England has been the birthplace of the great English-language plays written throughout history. Most of the plays in England that are truly famous have something in common. They usually come from a playwright (剧作家) with several famous plays.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare is considered the most famous British playwright. Shakespeare has written a large number of tragedies, comedies and history plays, and each category includes some of the most famous plays ever written. Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and King Lear are all tragedies and performed in theaters around the world every year. His famous comedies include A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Much Ado About Nothing. In the category of history plays, Richard III and Henry V are very famous.

Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw

Several hundred years after Shakespeare, English people began to enjoy the works of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. Wilde’s plays are still popular now, and The Importance of Being Earnest is both performed and studied extremely frequently. A Woman of No Importance and An Ideal Husband are among his other famous works. Shaw and Wilde were both born in the 1850s, but Shaw was a much more productive writer. His most famous plays include Pygmalion and Candida. Shaw’s plays are loved so much that a theater company is devoted to performing his work in Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario.

Harold Pinter

The plays of Harold Pinter certainly have an international presence. His writing was so widely recognized for its importance that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005.

I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.

“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked. “None.”

“Where did you go?”

“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.” “What did you do?”

“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.” “You just stood there? Didn’t sell a single one? My God, Russell!”

Uncle Allen put in, “I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle (五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.

Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

4. Why did the boy start his job young?

A. He wanted to be famous in the future. B. The job was quite easy for him.

C. His mother had great hope for him. D. The competition for the job was fierce.

5. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was      .

A. excited B. interested C. ashamed D. disappointed

6. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?

A. She forced him to continue. B. She punished him.

C. She gave him some money. D. She changed her plan.

7. What is the text mainly about?

A. The early life of a journalist.

B. The early success of a journalist.

C. The happy childhood of the writer.

D. The important role of the writer in his family.

C

Teenagers have been regarded as the new “spend, spend, spend” generation, but their spending could put their parents in debt (欠债).

A report shows that parents are lavishing cash on their teenagers so they can keep up with all the current fashion. But the report also shows that it is the age of the “kidult” as teenagers are acting older at a younger age and having a bigger say than ever in the clothes they buy and wear.

The majority of teenagers between 15 and 19 receive more than 100 pounds a month, but their plentiful pocket money is leading to many teenagers — particularly girls — becoming addicted to shopping as they spend a huge amount on clothes, make-up and electronic equipment.

Now the report is warning that the generous cash handouts from parents who owe (欠) a lot of money means the young people are not being taught important lessons in money management. Latest research from market analysts of Mintel International shows that British teenagers — 11 to 19 years old — love to spend but they are not just spending their own money. According to Richard Caines, one of Mintel International analysts, “Parents today are prepared to go well beyond simply satisfying the basic financial needs of their children. So much so that the amount of money parents give to their children significantly outstrips (超过) economic growth and will continue so. There is no doubt that in the future teenagers will be hitting the shops even more often than they do already.”

Today teenagers between 11 and 14 are more likely to receive at least 250 pounds a year as pocket money. The amount of pocket money obviously increases with age, so that between 15 and 19 years old the majority receive more than 100 pounds a month, with one in seven receiving 500 pounds or more.

8. Why do parents become indebted?

A. Due to their children’s spending habits.

B. Due to their children’s pocket money.

C. Because their children are acting older at a younger age.

D. Because their children have a bigger say than ever.

9. What does the underlined word “lavishing” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Paying.  B. Loaning.

C. Receiving too much.  D. Giving too much.

10. What can we learn about pocket money from the last paragraph?

A. Kids get less when they are an adult.

B. The older the kids are, the more they get.

C. 11–14-year-old kids get 250 pounds a month.

D. 7% of 15–19-year-old kids receive 500 pounds or more monthly.

11. According to the report, what do kids need to do?

A. Hit the shops more often.

B. Stop spending pocket money.

C. Learn how to handle their money.

D. Be satisfied with the amount of their pocket money.

D

The sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.

Airbnb is an Internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.

The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of under-used resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.

But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airbnb’s customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.

Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts’ neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don’t form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.

Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.

The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in dispute over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers’ ability to earn a minimum wage.

This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesn’t mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.

12. What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?

A. It is a global trend.

B. It is beyond regulations.

C. It draws on spare resources.

D. It brings in modest profits.

13. What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?

A. They are not regularly inspected.

B. They are likely to commit thefts.

C. They are allowed not to pay taxes.

D. They can be noisy to hosts’ neighbours.

14. What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?

A. Whether it guarantees customers’ safety.

B. Whether it provides reliable services.

C. Whether it lowers customers’ expenses.

D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.

15. What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?

A. Existing regulations and laws.

B. Necessary improvements of current laws.

C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.

D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者小时候总是向父母要东西，但是后来爸爸总是拒绝作者的要求。作者长大后自己做兼职打工赚钱，终于意识到钱来之不易，知道了金钱的价值。

1. B  考查名词辨析。句意：我仍然记得我要妈妈给我买那些鲜艳的袋装的炸薯条和糖果的场景。根据上文“I used to walk around the store with my parents, constantly begging for something.”可推知，作者总是让父母给他买东西，因此推断此处指作者仍然记着缠着父母买东西的场景。故选B。

2. A  考查名词辨析。句意：那时候，我对金钱的价值没有真正的了解。knowledge“认识，了解”；command“命令，控制”；skill“技能”；technology“技术”。根据下文“Instead of wasting my money on       things, I started saving up.”可知，那时候作者并没有真正了解金钱的价值。have knowledge about ...意为“了解……”。故选A。

3. C  考查动词辨析。句意：当我大约十二岁时，我父亲总是拒绝我的乞求，并生气地对我说：“当你工作时，你可以浪费你挣来的所有钱。”follow“跟随”；appreciate“欣赏，重视”；reject“拒绝”；accept“接受”。根据下文中的“told me with an angry face”可知，父亲很生气，所以他应是拒绝作者买东西的请求。故选C。

4. A  考查动词辨析。句意同上。earn“赚取”；spot“发现，注意到”；lose“丢失”；discover“发现”。结合下文“when you have a job”可知，父亲说的是作者自己工作时赚的钱。earn money意为“赚钱”。故选A。

5. B  考查动词辨析。announce“宣布”；express“表达”；introduce“介绍”；admit“承认”。“he was trying to       to me”是限制性定语从句，先行词是message，省略了关系代词。结合上文“but I never really understood the message”可知，此处表示父亲试图传达给我的信息。故选B。

6. D  考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“A few minutes after my application was sent, I got an email from AMS Pools”可推知，作者发邮件申请工作，故此处表示作者决定做一份兼职工作。故选D。

7. D  考查名词辨析。waiter“服务员”；secretary“秘书”；nurse“护士”；lifeguard“救生员”。根据下文“I was proud I rescued several drowning children.”可知，这份工作是救生员。故选D。

8. A  考查动词辨析。根据下文“A few minutes after my application was sent”可知，作者“申请”了这份工作。故选A。

9. B  考查名词辨析。instruction“说明”；interview“面试”；performance“表演”；flight“飞行”。根据上文中的“I got an email from AMS Pools”可知，作者申请了这份工作，收到一封邮件，通知作者进行面试。故选B。

10. D  考查动词短语辨析。come across“偶然遇见”；take over“掌管”；give up“放弃”；go through“经历”。根据下文“I finally started the job”可知，作者开始工作了，那么工作前的培训是完成了的。故选D。

11. C  考查动词辨析。However一词为转折词，此句与上文“I used to walk around the store with my parents, constantly begging for something.”形成转折，意思是作者赚钱越多，反而越不想花钱。故选C。

12. B  考查形容词辨析。meaningful“有意义的”；useless“无用的”；important“重要的”；necessary“必要的，必需的”。由上文的wasting可知，把钱花在没有用的东西上，才是浪费。故选B。

13. A  考查动词辨析。句意：随着工资的增加，我对金钱的理解也加深了。increase“增加”；remain“仍然是”；drop“降低，减少”；float“漂浮”。故选A。

14. D  考查动词辨析。此处表示作者开始意识到金钱对他来说意味着很多，因为作者是为它工作的人。complain“抱怨”；comment“评论”；regret“后悔”；realize“意识到”。come to realize是固定搭配，意为“开始意识到”。故选D。

15. A  考查名词辨析。account“账户”；password“密码”；book“书”；logo“徽标”。根据空前的“I now have 3,300 dollars”并结合常识可知，钱存在银行的账户里。故选A。

七、 

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了莎士比亚故居的相关情况。

1. where  考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作地点状语。故填where。

2. various/varied  考查词性转换。此处表示有“各种各样的”观点，应用形容词作定语修饰名词views。故填various/varied。

3. was built  考查时态和语态。which引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词the building，且the building和build之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；又根据时间状语“in the mid-16th century”可知，应用一般过去时。故填was built。

4. attractions  考查词性转换。根据空前的“one of the most popular”可知，空处应用名词复数。attraction“向往的地方，有吸引力的事”为可数名词。故填attractions。

5. made  考查非谓语动词。此处考查with复合结构。the large fireplaces与make之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词。故填made。

6. the  考查冠词。此处特指莎士比亚时期。故填定冠词the。

7. belonging  考查非谓语动词。a glove making shop与belong之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词作后置定语。故填belonging。

8. specially  考查词性转换。修饰动词应用副词。故填specially。

9. is  考查时态和主谓一致。根据空前的“Now, it becomes”可知，此处陈述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时；which引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，指代a small museum，be动词应用第三人称单数。故填is。

10. as  考查介词。refer to ... as ...是固定搭配，意为“把……称作……”。故填as。

Dear Editor,

I’m a senior high school student. It’s reported that in China many children in mountainous areas still can’t go to school because of poverty. Last week, our class held a discussion about how to help them.

Here are our suggestions. First, some old textbooks and clothes can be collected and sent to those poor children. Second, it’s also very important to appeal to more people and social organizations to help and care for them. As far as I’m concerned, we should save some of our pocket money and give it to those children in need.

We’ll really appreciate it if you can, through English Weekly, increase public awareness of the poor children’s living conditions and call on more people to help them.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
