公共英语等级考试四级(PETS4)课程辅导(30)讲2. B. 这位演员正在想问题，所以把头埋在手中，当听到敲门声后，他抬头看了看。在使役动词make后做宾语补足语的动词不定式要省略to，即make sb do sth。 . C. 这句话的意思是：他本来应该在第二幕上场。他已经错过了出场并毁掉这部戏吗?他觉得自己好像错过立刻出场，由于自己的失误而毁掉了整个演出。选项A.B.C.的意思分别是“延误”，“结束”， “延长”，均不符合题意。 . C. 这句话的意思是：制片人建议他站在舞台旁边，在那里他可以观看演出同时也能跟上剧本。Suggest表示建议，后面的宾语从句用虚拟语气，即should+do的形式。order表示命令，用在这里语气太强。 . B. 这句话的意思是：她说：“这是一个克服紧张的好办法”。Get at “到达，够到，了解”意味着“指责，含沙射影的攻击”;get over 克服，熬过，恢复;get away 逃脱，离开;get through到达，做完，通过。此处表示“克服紧张”，用get over。 . D. 这句话的意思是：这个方法看起来很奏效。Work可以表示，起作用，奏效，正常工作，正常运转。如：I gave him some advice, but it didnt work. Can you help me, -My radio doesnt work. . B. 这句话的意思是：事实上，他看戏看得越多，他就越能融入其中，以至于他感觉到他是戏剧演出的一部分。这里要表示演员的内心感受的转变，而不是思想意识的转变，所以要用feel，不能用recognize。 . B. 这句话的意思是：但是突然，制片人又一次站在了他的旁边。Side表示人身体的侧面，所以by ones side表示“在侧面，在旁边”。 . D. 这句话的意思是：这一次，当制片人把手放在他的臂上想要把他拉回原地时，显得有些担心。制片人担心的不是下文所讲的剧本中有三页被跳过了，而时因为演员因此无法出场了，她不知道该如何向这个演员解释。她本能地把演员往回拉了一点。Retrain 的本意时“限制，约束”，要表示往回拉，必须用介词back。 . C. 这句话的意思是：她说“我恐怕你要感到失望了”。disappoint vt 需要宾语;disappointed 是形容词形式。 20. C. 这句话的意思是：他们跳过了三页，把你的那一部分遗漏了。Forget 忘记;lose 丢失; miss=fail to say or include 错过，遗漏;omit 省略。Reading comprehension Read the following two texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. The Globe Theater-Shakespeares Theater The original globe was built in 99 by a group of actors. Among them was Shakespeare himself and over the next few years his major plays, including the four great tragedies Hamlet , King Lear, Macbeth and othello, were staged there. But during a performance of Henry Vlll, in , a spark from cannon set the thatched roof on fire and the theatre burned down. Although rebuilt, it lasted only until 44. And that might have been the end of the story, except that another spark then entered the mind of the late American actor and film director Sam Wanamaker 40 years ago, when he came to London and set off to look for the Globes original site. He was interviewed last year, shortly before his death: Nobody really knew where it was. But anyway, I did finally get to it. It was marked by a black plaque, which is still there, on the side of a brewery wall, which said, in effect, this is the site of the worlds greatest theatre. It was erected by the Shakespeare Society of Britain and India and of al places. And I thought, well, why dont the British do something about this? I mean, this is terrible. There are imitation globes in several countries around the world - Japan .Germany, the United States -But all make extensive use of modern technology. Wanamaker wanted to build something that was, as far as possible, an exact reconstruction of Shakespeares theatre. Its this thats now taking shape by the River Thames, a few hundred yards from the original site. When complete, performances will take place with no artificial lighting, no heating, no recorded music, no modern costume. No amplification, no cuts in the texts; and since the theatre is open air its certain that therell occasionally be wind and rain. All this is as it would have been in Shakespeares day, but actors in the new Glove will also have to compete with the 20th -century sounds like airplanes and police sirens, Sir Anthony Hopkins, one of the countrys best-known Shakespearean actors, was asked how gre4at the problems would be: I dont know. I havent acted here yet, I guess theyll meet those problems when they come to it. But I think theyve taken that on board. Audiences seem to accept it -theyll accept rain ,snow, hurricane, planes-theyll accept anything, I suppose. The new Globe will also be faithful to the original one in its design. Wanamaker explained: Its a circular building, which is not round -its a polygon, consisting of 20 sections, modular sections. These sections represent three galleries-the Glove had three seating galleries, which were covered and protected form the weather. It had back wall, equally protecting it form the weather, and in the center of this circle. And the people who couldnt afford to pay more than a penny would stand around the stage and the people who would pay a little more could sit in the galleries. These galleries rise like sheer walls round the stage. Giving it an enclosed, almost claustrophobic feel behind the project is a belief, which was passionately held by Wanamaker, that in recent years productions of Shakespeare have become far too dependent on special technical effects of sound and lighting. Wanamaker with supporters like Bill Bryden, one of Britains leading theatre directors argued that with new Glove they would be forced to avoid illusion, and would have to put much more emphasis on the language of the plays. The Globe project is still short of funds: Its received little official help form within retain, but a lot of indifference. one reason is the undoubted prejudice against open-air theatre. A prejudice is due mainly to the vagaries of the weather. More seriously, some members of the theatrical establishment believe that, in the end, the reconstruction amounts to no result. Were not trying to create museum theatre3 or do it the way they did it in Shakespeares time, not at all, were simply saying here is a platform here is a circle, and here is the performance without all the illusionist things that we employ to do plays today. Its wholly different kind of theatre. It goes back to the original forms of theatre. And it was without all this silly business-which is fine for th
