1.Today,we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare.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 wellknown writer during a golden age of theater.His years of hard work paid off.

61.What can we infer from the passage?A
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 a lot with Shakespeare's works.
D.Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.
62.Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works inB.
A."King Lear"B."The Comedy of Errors"C."Macbeth"D."Othello"
63.Why could Shakespeare's works survive his time?D
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.
64.Shakespeare's greatest influence should be onA.

12.Towards evening,Jennifer was walking on the beach with a gentle breeze blowing through her hair.Looking up at the golden red sun ball,she was surprised by its color,deep red in the middle,softly fading into yellow.She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.

It was really getting dark now.She wished she had her favorite coat on.It might keep her really warm.She imagined having it with her.This thought dissipated(消散) when she finally saw her front door.It seemed different.Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days.She was shocked:her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy,and now…

It felt so good being back home.Suddenly she heard a voice."Are you feeling better now,dear?You know you got us very,very scared."

9.Junk is everywhere,even in space.But getting rid of space junk is much harder than simply cleaning your bedroom.Space junk travels at 8 kilometers a second,according to an article in the Guardian.Catching it is a bit of a challenge.
     Luckily,scientists at the Swiss space center have a new cleaning plan.Theyare about to send a"cleaner satellite"into space within the next five year?.It will clean up space junk,according to a report in the Guardian.
     Named"Clean Space One",the Swiss satellite finds its target and moves close to it.When it reaches its target,it will catch the junk with a gripping claw (抓手).This is not going to be an easy task because both the satellite and the junk are traveling so fast.
     Once Clean Space One has caught the junk,all it has to do to get rid of it is to fly back to Earth.This is because the junk will bum up when traveling through the atmosphere.The satellite itself will burn up a',the same time.
     Ever since people started to send objects into space more than 50 years ago,there has been junk in space.Junk on Earth like food wrappers (包装纸)or waste paper is also a problem.But space junk is mainly made up of exploded rockets and broken satellites.If no one cleans them away,they just keep traveling around Earth.
     So far,NASA has found 16.000 pieces of junk that are larger than 10cm in diameter(直径)and more than 500,000 pieces measuring between 1cm and 10cm.You can imagine how many even smaller ones there are in space.
     Space junk is dangerous for spacecraft (飞船) and the International Space Station.Even a very small piece could seriously damage-or even destroy-a satellite or space-craft if it collided (碰撞) with the junk.The International Space Station has to regularly change its orbit to avoid space junk,
     Space junk might also be a danger to humans.During the last four months,three very large spacecraft have fallen to Earth.Fortunately,no one was hurt because the junk landed in the ocean.
45.According to the article,space junkD.
    A.travels at the same speed as satellites
    B.could be cleared away within five years
    C.travels at 8 kilometers per hour
    D.will cause a lot of trouble to space stations
46.What will happen to the space junk if it is not cleaned up?C
    A.It will explode in a few years.
    B.It will drift away from Earth eventually.
    C.It will keep traveling around Earth.
    D.It will gather and become a large mass.
47.Which of the following is TRUE about a"cleaner satellite"?B
    A.The junk is dealt with after it reaches Earth.
    B.Catching space junk is difficult for a satellite.
    C.The'satellite can catch several pieces of junk at once.
    D.The satellite goes back to space after it has finished its task.
48.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A
    A.The history of space junk dates back 50 years.
    B.Space stations travel in the same orbit as the junk.
    C.Space junk is harmless to people on Earth.
    D.It's impossible to stop space junk from colliding with spacecrafts.
