[ A]該市拿不出擴建工程的費用。 ,我們可知:。他們完全是為看戲而不是為觀光而來的。當然,真實的原因是物價在飛漲而票價卻一直維持得很低。 不管怎樣,鎮(zhèn)上的居民也不能理解為什么皇家莎士比亞演出公司需要財政補貼(劇院已經(jīng)連續(xù)三年打破上座率。但是,幾乎鎮(zhèn)上的每一個旅館都在大興土木,擴建新的側(cè)樓或建造雞尾酒大廳。 鎮(zhèn)上的市民們可不這么看問題,而鎮(zhèn)議政廳(市政府)也不會直接撥款資助補貼演出公司。因此皇家演出公司的演員們爭辯說:正是這些看戲客們帶來了小鎮(zhèn)的大部分收入,因為他們要過夜(有人甚至住四、五夜),這就把大量的錢財消費在鎮(zhèn)旅館和飯店里。坐大客車來的觀光客們(通常也順道看一下沃里克古堡和布倫海姆皇宮)一般不看戲,其中有些人看到該鎮(zhèn)竟然有一個劇場時還會感到吃驚。他們很坦白自己不喜歡 RSC 的演員們,那些人留著長發(fā),蓄著胡須,穿著便鞋,吵吵鬧鬧。另一邊則是靠游客謀生的市民們,那些游客來這兒不是為了看戲,而是 為了看 Anne Hathaway 小屋,莎翁的出生地和其他景點。 莎士比亞業(yè) 但是,卻存在著兩個截然不同并且越來越互相敵對的分支。(言外之意:那為什么不幫助劇團呢?)注意:作者態(tài)度常藏在 但是 一詞后面。比如,第二段提到,鎮(zhèn)上居民討厭演員,殊不知為鎮(zhèn)上居民們( who earns their living)帶來謀生手段的莎翁本人也是個演員。 29.[答案] D [解析]看完第五段可知:該鎮(zhèn)居民并不認為政府應該給劇團補貼,因為他們的上座率很高嘛!故選 D。所以選 C: 哭窮 并不是真缺錢。 28.[答案] C [解析]本題問道作者說 Stratford 鎮(zhèn)(政府)傳統(tǒng)上喜歡 哭窮 ,意 味著什么? 哭窮 當然不是真窮,這從下文 但是 ( Nevertheless)后可以看出。故只能選 A:鎮(zhèn)上居民不認為劇團對該鎮(zhèn)的經(jīng)濟做出了什么貢獻。 我們只好再看第二段(查找閱讀,此之謂也)。第一段談到了在莎士比亞的故鄉(xiāng),有兩派:一派是劇團的演員;另一派是鎮(zhèn)上的居民。 難句 5 They all seem to look alike (though they e from all over) lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night 最專業(yè)的學習資料下載網(wǎng)站 最專業(yè)的學習資料下載網(wǎng)站 on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 .

There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who e, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway’s Cotta ge, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights. The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSC’s actors , them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise making. The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who e by busand often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the sidedon’t usually s ee the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sight seeing along with their playgoing. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town’s revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall. The townsfolk don’t see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Co mpany. Stratford cries poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive. Anyway, the townsfolk can’t understand why the Royal Shakespea re Company needs a subsidy. (The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 per cent occupied all year long and this year they’ll do better.) The reason, of course, is that cost s have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low. It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive clientele. They e entirely for the plays, not the sights. They all seem to look alike (though they e from all over)lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 . 26.
