But it wasnt until a day before I was leaving that I found time to visit.By the entrance to the cemetery(公墓), a lady was selling flowers. She had only seven left. I bought them all, but it was then that I realized the map was lost and never found.I could call my mom.

This years 400th anniversary of his death is not just a chance to remember one of the greatest writers of all time. It is a moment to celebrate his ongoing influence. Just as Ben Jonson, another great English writer of his times, said, “he is not of an age, but for all time.”People like Shakespeares plays because the characters show real human feelings. Romeo and Juliet, who are young lovers, they dont quite know how to get ahead with their lives. And they disagree with their parents. Their story has a sad ending. When we take the characters out of his period, they really speak to almost any time and place. The language of Shakespeare is alive and well in modern, everyday English. Even if an English-speaker knows nothing about Shakespeare, they will surely know some sayings that come from his plays. When we have problems making up our mind, we say “to be or not to be: that is the question” (Hamlet). When a friend eats all the food in the house, we say hes “eating me out of house and home” (Henry IV). But Shakespeares influence is felt far beyond his language and his culture. “Cowards die many times before their death, the valiant (英勇的) never taste of death but once.” This saying from Shakespeares historical play Julius Caesar encouraged Nelson Mandela to fight on when he was a prisoner. Shakespeares influence is everywhere, from Goethe (a German writer) to Tchaikovsky. As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It, “all the worlds a stage.” More than 400 years later, stages around the world still show his plays. Through his works, Shakespeare lives on. Perhaps well still be attracted by his works 400 years from now. 38. What is the writers main purpose in writing the article?A. To introduce the life story of William Shakespeare. B. To explain why Shakespeares writing lives on. C. To recommend some of Shakespeares best-known works.D. To explore the influences of Shakespeares comedies.39. Which of these sayings can be used to express the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. All the worlds a stage. B. To be or not to be: that is the question.C. The valiant never taste of death but once. D. He is not of an age, but for all time.40. Paragraph 4 is mainly about _. A. some famous Shakespearian sayings B. some Shakespearian historical stories C. Shakespeares influence on modern English D. Shakespeares influence on wider society41. By the last sentence “Perhaps well still be attracted by his works 400 years from now”, the writer means _. A. Shakespeares influence will last for a long timeB. Britain will remember William Shakespeare foreverC. Shakespeares works will be gone and forgotten some day D. Shakespeares works will have a stronger influence than ever beforeDPicture the scene: Its midnight. Youre very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Do you eat it? It seems that you shouldnt, for many reasons, including its influence on your studies.Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.“We believe that late-night eating may affect (影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,” Dawn Loh, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said, “We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged (受损的) memory.”For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans. For two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep. The mice received the same amount(数量) of sleep and calories.Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by.The researchers noticed that, when the mice were put in the room again, those mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didnt remember. So think twice before the midnight snack it might be bad for more than your weight.42. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to（指代）?A. Studying for long. B. A nice pie. C. A new study. D. Late-night eating.43. For the study, the researchers need _.A. to check the brains of the mice before the test started B. to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleepC. to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the time D. to let the mice receive the same amount of sleep and calories 44. According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE? A. A recent study shows late eating affects weight. B. What we eat can affect learning and memory. C. The mice that ate during sleeping hours didnt remember. D. The mice that ate during usual hours didnt remember. 45. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. Eating snacks affects memory B. Late eating hurts brainC. Never stay up late D. Keep away from snacks四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题l分，计10分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号 的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）46.
