He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.‎ During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeare's play "The Comedy of Errors" Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus. For his play "Macbeth", Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the intensity（强度）of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.‎ Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the city’s tradesmen. Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.‎ It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare’s works have influenced the world culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English ‎ language. During his time, the English language was changing. Many new words from other languages were being added. Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of "critic", "mountaineer” and "eyeball". Many common expressions in English come from his plays, including "pomp and circumstance（装腔作势）"from "Othello", "full circle（绕圈子地）" from "King Lear", etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented. Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.‎ Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid off.‎ ‎1．What can we infer from the passage？ ‎ A．Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.‎ B．Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.‎ C．The experience of living in London helped little with Shakespeare's works.‎ D．Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.‎ ‎2．Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works in_____________.‎ A．"King Lear" B．"The Comedy of Errors" C．"Macbeth" D．"Othello"‎ ‎3．Why could Shakespeare's works survive his time？‎ A．Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.‎ B．Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.‎ C．Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.‎ D．Because his works were rich in imagination and language.‎ ‎4．Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on　　　　.‎ A．the English language B．paintings C．television D．music and dance ‎5．The passage is mainly about　　　　.‎ A．an introduction to Shakespeare’s life and his works B．the main features(特征) and styles of Shakespeare's plays C．how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced culture.‎ D．Shakespeare’s greatest influence on the world culture.‎ B Are we alone in the universe? A team of scientists announced on January 6, 2015 that they had identified eight planets beyond our solar system, three or four of which circle in their stars’ “Goldilocks Zone” --- the region where temperatures are not too hot or too cold for water, which is a necessary ingredient(成分) for life as we know it, to exist in liquid form. This may be good news for people hoping that Earth is not the only inhabited(可居住的) world in the universe.‎ The scientists, led by Dr. Guilermo Torres of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, made the discoveries using data collected by the planet-seeking Kepler telescope.‎ NASA launched Kepler in 2009. Since then, the telescope has identified more than 1,000 planets outside of our solar system. Torres and his team analyzed the data about the eight newly discovered world to determine which ones are most likely to be similar to our Earth.‎ Among the new discoveries, the scientists say the planets called Kepler438b and 442b are the closest to Earth. Kepler 438b is just about 10% larger than our planet, and gets 40% more of its energy from its star than Earth receives from the Sun. Temperatures there would be about 140 degrees. Kepler 442b is about 33% larger than Earth, but receives 30% less energy from its star. That would make it a likely colder world than our own. Torres says it is possible for life to exist and survive in either of those temperatures, but for that to happen, these planets would need to have another key ingredient for life: a heat-trapping atmosphere like Earth’s. ‎ While these findings add to the possibility that life exists beyond Earth, Torres warns against drawing conclusions, “We are not announcing they are inhabited,” he says. In fact, these planets are so far away that the scientists cannot observe them directly, which can be explanation for why for now it remains unknown whether these planets contain life. But the discovery of planets in their stars’ habitable zones suggests that somewhere out there, some form of alien life may have taken hold.‎ ‎6．The scientists have identified eight planets,____________________.‎ A．which are suitable for humans to live on B．some of which are possible for life to exist on C．some of which have the same situations as Earth D．which are not too hot or too cold for water to exist on ‎7．Which statement about the discovery of Torres and his team is TRUE?‎ A．Kepler 438b is too hot for any life to exist on B．Kepler 438b and 442b are the farthest to Earth C．They have made the discoveries through Kepler D．They have discovered no more than 1000 planets in 7 years ‎8．What can possibly account for the lack of life on Kepler 442b?‎ A．The water B．The sunlight C．The soil D．The atmosphere ‎9．In the last paragraph, Torres wants to express that____________________.‎ A．there is a lot left to learn B．they have had decisive gains C．it is the first discovery in human history D．there certainly exists life on the planets ‎10．Which can be the best title for this passage?‎ A．Are We Alone? B．Eye on the Stars C．Discover Another Earth D．Discover New Stars to Live on 第二节（共 5 题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room.

They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.‎ Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. 14 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.‎ The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors.

Personally, popular science books and literary books should be put in the first place, which are definitely students’ cup of tea.‎ It is popular science books that make us get the hang of science knowledge and broaden our horizons. Apart from developing our interest in science, they equip us with vital common sense, which will absolutely promise us good performances in the digital world.‎ Also, literary books are believed to record the essence of the culture after standing the test of ‎ time. Reading them can not only improve our reading and writing skills, but provide us with a larger world stage as well.‎ Both kinds of books are popular among students and badly in need. It’ll be my honor if my advice is taken. Looking forward to your reply.‎ ‎ ‎ Sincerely Li Yue
