Authors wrote plays for the masses, especially those who couldn39。t read or write. The theatre changed a lot during Shakespeare39。s lifetime. The authorities didn39。t like it and didn39。t allow acting in the city itself: They thought it had a bad influence on people and kept them from going to church. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, loved acting and helped the theatre bee popular. The theatre in Shakespeare39。s time was full of life. People did not sit all the time and it was not quiet during the performance. The audience could walk around, eat and drink during the play. Theaters were open arenas or playhouses that had room for up to three thousand people. There was almost no scenery because the dialogue was the most important part of the play. Colourful and welldesigned costumes were very important and told the people about the status of a character. Women never performed in plays, 80 young boys played female characters. The performances took place in the afternoon because it was too dark at night. There was no stage crew as there is today. Actors had to do everything themselvesfrom making costumes to setting the stage. Plays were organized by acting panies. They performed about 6 different plays each week because they needed money to survive. They had almost no time to rehearse (排練). The panies in Shakespeare39。s time had a rank system. The pany belonged to shareholders and managers. They were responsible for everything and got most of the money when the pany was successful. Sometimes they even owned their own buildings. Actors worked for the managers and after some time became a permanent member of the pany. Apprentices (學徒) were young boys and were allowed to act in unimportant role. They also played female characters in plays.(1)Why was the theatre banned by the authorities? A.It was much different than before.B.They thought it affected people negatively.C.They thought it kept people going to church.D.The queen didn39。t like it.(2)What does the underlined word arenas in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Stages.B.Stores.C.Companies.D.Playgrounds.(3)What do we know about then actors? A.They could drink during the play.B.Women had to crossdress male characters.C.They had stage crew to help them.D.They were too busy to practice.(4)What is the author39。s purpose in writing the text? A.To remember Shakespeare.B.To show his love of Shakespeare39。s plays.C.To introduce theaters in Shakespeare39。s time.D.To discuss the pany39。s rank system.【答案】 (1)B(2)A(3)D(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了莎士比亞時代的戲劇表演的情況以及當時演員的狀況。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的“The authorities didn39。t like it and didn39。t allow acting in the city itself: They thought it had a bad influence on people and kept them from going to church.”可知,當權者不喜歡戲劇,不允許在城市里表演,因為他們認為對人們有不好的影響,所以阻止人們去教堂,故選B。 (2)考查詞義猜測。根據第四段中的“Theaters were open arenas or playhouses that had room for up to three thousand people. ”可知arenas與playhouses 是同義詞,playhouses是一個可以容納多達3000觀眾的地方看戲劇表演的地方,因而arenas是開闊的舞臺,故選A。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據倒數第二段中的“They performed about 6 different plays each week because th
