21.April 23,2016 marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death. Organizations in Britain have planned numerous events to honour him.
In Stratford﹣upon﹣Avon, his birthplace, the tourism organization has a great number of free events, including performances of Shakespeare's plays, and a dazzling fireworks display. And the BBC is broadcasting a live show from Stratford﹣upon﹣Avon, celebrating Shakespeare's widespread influence on the world. In England's capital, the London Shakespeare Centre and King's College London are holding a series of public performances, exhibitions and activities. It isn't just England that honours the anniversary of the death of this extraordinary writer. In Washington,D.C., the Folger Shakespeare Library, which houses the world's largest collection of documents relating to William Shakespeare, is displaying a series of exhibitions.
Shakespeare is probably the most famous author and is considered a genius by most. He wrote around 38 plays and 154 sonnets(十四行诗), and his work has been translated into over one hundred languages! He penned beautiful metaphors(暗喻), serious dramas and amusing tales.
Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrases. If someone's behaviour suggested he/she was not being honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called his/her actions suspicious. If someone was being silly and perhaps looking like a fool, Shakespeare found his/her actions laughable. And Shakespeare called people who offered their opinions on the quality of something critics. Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give audiences their opinions of food and films. The familiar phrase "break the ice" comes from Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew. The "ice is broken" when a difficult conversation or meeting is calmed by some basic introduction, such as a simple game. More common words coined by Shakespeare include road, gossip, lonely, bump and hurry.
Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare surely lives on, in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time!
(1)The main idea of the text is .
A.the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death

A.a great number of free events in Stratford﹣upon﹣Avon

(3)According to the text, a simple game to make a difficult conversation easy is called .

B.a suspicious man
C.a critic
D.a laughable man
Ⅵ.阅读七选五根据短文内容,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.
22.Personally, I believe that the female brain is mainly built for empathy ﹣ the ability to understand other people ﹣ and that the male brain is simply built for building systems. (1) For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines featuring computers and sport.
You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. (2) It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys having clear functions. (3) People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems﹣thinking, are also male﹣chosen disciplines.
Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. (4) Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.
Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. (5) It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist and why they are there.
A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.
B. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.
C. Their preference for building systems may change over time.
D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.
E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.
F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.
G. Others may think my theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.
Ⅶ.短文改错
23.This afternoon, I saw an interesting thing while I was walking home to school.
I noticed a schoolboy walking in the front of me. When he passed by a white wall, he left his two footprints on the wall. See this, an old man shouted at the boy angry. The boy felt afraid and ran out quickly.
A few minutes later, other boy passed by the wall and saw the footprints on the wall. He thought a moment and took out a pencil from his schoolbag. After I was wondering, I saw the boy painting a panda on the wall. And the footprints become the panda's black eyes. What smart the boy was!

2. 去掉the,考查固定搭配,in front of在…前面,表示整体,in the front of表示在物体内部"在…的前面".
3. See改为Seeing,考查现在分词,句子主语和see之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词做状语.
4. angry改为angrily,考查副词,修饰动词为副词.
5. out改为away,考查固定搭配,run away跑掉.
6. other改为another,考查词义辨析,other其他的,another另一个.
7. thought后加for,考查介词,后跟一段时间用介词for.
8. After改为While/When/As,考查连词,表示"当…的时候",用连词when,while,as引导时间状语从句.
9. become改为became,考查时态,描述过去的事情,用一般过去时态.
10. What改为How,考查感叹句,感叹句型:what+adj.+复数名词+主谓
