William Shakespeare is one of the greatest writers in English literature. His plays can be divided into three categories: histories, tragedies(悲剧) and comedies. Shakespeare wrote eighteen comedies, although two were lost. These comedies usually have happy endings and a light-hearted tone and style that are quite different from his tragedies.
All of Shakespeare’s comedies have five acts and the most important or exciting point always takes place in the third act. The hero does not appear until after other characters have talked about him. Shakespeare had some themes that he usually wrote about: the fight between good and bad, love’s great effect on people, and the difference between first appearance and a person’s true personality or face. Shakespeare also wrote his play in a certain style. For example, Shakespeare used words in such a clever and humorous way that they had more than one meaning. Some of the characters changed their appearances so that people didn’t know who they were.
Even though the tone is lighter in these plays. Comedies in Shakespeare’s day were quite different from modern-day comedies because their purpose was not to make people laugh. Shakespeare’s comedies are very emotional(有感染力的) and often include serious topics to think about.
39.How many Shakespeare’s comedies can people enjoy now?
A. 18 B. 16 C. 5 D. 2
40.Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “categories” in Paragraph 1?
A. type B. parts C. copies D. pages
41.When does the hero in Shakespeare’s comedies appear?
A. At the beginning of the play. B. In the middle of the play.
C. Near the end of the play. D. Not until other characters have mentioned him.
42.Which sentence is WRONG according to the passage?
A. All Shakespeare’s comedies have five acts.
B. Shakespeare’s plays are written in a certain style.
C. The purpose of Shakespeare’s comedies is to make people laugh.
D. The fight between good and bad is one of the themes Shakespeare wrote about.

【解析】本文为政治经济文化类短文阅读。介绍了莎士比亚的作品。他的作品分为历史剧,悲剧和喜剧。莎士比亚所有的喜剧都有五幕,最重要的还是最精彩的一点都是在第三幕中发生的。莎士比亚时代的喜剧不同于现代的喜剧,因为他们的目的不是逗人笑。

六、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按要求回答问题。
In 1986, the Honda automotive company wanted to see if it could make a human-like robot, to help in home, play football,
balance on one foot, and even dance. Over the years there were some problems but soon the researchers managed to get a robot named ASIMO. It could walk on uneven(不平坦的) surfaces, and move its center of gravity like we do to climb stairs.
More recently, ASIMO was improved so it could turn round and run at six kilometers per hour, using its upper body to control movement. ASIMO is designed to be friendly. It is hoped that robots like this could be used to help elderly people in their home. Honda are also using this technology to help people with disabilities. It can also push a cart(手推车) and open and close doors. ASIMO can even shake hands. It stands 120 centimeters tall, so that it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down. It can hold two kilos in its hands. It can even carry a tray without dropping the contents.
So, where next for this kind of robot? Well, while ASIMO is attractive, it is still controlled by a human. Researchers in the USA are working on the robots that can learn about the world around them, and give a reply to human touch and voice. The robots are even learning to recognize(辨认) objects, people and vocabulary. Soon the descendants(后代) of these robots may be serving you drinks or helping with jobs at home and at work.
69.At what speed could ASIMO run after it was improved?
70.Can ASIMO make tea or push a cart?
71.Why is ASIMO designed to be 120 centimeters tall?
72.How many kilos can ASIMO hold in its hands?
73.Put the main ideas (A-D) in the order that the passage is arranged.

70.对应原文,推断,根据It can also push a cart(手推车) and open and close doors. 可知它会推车,故此处为It can push a cart.
71.对应原文,短语含义理解,根据It stands 120 centimeters tall, so that it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down.可知它被设计成120厘米高,是因为当人们坐着的时候,它可以看见人们的脸,关键词so that...以至于...
72.对应原文,根据It can hold two kilos in its hands.可知它的手可以承受2千克。
73.总结每段,第一段介绍ASIMO的历史,第二段介绍ASIMO最近的改善,第三段介绍ASIMO的使用者,第四段介绍未来的机器人将会做的事。故此处的排序为CDAB。
