似乎有关联，但是选项中的“the two branches of the RSC 皇家莎士比亚公司的两个分支机构” 与相关信息句中的“Stratford-on-Avon 有两个完全独立，敌意渐浓的分支机构”相悖，这 种命题陷阱称为“瞒天过海”；选项 D. the townsfolk earn little from tourism.居民在旅游业中 收益很少，与相关信息句动作“只有一个产业，就是威廉莎士比亚；但是在那儿有两个完全 独立，敌意渐浓的分支机构；居民怀疑剧院是否给他们带来任何税收”没有任何关联。综上 所述，可以确定答案为 A. the townsfolk deny the RSC ’ s contribution to the town’s revenue. 居民们否定皇家莎士比亚公司对该镇的税收做出贡献。
27. 推断题 It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that . 选项 A. the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separately.
观光者不能单独参观 Castle 和 the Palace。
B. the playgoers spend more money than the sightseers. 看戏的人比观光客花钱要多。
C. the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoers. 观光者比看戏的人购物多。
D. the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater. 看戏的人除了去剧院之外不会去任何其他地方。 该题目作为推断题，要明确找到指定的第三段的主题句。根据“主题句---细节句原则”，
第三段 The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus－and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side－don?t usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town?s revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall. 从段中的主题句 The playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing 可以看出，D. the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater. 看戏的人除了去剧院之外不会去任何其他地方，不符合题意。[A]和[C]两项内容并未在本段 提及。本段倒数第二句 It is the playgoers, ?pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants 明 确地揭示了正确答案为 B. the playgoers spend more money than the sightseers. 看戏的人比 观光客花钱要多。
28. 识词题 By saying “Stratford cries poor traditionally” (Lines 2-3, Paragraph 4), the author implies that . 选项 A. Stratford cannot afford the expansion projects.
Stratford 承担不起扩建计划。
B. Stratford has long been in financial difficulties. Stratford 长期以来一直陷入财务困难。 C. the town is not really short of money. 该镇并不是真的资金短缺。
D. the townsfolk used to be poorly paid. 该镇居民过去收入很低。
该题将识别的短语“Stratford cries poor traditionally”在文章中定位到第四段 The townsfolk don?t see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford cries poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town
seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive. 作为识词题，按照“方位论原则”： 在识别词汇后面找表示“解释说明，逻辑关系”的表达，或者向前面找平行结构。在词汇后 面出现“Nevertheless”，表达的是转折关系，因此相关信息句为 Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive.但是该镇的每一家宾馆似乎 都在加添一个侧厅或鸡尾酒大厅。希尔顿正在那儿建自己的饭店，可想而知那里会有一个 哈姆雷特汉堡酒吧，班柯宴会厅等等，价格将十分昂贵。从中不难看出，Stratford 并非真的 陷入财政困难。选项 A. Stratford cannot afford the expansion projects. Stratford 承担不起扩建 计划，与相关信息句动作“加添一个侧厅或鸡尾酒大厅。希尔顿正在那儿建自己的饭店，会 有一个哈姆雷特汉堡酒吧，班柯宴会厅等等，价格将十分昂贵”完全相悖；选项 B. Stratford has long been in financial difficulties. Stratford 长期以来一直陷入财务困难，与相关信息句动 作“加添一个侧厅或鸡尾酒大厅。希尔顿正在那儿建自己的饭店，会有一个哈姆雷特汉堡酒 吧，班柯宴会厅等等，价格将十分昂贵”完全相悖；选项 C. the town is not really short of money. 该镇并不是真的资金短缺，与相关信息句动作“加添一个侧厅或鸡尾酒大厅。希尔顿正在那 儿建自己的饭店，会有一个哈姆雷特汉堡酒吧，班柯宴会厅等等，价格将十分昂贵”直接关 联，体现“同意替换”的关系；选项 D. the townsfolk used to be poorly paid.该镇居民过去收 入很低，与相关信息句动作“加添一个侧厅或鸡尾酒大厅。希尔顿正在那儿建自己的饭店， 会有一个哈姆雷特汉堡酒吧，班柯宴会厅等等，价格将十分昂贵”没有任何关联。因此，正 确答案为 C。
29.细节题 According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because 选项 A. ticket prices can be raised to cover the spending.
可以提高票价来弥补支出。
B. the company is financially ill-managed. 公司财政管理混乱。
C. the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable. 演员的行为不被社会所接受。
D. the theatre attendance is on the rise. 看戏的人数量在增加。
该题利用定位词“RSC”和“subsidy”定位到文章第五段 Anyway, the townsfolk can?t understand why the RSC needs a subsidy. (The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year they?ll do better.) “无论怎样，该镇居民不能理解皇家莎士比亚公司为什么需要拨款。（该剧 院已经连续三年打破上座记录。去年，该剧院 1431 个座位的全年上座率为 94%，今年将更 高。）” 选项 A. ticket prices can be raised to cover the spending. 可以提高票价来弥补支出，与 相关信息句动作“不能理解皇家莎士比亚公司为什么需要拨款（该剧院已经连续三年打破上 座记录）”没有任何关联；选项 B. the company is financially ill-managed. 公司财政管理混乱， 与相关信息句动作“不能理解皇家莎士比亚公司为什么需要拨款（该剧院已经连续三年打破 上座记录）”没有任何关联；选项 C. the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable.演员的 行为不被社会所接受，与相关信息句动作“不能理解皇家莎士比亚公司为什么需要拨款（该 剧院已经连续三年打破上座记录）”没有任何关联；选项 D. the theatre attendance is on the rise.
.
看戏的人数量在增加，与相关信息句动作“不能理解皇家莎士比亚公司为什么需要拨款（该 剧院已经连续三年打破上座记录）”直接关联，体现“同意替换”的关系。 因此，正确答案 为 D. the theatre attendance is on the rise. 看戏的人数量在增加。
30.推断题 From the text we can conclude that the author . 选项 A. is supportive of both sides. 支持双方。
B. favors the townsfolk’s view. 支持居民的观点。 C. takes a detached attitude. 漠不关心。
D. is sympathetic to the RSC. 对 RSC 感到同情。 该题目作为推断题，要明确找到指定的第六段的主题句。根据“主题句---细节句原则”，
第六段 It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford?s most attractive clientele. They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)－lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m. 段落中间没有转折词，因此段落的主 题句为段首句 It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive clientele. “将票价大幅度提高很可惜，因 为这会将那些对 Stratford 最值得拥有的年轻客户赶跑。”shame 一词体现了作者的感情色 彩。因此，正确答案为 D. is sympathetic to the RSC. 对 RSC 感到同情。
全文翻译 正如我们所知的那样，埃文河畔的斯特拉特福只有一个产业，那就是威廉·莎士 比亚，但是那儿有两个完全独立的、敌意渐浓的分支机构。一个是皇家莎士比亚公司，它在 该镇莎士比亚纪念剧院上演莎翁最好的戏剧作品。另一个是该镇居民，他们在很大程度上靠 从来这儿的游客那儿赚钱为生，这些游客来这儿不是为了看戏剧，而是为了看 ANNE Hathaway 的小屋，莎翁的出生地和其他景点。
斯特拉特福镇可敬的居民怀疑剧院是否给他们带来任何税收。他们坦然承认自己不喜欢 RSC 公司的演员，那些人留着长发，蓄着胡须，穿着便鞋，吵吵闹闹。想一想他们赖以为生 的莎士比亚本人也是位演员（留着胡须），也制造噪音，就具有绝妙的讽刺意味。
游客并未完全分流。乘公交车而来的观光者通常会参观离这儿不远的沃里克城堡 （Warwick Castle）和布伦海姆宫（Blenheim Palace）。他们通常不会去看戏，一些人在斯 特拉特福看到剧院甚至会感到惊异。但是，常看戏的人在看戏同时的确会观光一些地方。皇 家莎士比亚公司辩称，正是那些看戏的人为城镇带来大部分税收，这是因为他们在该镇过夜 （有些人会呆四五个晚上），在宾馆和餐厅消费。观光客在夜幕降临之前就能看完所有景点， 离开城镇。
但该镇居民却不认可这种观点，地方议政厅并不直接给皇家莎士比亚公司拨款。斯特拉
特福一直在哭穷，但是该镇的每家宾馆似乎都在加添一个侧厅或鸡尾酒大厅。希尔顿正在那 儿建自己的饭店，可想而知那里会有一个哈姆雷特汉堡酒吧、里尔休息厅、班柯宴会厅等等， 价格将十分昂贵。
不管怎样，该镇居民不能理解皇家莎士比亚公司为什么需要拨款。（该剧院已经连续三 年打破了上座率记录。去年该剧院 1431 个座位的全年上座率达到 94%，今年将更高。）当然， 原因是成本增加，而票价却很低。
将票价大幅提高很可惜，因为这会将那些对斯特拉特福最值得拥有的年轻客户赶跑。他 们来这儿纯粹是为了看戏，而不是观光。他们看起来很相似（尽管他们来自世界各地），脸 都瘦瘦的，尖尖的，一脸热诚，穿着仔裤和便鞋，吃圆面包，晚上睡在剧院外面的石板上， 在上午 10 点半售票口开放时买 20 张座位票和 80 张专对这些人出售的站席票。
Text 3
When prehistoric man arrived in new parts of the world, something strange happened to the large animals. They suddenly became extinct. Smaller species survived. The large, slow-growing animals were easy game, and were quickly hunted to extinction. Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.
That the seas are being overfished has been known for years. What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing. They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world. Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass (the amount of living biological matter) of fish species in particular parts of the ocean, but rather changes in that biomass over time. According to their latest paper published in Nature, the biomass of large predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within 15 years of the start of exploitation. In some long-fished areas, it has halved again since then.
Dr Worm acknowledges that the figures are conservative. One reason for this is that fishing technology has improved. Today's vessels can find their prey using satellites and sonar, which were not available 50 years ago. That means a higher proportion of what is in the sea is being caught, so the real difference between present and past is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes. In the early days, too, longlines would have been more saturated with fish. Some individuals would therefore not have been caught, since no baited hooks would have been available to trap them, leading to an underestimate of fish stocks in the past. Furthermore, in the early days of longline fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. That is no longer a problem, because there are fewer sharks around now.
Dr Myers and Dr Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline, which future management efforts must take into account. They believe the data support an idea current among marine biologists, that of the \massive changes which have happened in the ocean because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past. That matters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels. Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business.
31. The extinction of large prehistoric animals is noted to suggest that A. large animals were vulnerable to the changing environment. B. small species survived as large animals disappeared. C. large sea animals may face the same threat today. D. Slow-growing fish outlive fast-growing ones
. 32. We can infer from Dr Myers and Dr. Worm’s paper that . A. the stock of large predators in some old fisheries has reduced by 90%. B. there are only half as many fisheries as there were 15 years ago. C. the catch sizes in new fisheries are only 20% of the original amount.
D. the number of larger predators dropped faster in new fisheries than in the old.
33．By saying “these figures are conservative” (Line 1, paragraph 3), Dr Worm means that . A. fishing technology has improved rapidly.
B. the catch-sizes are actually smaller then recorded. C. the marine biomass has suffered a greater loss. D. the data collected so far are out of date.
34. Dr Myers and other researchers hold that .
A. people should look for a baseline that can work for a longer time. B. fisheries should keep the yield below 50% of the biomass C. the ocean biomass should restored its original level.
D. people should adjust the fishing baseline to changing situations 35. The author seems to be mainly concerned with most fisheries’ A. management efficiency B. biomass level C. catch-size limits
D. technological application.
