短文 1&2 点评

Passage One

16. What does the speaker say about William Shakespeare?
答案：B) His personal history is little known.
【点评】本题考查事实细节。文章中作者先提出“有多少人了解莎士比亚本人”的问题，接着指出各学者经过几个世纪的研究之后，仍然在不断探索发现他的个人史。由此可知，莎士比亚的个人史很少有人知道。

17. What do we learn about Shakespeare's father?
答案：D) He was a member of the town council.
【点评】本题考查事实细节。文章中提到莎士比亚的父亲受人尊敬，是Stratford-on-Avon镇议会的一名成员。选项a member of the town council与原文完全对应。

18. Why does the speaker say parts of Shakespeare's life will remain a mystery?
答案：C) Possible sources of clues about him were lost in a fire.
【点评】本题考查事实细节。文章中提到莎士比亚一部分的生活将永远不为人所知。因为1666年伦敦的一场大火把很多重要文件烧毁了，而这些本来可能是了解莎士比亚的重要线索。所以答案选择Possible sources of clues about him were lost in a fire。

Passage Two

19. What is mentioned as a most common danger when people go travelling abroad?
答案：A) Theft.
【点评】本题考查事实细节。原文开篇就提到人们在外出旅游时会遇到很多危险，而其中最为常见的就是盗窃。根据所听即所得，可选出正确答案。

20. What is the most important thing to do when you prepare for your trip abroad?
答案：B) Have the right documents.
【点评】本题考查事实细节。原文中提到在准备出国旅游时，一定要确保文件正确，避免出现签证错误、过期护照等情况。因此答案应选正确的文件。选项中的documents与文中的paperwork对应。

21. What does the speaker suggest you do when you arrive at your destination?
答案：B) Use official transport.
【点评】文章最后提到，到达目的地后要选择乘坐正式的交通工具，不要搭乘陌生人的车。选项use official transport和文中完全一致，所听即所得可得出答案。
