【正文】 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了英國和法國這兩個歐洲相鄰國家各自生活方式上的特點(diǎn)。英國人想要在法國生活，因為法國有更好的氣候和更放松的生活方式，有一些歐洲最長的假期。它被認(rèn)為在從健康到交通的各個領(lǐng)域都有更好的公共服務(wù)。而每年大約有15000名法國人來到英國居住，主要定居在倫敦。他們被英國更高的工資、更低的稅收、更有活力的生活方式所吸引。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations.”可知一些英國人想要去法國生活的原因是他們希望有更長的假期。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“They are attracted by higher pay in Britain, lower taxes, a more dynamic lifestyle.”可知一些法國人主要定居在倫敦是因為他們被英國更高的工資、更低的稅收、更有活力的生活方式所吸引。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle, with some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health to transport.”可知法國有更好的氣候和更放松的生活方式，有一些歐洲最長的假期。它被認(rèn)為在從健康到交通的各個領(lǐng)域都有更好的公共服務(wù)。因此適合人們生活；而根據(jù)最后一段中的“They are attracted by higher pay in Britain, lower taxes, a more dynamic lifestyle.”可知倫敦的工資更高、稅收更低以及生活方式更有活力，因此適合人們工作。綜上，兩國人們最理想的生活方式是：在倫敦工作，在法國生活。故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Britain and France are two important countries in Europe. They are neighbors, separated only by the 20mile seaway of the English Channel.”可知英國和法國是歐洲的兩個重要國家。他們是鄰居，只隔著20英里遠(yuǎn)的英吉利海峽。因此可以推測這兩個國家的人都在變得更加歐洲化，故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 The theatre in Shakespeare39。s time was much different than it is today. 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(xué)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?

They had almost no time to rehearse (排練).”可知，每周表演六個不同的戲劇，因此沒有時間排練，可知他們很忙，故選D。 （4）考查寫作意圖。根據(jù)文章可知，本文主要介紹了莎士比亞時代的戲劇表演的情況以及當(dāng)時演員的狀況，故本文在介紹莎士比亞時代的劇院，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和寫作意圖四個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Corporate culture is the values and beliefs a pany develops over time. The role of corporate culture is to improve a pany39。s mission and strategies, with longterm hopes of improvements in a pany39。s profit. Mostly corporate culture es from a pany39。s top management. One role of corporate culture is to influence employee behavior, honesty, and pliance（服從）. A pany does not have to necessarily create a direct influence for these actions. A direct influence may be a set of written regulations or other policies, and while these may be in place, the corporate culture is usually more of an indirect influence. While many panies try to create corporate culture through the use of written policies, its role is harder to define. The human factor has an influence on how corporate culture is expressed. The way uppermanagement acts and reacts to various situations defines how lowerlevel employees will act, and this aspect may be more important than any written policy. A pany39。s corporate culture can also extend beyond the walls of the business. Consumers who believe a pany to be honest and forthright（直率）may be more loyal in their buying behavior. Employees in a pany39。s customer service department can also exhibit positive corporate culture to outside individuals. In this case, the culture creates
