（三）考点解析

考生要通过仔细阅读这篇戏剧节选，从原文寻找答案，若原文没有直接可用的答案，还

必须靠自一归纳或进行推理。归纳时尽量采用原文的单词和词组来重组，注意答案的简短和

书写的工整，太长太乱的答案很可能会影响教师的评阅。如果有字数限制的，还应注意不能

超过字数限制。

1.B.

beguile和looklike都暗含"fit"的意思。

2.A.

“0,neverShal1sunthatmorrowsee.Yourface,mythane,isasabookwhere

menMayreadstrangematters.Tobeguilethetime,Looklikethetime;bearwelcome

inyoureye,Yourhand,yourtongue;lookliketheinnocentflower,Butbetheserpent

under,"这一段话是叫Macbeth保持镇静,举止如常,即“tobehavenormally"。“and

youshal1putThisnight'sbusinessintomydispatch”可以理解为“leavethemurdering

parttometoarrange

3.Yourfaceisgivingyouawayoryourlooksbetrayyourfeelings.

（四）考点拓展

包括对姓名、家庭、社交等各个方面容易产生的cultureshock的考察，主要以案例分

析的形式进行考察。
