课时作业（十一）

I.阅读理解

【语篇解读】本文是说明文。《哈姆雷特》走出传统剧院，在一个特殊的地方上演。

在这里，观众们需要不时移步，到不同的房间和楼层观看演出。

1.答案与解析：D细节理解题。由第一和第二段可知，剧院观众通常只在中场休息或

演出结束时才起身走动，但在詹姆斯•希尔故居中上演的《哈姆雷特》的场景设置在不同的

房间，甚至不同的楼层，这就要求观众随着剧情发展移动到不同的地方观看演出。

2.答案与解析：C细节理解题。由第三段中的"thegrouppreferstoperformin

untraditionalspacesw和第五段中的"Butwetrytochoosehistoricplacesasmuchas

wecan.”可知，该公司喜欢在非传统的地方演出，尤其是有历史意义的场所。

3.答案与解析：D词义猜测题。倒数第四段介绍该故居的基本情况，原本是为一位名

叫詹姆斯•希尔的铁路商人而建，于1891年建成，现在属于明尼苏达州历史学会。因此，it

投入，他们甚至在努力采取措施控制地震的发生。

5.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句可知，地震多发地带被称为

earthquakebelts”。

6.答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第二段可知，该地区为地震比较活跃的地区。

7.答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据最后一段尾句可知。

8.答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据科学家的试验，通过向断裂带注水可以引发小地

震，从而使地震的能量得到释放，因此也就降低了大地震爆发的可能。
