而知，按常理，应该在14岁。但是据说在1582年11月，他和安娜•赫萨维结婚了，她是当地一个农民的女儿。据说他们结婚时，威廉18岁，安娜26岁。

puters have many uses today. puters can solve difficult problems and control other machines. Many people use small puters called calculators(计算器) to solve simple math problems quickly. Scientists use large puters to solve many problems at the same time. You can play games with puters, and some puters can help you learn languages. The Kurzweil Reading Machine is a special kind of puter. It can read books for blind people.
To use the Kurzweil machine, a blind person can simply open the book and put it down on the scanner(扫描器). The machine “reads” the words on the page. When one page is finished, the blind person turns the page and puts the book on the scanner again. The Kurzweil machine can read in a normal voice or in a special fast voice. It can read words with small letters and large letters.
Blind people like the Kurzweil machine because they can “read” anything with it: newspapers, magazines, books, even typed letters. Many libraries now have Kurzweil machine for blind people to use. The Kurzweil machine can also help shortsighted children learn to read.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person.
When Dr. Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important.
So he never watered his trees. He'd planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They're very big and strong now. I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈祷) that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, they could face it strongly and won't be beaten down.
()39. What does the underlined word “shallow” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A. Near to the surface of the earth.B. Short.
C. Thin.D. Weak.
()40. The writer’s trees shake a lot whenever a cold wind blows because ______.
A. he has never beaten his trees with a rolled-up newspaper
B. he didn't often water his trees
C. his trees are younger than Dr. Gibbs’
D. he has done too many things for his trees
()41. The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that his sons will ______.
A. not catch a cold in the rain easily
B. be strong enough in the cold wind in winter
C. be better at planting trees
D. be stronger in their lives
()42. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Watering TreesB. Growing Roots
C. How to Be a Father D. How to Plant Trees

*C
Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to aept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children, shines as a leader during our times together.
The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.
()43. What is the text mainly about?
A. The experience of the only child being with mother.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The basic needs of children.
()44. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.
A. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly
()45. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?
A. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys bee better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
()46. The author seems to believe that ___________.
A. having brothers and sisters is funB. it’s tiring to look after three children
C. every child needs parents’ full attentionD. parents should watch others’ children

四、根据对话内容，用方框中所给词的适当形式填空。（其中有一词多余）
report, so, parents, same, understand, child, that, much
A generation gap (代沟) has bee a serious prob¬lem. I read a 1. about it in the newspaper. Some children have killed themselves after quarries (争吵) with 2.______.
