31、l shakespeare companyrsc,which presents excellent productions of the plays at the shakespeare memorial theatre on the avon. and there are townsfolk who largely live on the tourists who come, not to see the play, but to look at anne hathaways cottage, shakespeares birthplace and the other sights.the

32、townsfolk of stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their income. they frankly dislike the rsc actors, those who walk with long hair and beard and great noise.the tourist stream are not entirely separate. the sightseers, who come by bus and often take in warwick on the side, dont usually s

33、ee the plays. and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in stratfordhowever, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their play-going. it is the playgoers, the rsc declares, who bring in much of the towns income because they spend the nightsome of them four or five night

34、spouring money into hotels and restaurants. the sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.the townsfolk dont see it this way and local government does not put away some money for the rscstratford cries poor traditionally. nevertheless, every hotel in town seems to be adding

35、a new wing or a cocktail room. hilton is building its own hotel there, which you will be sure will be decorated with hamburger bars, dinner rooms and so forth, and will be very expensive.anyway, the townsfolk cant understand why the rsc needs help from the government. the theatre has broken attendan

36、ce records for three years in a row. last year, its 1431 seats were 94 occupied all year long and this year they will do better. the reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed the same. it would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the you

37、ng people who are stratfords most attractive customers. they come entirely for the plays, not the sights. they all seem to look alike, though they come from all over.66from the first two paragraphs, we learn that _.athe townsfolk think little of the rscs contribution to the towns income bthe actors

38、of rsc imitate shakespeare on and off stagecthe two branches of the rsc are not on good terms dthe townsfolk earn little from tourism67it can be inferred from the third paragraph that _.athe sightseers cannot visit the castle and the palace separatelybthe playgoers seem to spend more money than the

39、sightseerscthe playgoers go to no other places in town than the theatredthe sightseers do no other things than shopping in town68by saying “stratford cries poor traditionally, the author means that_.astratford has long been in financial difficulties bstratford cannot afford the new projectscthe town

40、 is not really short of money dthe townsfolk used to be poorly paid69according to the townsfolk, the rsc deserves no help from the government because _.athe behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable bticket prices can be raised to cover the spendingcthe company is financially ill-managed dth

41、e theatre attendance is on the risebactivity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading undoubtedly meant reading aloudonly during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.one should be careful, howev

42、er, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction(分散注意力)to others. examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themsel

43、ves changed in character.the last century saw a gradual increase in literacy(读写能力)and thus in the number of readers. as readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloudas reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came

44、the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, a

45、nd over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. indeed this argument remains with us still in education. however, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media(媒介)on the one hand and by book

46、s and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.by the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. the social, cultural, and technological developments in the

47、 century had greatly changed what the term “reading referred to.70why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century abecause silent reading had not been discovered. bbecause there were few places for private reading.cbecause few people could read for themselves. dbecause people depended on

48、reading for enjoyment.71the development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed .aa change in the position of literate peopleba change in the nature of readingcan increase in the number of books dan increase in the average age of readers72educations are still arguing about .athe impor

49、tance of silent reading bthe amount of information provided by books and newspapers cthe effects of reading on health dthe value of different types of reading material73what is the writer of this passage attempting to do?ato explain how present-day reading habits developed. bto change people's w

50、ay to read.cto show how reading methods have improved. dto encourage the growth of reading.cwhen i asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the tv, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone. personally, i could do without the phone entirely, which makes

51、me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.point 1 the telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. my daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to th

52、e very people she has been at school with all day. if the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about? point 2 the mobile phone means that we are never alone. “the mobile saved my life, says crystal johnstone. she had an accident in her volvo on the a45 between otley and skipton. trap

53、ped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue. point 3 the mobile removes our secret. it allows marketing manager of haba deutsch, carl nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, an

54、d how their last meeting went. point 4 the telephone separates us. antonella bramante in rome says, “we worked in separate offices but i could see him through the window. it was easy to get his number. we were so nearbut we didnt meet for the first two weeks! point 5 the telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat line
