A speech in a play by Shakespeare can be as short as a word or as long as several hundred. But what is the most common length?
Staying away from Shakespeare himself for a moment, we can take Ben Jonson’s play Volpone (1606) and count the number of speeches and their lengths. The most common length is four words. The next most common length is five words. Of the other 16 Jonson’s plays, 12 also have a speech length mode (模式) of four. It was not just Jonson; it was everybody. After 1602, four-word speeches were the most common kind across all the early modern plays that survived.
The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten. After 1602, the mode of four predominated. If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.
Our suggestion is that the playwrights (剧作家) learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech.
Another way to think of this is offered by the Russian literary scholar Boris Yarkho. He put forward an “index (指数) of liveliness” — the ratio of the number of speeches to the total number of lines in a play. He researched the works of the 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille and found that his comedies have a higher index because of their shorter speeches. The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms.
Nevertheless, we have no record of any dramatist or playgoer reflecting on the shortening of average speech lengths; our only knowledge of it comes from counting the words in the plays for ourselves.
4. What happened in English plays around the 1600s?
A. Their storylines were about famous writers. B. They were influenced by a poetic writing style.
C. They featured different storytelling techniques. D. Their speeches were generally shorter in length.
5. What does the underlined word “predominated” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Remained unique. B. Took the leading position.
C. Disappeared slowly. D. Played an educational role.
6. Why did playwrights change their writing styles according to paragraph 4?
A. To challenge traditional writing rules. B. To stand out by applying their unique style.
C. To avoid being affected by social values. D. To create realistic and acceptable speeches.
7. Which of the following is Yarkho’s opinion on the change in plays?
A. It saved actors the trouble of memorizing their lines.
B. It reflected people's preference for serious dialogues.
C. It helped present dramas in an active and pleasant way.
D. It made the characters express their feelings effectively.
C
Years ago, many Mexican gray wolves lived in the United States. In the 1800s, cattle farmers were worried that these wolves would hunt and eat their farm animals. During the 1800s and 1900s, farmers killed many of these wolves to try to protect their animals. These wolves almost went extinct.
In 1976, the U. S. government passed the Endangered Species Act. These wolves were finally protected! And with help, the species continues to survive today.
The White Mountain Apache Tribe (部落)has played an important role in keeping this species alive. They live on a large area of land in Arizona called the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. This area is also a wolf habitat.
Krista Beazley is a wolf biologist on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. She tracks the movements of Mexican gray wolves that live on the land. Scientists have put special radio collars on wolves. These collars send out beeping signals (蜂鸣信号)to a special hand-held antenna (手持天线). Biologists like Beazley use these antennas to track the wolves. She also follows their footprints and droppings. Wolf droppings tell biologists what the wolf ate, where it spends much of its time, and if it is sick. Beazley makes sure the wolves are alive and healthy.
The number of Mexican gray wolves living on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation is growing. Despite this remarkable progress, the species is still endangered. The White Mountain Apache Tribe continues to try to protect these wolves.
The White Mountain Apache Tribe also works to protect many other rare plant and animal species. For example, they saved the Apache trout from extinction by closing certain areas to fishing and by building trout habitats. They also protect habitats for animals like the Mexican spotted owl. The White Mountain Apache Tribe has a close connect ion with all of nature. Tribe members believe humans must honor the animals and nature around them.
8. Why did Mexican gray wolves almost die out during the 1800s and 1900s?
A. They were eaten by farm animals. B. They were killed by cattle farmers.
C. Government passed laws to hunt them. D. They hardly survived in the extreme climates.
9. What was the result of the Endangered Species Act being passed?
A. The Mexican gray wolf was protected.
B. The Mexican gray wolf disappeared completely.
C. The White Mountain Apache Tribe settled in Arizona.
D. The Fort Apache Indian Reservation became a wolf habitat.
10. What may best describe Krista Beazley?
A. Kind and courageous. B. Careful and confident.
C. Hardworking and caring. D. Responsible and humorous.
11. What do we know about the White Mountain Apache Tribe?
A. They care about animals and nature around them.
B. They work hard to build habitats for all animals.
C. Their unique task is to protect Mexican gray wolves.
D They try to keep Mexican gray wolves from increasing.

After hitting the button of an alarm clock a couple of times, Sarah rushed to get dressed. She had a big presentation at work, and she needed the caffeine more than ever. She grabbed (抓住) her keys, rushed out of the door, and made her way to the familiar coffee shop.
As she joined the line of cars in the drive-through (免下车的餐馆), Sarah couldn’t help but feel the familiar rush of anticipation. The smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of having a cup of coffee was her little daily enjoyment.
The line of cars went forward slowly, and soon, Sarah found herself at the drive-through window. She reached for her purse to pay, but before she could hand over her credit card, the cashier smiled and said, “Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you.” “Really?” she asked, both surprised and grateful. The cashier nodded. “Yes, the woman in the car ahead wanted to pay it forward today. Enjoy your coffee!”
With a warm smile, Sarah accepted the free coffee and drove away. The unexpected act of kindness was in her mind as she drank the delicious coffee. It put a spring in her step and a smile on her face, making her presentation a little less worrying.
As she exited the drive-through, Sarah glanced in her rearview (后视的) mirror at the next car approaching the coffee shop window. An idea began to form in her mind. Maybe she could do the same, pay it forward and brighten someone else’s morning. She decided to stick around, park her car and go back into the coffee shop. She approached the cashier and said, “I’d like to pay for the coffee of the person in the car behind me.” The cashier smiled and nodded, processing the payment. Sarah knew she had just started a chain of kindness, and she felt a warm sense of satisfaction.
注意:

A speech in a play by Shakespeare can be as short as a word or as long as several hundred. But what is the most common length?
Staying away from Shakespeare himself for a moment we can take Ben Jonson’s play Volpone (1606) and count the number of speeches and their lengths. The most common length is four words. The next most common length is five words. Of the other 16 Jonson’s plays, 12 also have a speech length mode (模式) of four. It was not just Jonson; it was everybody. After 1602, four-word speeches were the most common kind across all the early modern plays that survived.
The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten. After 1602, the mode of four predominated. If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.
Our suggestion is that the playwrights (剧作家) learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech.
Another way to think of this is offered by the Russian literary scholar Boris Yarkho. He put forward an “index (指数) of liveliness” — the ratio of the number of speeches to the total number of lines in a play. He researched the works of the 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille and found that his comedies have a higher index because of their shorter speeches. The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms.
Nevertheless, we have no record of any dramatist or playgoer reflecting on the shortening of average speech lengths; our only knowledge of it comes from counting the words in the plays for ourselves.
4. What happened in English plays around the 1600s?
A. Their storylines were about famous writers. B. They were influenced by a poetic writing style.
C. They featured different storytelling techniques. D. Their speeches were generally shorter in length.
5. What does the underlined word “predominated” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Remained unique. B. Took the leading position.
C. Disappeared slowly. D. Played an educational role.
6. Why did playwrights change their writing styles according to paragraph 4?
A. To challenge traditional writing rules. B. To stand out by applying their unique style.
C. To avoid being affected by social values. D. To create realistic and acceptable speeches.
7. Which of the following is Yarkho’s opinion on the change in plays?
A. It saved actors the trouble of memorizing their lines.
B. It reflected people's preference for serious dialogues.
C. It helped present dramas in an active and pleasant way.
D. It made the characters express their feelings effectively.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,讲述了17世纪后,大多数戏剧的话语长度转向四字模式,剧作家认为较短的戏剧话语能以一种积极愉快的方式呈现戏剧。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten.(伦敦戏剧产业在1580年代末和1590年代初开始发展,我们看到演讲长度模式集中在9词或10词)”及“If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.(如果我们只看莎士比亚的戏剧,我们会发现他做的和其他人一样:在1597-1602年左右,他从喜欢9个词的演讲变成了喜欢4个词的演讲,并且再也没有回去过)”可知,16世纪末尾,话语长度多为9词,10词,17世纪后,话语长度转向4词,话语长度变短。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.(如果我们只看莎士比亚的戏剧,我们会发现他做的和其他人一样:在1597-1602年左右,他从喜欢9个词的演讲变成了喜欢4个词的演讲,并且再也没有回去过)”可知,划线词后以莎士比亚的戏剧为例,说明话语长度变短,并且再没有变长,推知,4词模式从此处于主流领导地位,划线词意思为:处于领先地位。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Our suggestion is that the playwrights(剧作家)learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech.(我们的建议是,剧作家们逐渐从彼此学习如何更紧密地表达日常交流中的讲话长度,并发现观众对此反应良好。他们开始不那么关注严格的写作规则,而更多地关注日常讲话的生动活泼)”可知,剧作家写作时更加重视日常用语的生动性,因此,他们改变写作风格创造现实和可接受的演讲。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms.(从9个词的模式到4个词的模式代表了缩短的平均讲话,因此用Yarkho的话说,这是一种更生动的戏剧)”可知,Yarkho认为,将戏剧的词数变短,有助于以一种积极愉快的方式呈现戏剧。故选C。

Years ago, many Mexican gray wolves lived in the United States. In the 1800s, cattle farmers were worried that these wolves would hunt and eat their farm animals. During the 1800s and 1900s, farmers killed many of these wolves to try to protect their animals. These wolves almost went extinct.
In 1976, the U. S. government passed the Endangered Species Act. These wolves were finally protected! And with help, the species continues to survive today.
The White Mountain Apache Tribe (部落)has played an important role in keeping this species alive. They live on a large area of land in Arizona called the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. This area is also a wolf habitat.
Krista Beazley is a wolf biologist on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. She tracks the movements of Mexican gray wolves that live on the land. Scientists have put special radio collars on wolves. These collars send out beeping signals (蜂鸣信号)to a special hand-held antenna (手持天线). Biologists like Beazley use these antennas to track the wolves. She also follows their footprints and droppings. Wolf droppings tell biologists what the wolf ate, where it spends much of its time, and if it is sick. Beazley makes sure the wolves are alive and healthy.
The number of Mexican gray wolves living on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation is growing. Despite this remarkable progress, the species is still endangered. The White Mountain Apache Tribe continues to try to protect these wolves.
The White Mountain Apache Tribe also works to protect many other rare plant and animal species. For example, they saved the Apache trout from extinction by closing certain areas to fishing and by building trout habitats. They also protect habitats for animals like the Mexican spotted owl. The White Mountain Apache Tribe has a close connect ion with all of nature. Tribe members believe humans must honor the animals and nature around them.
8. Why did Mexican gray wolves almost die out during the 1800s and 1900s?
A They were eaten by farm animals. B. They were killed by cattle farmers.
C. Government passed laws to hunt them. D. They hardly survived in the extreme climates.
9. What was the result of the Endangered Species Act being passed?
A. The Mexican gray wolf was protected.
B. The Mexican gray wolf disappeared completely.
C. The White Mountain Apache Tribe settled in Arizona.
D. The Fort Apache Indian Reservation became a wolf habitat.
10. What may best describe Krista Beazley?
A. Kind and courageous. B. Careful and confident.
C. Hardworking and caring. D. Responsible and humorous.
11. What do we know about the White Mountain Apache Tribe?
A They care about animals and nature around them.
B. They work hard to build habitats for all animals.
C. Their unique task is to protect Mexican gray wolves.
D. They try to keep Mexican gray wolves from increasing.

53. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After hitting the button of an alarm clock a couple of times, Sarah rushed to get dressed. She had a big presentation at work, and she needed the caffeine more than ever. She grabbed (抓住) her keys, rushed out of the door, and made her way to the familiar coffee shop.
As she joined the line of cars in the drive-through (免下车的餐馆), Sarah couldn’t help but feel the familiar rush of anticipation. The smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of having a cup of coffee was her little daily enjoyment.
The line of cars went forward slowly, and soon, Sarah found herself at the drive-through window. She reached for her purse to pay, but before she could hand over her credit card, the cashier smiled and said, “Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you.” “Really?” she asked, both surprised and grateful. The cashier nodded. “Yes, the woman in the car ahead wanted to pay it forward today. Enjoy your coffee!”
With a warm smile, Sarah accepted the free coffee and drove away. The unexpected act of kindness was in her mind as she drank the delicious coffee. It put a spring in her step and a smile on her face, making her presentation a little less worrying.
As she exited the drive-through, Sarah glanced in her rearview (后视的) mirror at the next car approaching the coffee shop window. An idea began to form in her mind. Maybe she could do the same, pay it forward and brighten someone else’s morning. She decided to stick around, park her car and go back into the coffee shop. She approached the cashier and said, “I’d like to pay for the coffee of the person in the car behind me.” The cashier smiled and nodded, processing the payment. Sarah knew she had just started a chain of kindness, and she felt a warm sense of satisfaction.

The acts of kindness kept on coming.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
As she walked to her car, Sarah was lost in thought. How would the next driver react? Would they continue the chain of goodwill? She watched from her car as the driver behind her pulled up to the window. The cashier informed him that his coffee had already been paid for, and then something beautiful happened. The driver, a middle-aged man, smiled and said joyfully, “That’s wonderful! Please use the money I was going to spend to pay for the coffee of the car behind me.” One pays for the coffee of the person behind her, which sparks a chain of good deeds for the entire day.
The acts of kindness kept on coming. A young woman paid for the coffee of a tired mom with a baby in the back seat. A construction worker in a pickup truck covered the cost for a group of excited teenagers on their way to school. An elderly couple even got in on the action, paying for the coffee of a teacher on her way to work. And in the coffee shop, people began to talk about it. The line of cars in the drive-through grew longer as more people wanted to be a part of the phenomenon.
【解析】
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开,讲述了Sarah早上匆忙起床,因为工作中有一个重要的报告,她急需咖啡因来提神。在前往咖啡店的路上,她加入了汽车通道的队列,期待着每天小小的享受——一杯咖啡。到达免下车窗口时,她意外地发现前面车里的女士已经为她支付了咖啡费用。这个善举让Sarah感到惊讶和感激,她的心情因此变得轻松愉快。受到这个善举的启发,Sarah决定也传递这份善意,她回到咖啡店为下一辆车里的人买了咖啡。
