C. hasn't offered D. hadn't offered
答案与解析 D 句意:假如昨天哈罗德没送我们回家,我们会叫辆出租车回家的。由主句中的would have called a taxi可知,从句是对过去状况的虚拟,故从句谓语用“had done”,因此选hadn't offered。

A.followed B. should follow
C. had followed D. would follow

3.His suggestion that you ________ a second time sounds reasonable.
A.try B. tried

语 篇 提 能
Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the London District of Southward was prospering (富强), and a very important and far reaching development was taking place at an area lying just beside the church now known as Southward Cathedral (大教堂). The Rose Theatre, the Swan, the Hope Playhouse and the Bear Garden, were set up here along with the famous Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted.
William Shakespeare (1564~1616) was an English poet and playwright whose works are considered the greatest in English literature. He is honoured in Southward Cathedral today by the modern memorial window in the south aisle (通道). The window was designed by Christopher Webb in 1954, after an earlier window had been destroyed in the war, and describes characters from Shakespeare's plays. Below it is a figure of Shakespeare, carved by Henry McCarthy in 1912, set against a background of the seventeenthcentury Southward in relief (浮雕), showing the Globe Theatre, Winchester Palace and the Tower of St. Savior's Church. This memorial was provided by public support and was finished in 1911, and every year a birthday celebration, attended by many great actors and actresses, is held here in honour of Shakespeare's genius. Shakespeare's brother Edmund was buried here in 1607, and although the position of Edmund's grave is unknown, he is honored by a marked stone.
1.Which of the following did Shakespeare once act in?
A.The Rose Theatre.
B. The Swan.
C. The Hope Playhouse and Bear Garden.
D. The Globe Theatre.
答案与解析 D 在第一段的最终一句, in which从句是一个非限制性定语从句, which指前面的大剧院,看出Shakespeare acted的地点是the Globe Theatre。
2.Which is RIGHT?
A.The first window to memorize Shakespeare was built in 1954.
B. Christopher Webb again designed a window to memorize Shakespeare after the war.
C. A figure of Shakespeare carved in 1912 was set in the second window.
D. William Shakespeare's works are not famous in the world.
答案与解析 C 从其次段的“Below it is a figure of Shakespeare ...”一句看出在1912年雕刻的莎士比亚的塑像被安置在重建的纪念馆里。A项错在“in 1954”; B项错在“again”。
3.Which are the symbols of the seventeenthcentury
Southward?
A.The Tower of St. Savior's Church and Winchester Palace.
B. The Globe Theatre, the Tower of St. Savior's Church and Winchester Palace.
C. The Rose Theatre, the Tower of St. Savior's Church and Winchester Palace.
D. The Rose Theatre and the Tower of St. Savior's Church.
答案与解析 B 从其次段的“showing...”看出,在重修的memorial里,有3个景点代表Southward。
4.In honour of Shakespeare's genius, ________.
A.a commemoration service is held every year on Edmund's birthday
B. a special service is held every year on Shakespeare's birthday
C. Shakespeare's brother's name was carved on a stone
D. Edmund was specially buried here in 1607
答案与解析 B 从文章的最终看出,为了纪念莎士比亚每年举办一次特殊的聚会,在莎士比亚的生日那天,而不是在他弟弟的生日那一天。
B
No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed” until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting (背诵) it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening (提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves (值得) a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential (基本的) nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make_room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
5.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ________.
A.discuss it with others
B. analyze it by oneself
C. copy it down in a notebook
D. practise reading it aloud
答案与解析 D 从“Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, ...”看出练习朗诵诗歌是比较好的事情。符合D项所述,要进一步理解诗歌,应当练习朗诵诗歌。
6.According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ________.
A.to understand life B. to enjoy poetry
C. to become teachers D. to become poets
答案与解析 B 从第三段中的“I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.”看出作为英语老师的目的之一是使得同学宠爱诗歌。符合B项的to enjoy poetry。
7.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?
A.More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.
C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
答案与解析 A 从“It also deserves (值得) a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.”看出诗歌在语言和文学教学中占有更重要位置。符合A项的“要更加重视诗歌的教学”; stress“强调”。
8.The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by ________.
A.“build a booth”
B. “provide equipment”
C. “leave a certain amount of time”
D. “set aside enough space”
答案与解析 C 从原文“make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it”看出在教室内为听和思考诗歌留出空间,意指“leave a certain amount of time”留出肯定的时间。
