11、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。21（6分）When Oscar Pistorius was convicted (证明有罪的)murder last month, the judge described the case as a “human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions”. The Paralympic athletes fall from grace made this comparison appropriate: overcoming severe disability to reach “Olympian heights”, fal

12、ling in love with a beautiful model, and, in a coincidence that wouldnt be out of place in one of the plays, taking her life on Valentines Day. Mr. Pistoriuss tragic flaw was that he was an excessive paranoia（偏执狂）, which showed itself in an enthusiasm for guns.Mr. Pistoriuss case is, indeed, peculia

13、rly Shakespearean. But Justice Eric Leach, who delivered the judgment, is but one of those who have turned to the playwright in times of legal need. In 2012, Britains High Court quoted “King Lear” in a trial regarding a “threatening” joke on Twitter they eventually overturned a conviction on the gro

14、unds that social-media users “are free to speak not what they ought to say, but what they feel”. A choice snippet of “Hamlet” (“a little patch of ground that hath no profit in it but the name”) was quoted in a 2008 boundary dispute. “Henry VIII” was called forth by Senator Sam Ervin Jr during the Wa

15、tergate hearings. The condemnation of Dzokhar Tsarnaev, involved in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, was sealed with lines from “Julius Caesar”: “the evil that men do lives after them; the good is often buried with their bones.”Lawyers love of Shakespeare is appropriate given that more of his line

16、s are devoted to discussing law than any other profession. Some think his knowledge of the law was so detailed that the “real” Shakespeare must have been a lawyer. A study by Scott Dodson and Ami Dodson published last year set out to discover “the most literary justice” of those currently sitting(开庭

17、), and which authors were regularly turned to for quotable wisdom. The “most abundant citer and the widest read” was found to be Antonin Scalia, and no surprise William Shakespeare topped the list of the often-quoted, along with Lewis Carroll. Both Shakespeare and Carroll accumulated sixteen referen

18、ces from five justices. Other popular authors among the bench were George Orwell, Charles Dickens, Aldous Huxley and Aesop.The words of Shakespeare are likely to be sounded around courtrooms for decades to come as many universities particularly in America and Britain have included him in their law c

19、ourses. Harvard Law School offers a seminar which focuses entirely on “justice and morality in the plays of Shakespeare”. Kings College Londons “Shakespeare and the Law” model is co-taught by the Literature and Law faculties, and explores “the role of the law in mediating the place of the individual

20、 within society”. There are sensible reasons behind this; the University of Southampton, in line with recent studies, states that it offers the opportunity to study law through a literary prism of Shakespeare, Dickens, Kafka and others in order to “help law students to become more ethically sharp”.

21、A study argues that reading literary fiction makes people show empathy, challenge prejudice, and be more flexible in their decision-making. A literary sensibility enables lawyers to present clear, structured opinions and briefs.But what is it about the work of Shakespeare, in particular, that lends

22、itself to legal quotation and reflection? After all, as Robert Peterson pointed out in “The Bard and the Bench”, all 37 of Shakespeares plays have been quoted by American courts, in over 800 judicial opinions. One answer lies in the fact that Shakespeares status embodies high culture; quoting him se

23、eks to invest the judgment with credibility and induce a sense of history. Mr. Peterson notes that this can “drive decisions in authentic ways”. Another option is Shakespeares universality everyone has either read, or claims to have read, plays like “Hamlet”. His works have become globally shared; t

24、he term “Shakespearean tragedy” induces a rise-and-fall story even if the listener is not familiar with the works themselves. The horrifying details of Mr. Pistoriuss actions on that night, placed in a familiar Shakespearean frame, helps members of the court, and the public, to make sense of the unn

DRepresents.4、The reason why Shakespeare is often quoted in court is that_.Ahe is universally recognized as a productive playwrightBthe

BBy presenting examples.CBy analyzing phenomena. DBy making comparisons.6、Which of the fol
