答案：AⅡ.阅读理解(建议用时10′)Shakespeare's SisterLet us imagine，since facts are so hard to come by，what would have happened had Shakespeare had a wonderfully gifted sister，called Judith.Shakespeare himself went，very probably — his mother was an heiress — to the grammar school，where he may have learnt Latin —Ovid，Virgil and Horace —and the elements of grammar and logic.He was，as is well-known，a wild boy who poached (偷猎) rabbits，perhaps shot a deer，and had，rather sooner than he should have done，to marry a woman in the neighborhood，who bore him a child.That escapade sent him to seek his fortune in London.He had a taste for the theatre；he began by holding horses at the stage door.V ery soon he got work in the theatre，became a successful actor，and lived at the centre of the universe，meeting everybody，knowing everybody，practicing his art on the boards，exercising his wits in the streets，and even getting access to the palace of the queen.Meanwhile his extraordinarily gifted sister remained at home.She was as adventurous，as imaginative，as curious to see the world as he was.But she was not sent to school.She had no chance of learning grammar and logic，let alone of reading Horace and Virgil.She picked up a book now and then，one of her brother's perhaps，and read a few pages.But then her parents camein and told her to mend the stockings or mind the stew (炖锅) and not moon about with books and papers.They would have spoken sharply but kindly，for they were practical people who knew the conditions of life for a woman.Soon，however，before she was out of her teens，she was to be engaged to the son of a neighboring wool stapler (经销商)．She cried out that marriage was hateful to her，and for that she was severely beaten by her father.Then he ceased to scold her.He begged her instead not to hurt him，not to shame him in this matter of her marriage.He would give her a chain of beads or fine dresses，he said；and there were tears in his eyes.How could she disobey him? How could she break his heart?The force of her own gift alone drove her to it.She made up a small parcel of her belongings，let herself down by a rope one summer's night and took the road to London.She was not seventeen.The birds that sang in the woods were not more musical than she was.She had the quickest fancy，a gift like her brother's，for the tune of words.Like him，she had a taste for the theatre.She stood at the stage door；she wanted to act，she said.Men laughed in her face.The manager — a fat，loose-lipped man — howled with laughter.He roared something about puppies dancing and women acting — no woman，he said，could possibly be an actress.She could get no training in her craft.Could she even seek her dinner in a bar or roam (游荡) the streets at midnight? Yet her genius was for fiction and lusted for to feed abundantly upon the lives of men and women and the study of their ways.At last — for she was very young，oddly like Shakespeare the poet in her face，with the same grey eyes and rounded brows — at last Nick Greene the actor-manager took pity on her；she found herself with a child by that gentleman and so — who shall measure the heat and violence of the poet's heart when caught and confined in a woman's body? — killed herself one winter's night and lies buried at some cross-roads where the omnibuses (公共汽车) now stop outside the Elephant and Castle.That，more or less，is how the story would run，if a woman in Shakespeare'day had had Shakespeare's genius.[语篇解读]本文是记叙文，题材是人物故事类。
