The project will be delivered by the Royal Shakespeare Company, who has also received government funding for a tour of China.The plays and poetry of William S hakespeare are arguably England’s greatest cultural treasure. Every schoolchild studies his work, and he is considered to be the greatest Englishman to ever use a pen. Until the 20th century though, Shakespeare was almostunknown in China. The new translations and accompanying tour will bring Shakespeare toa wider audience in China. What, though, do those from the land of Shakespeare’s birthfeel about their government sponsoring this project?Only a very few were angry about this use of taxpayers’ money, with most expressing pride that "their" playwright was to be presented again in the world’s most spoken language. However, there are some huge challenges involved in translating Shakespeare into Chinese.The first translations of Shakespeare into Chinese were by Lin Shu (1852-1924). They were not direct translations, but taken from a children’s book of prose(散文) adaptations of Shakespeare’s stories. The first Chinese encounters(相遇) with Shakespeare were therefore not with the verse (韵文)of his plays but the stories and characters in a simplified format.The influen ce of Shakespeare’s storylines has definitely been greater than that of his language. Shakespeare’s language does not easily submit to translation Many of the words, figures of speech and references are too archaic(古体的)to be understood even by native English speakers. Much of Shakespeare is written in verse limited by rhythm and rhyme.This is particularly difficult when translating into Chinese.Besides, Shakespeare’s “History Plays” present a different challenge to the Chinese translator. As dramatizations of real historical events, these plays require the translator to have a thorough knowledge of British history. Meanwhile, Shakespeare’s comedic moments are often based on puns(双关语). These are really difficult to translate directly.31. What can we learn about the complete works of Shakespeare?A. They mainly focus on British history.B. They are worth about £1. 5 million.C. They will all be adapted for plays.D. They will be shared more widely.32. What were the first Chinese translations of Shakespeare based on?A. Original plays B Incomplete editionsC. Simplified storiesD. Orally told stories33. The last two paragraphs mainly tell us translating Shakespeare into ChineseA. is no easy taskB. is a waste of timeC.is very interestingD. is useful for English learnersB2Imagine you enter a car with no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator pedal (加速踏板). Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it?” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is sit back and relax.How wonderful would it be if one day in the future, everyone had such a car? No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and, if the increased safety assessments really pan out as they seem to be, much safer driving. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制) and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly. There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be an enormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop: some 94% of road accidents in the US involve human errors. Older drivers and visually-or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would greatly reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. Roads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the US Department of Labor, in May 2015 there were 505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the US. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be cooperating with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for these people, many of whom will be replaced by the new technology. This is similar to what's happening in the coal and oil industries, a situation that fuels much of the current political dissatisfaction in this country.New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress can't be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.34. What would be the effect of the wide use of driverless cars ?A. More policemen would inspect the streets.B. People would never feel angry about the traffic.C. It would save local governments a lot of money.D. Traffic regulations would be a thing of the past.35. What would be the negative effect of driverless cars?A. The conflict between labor and management would sharpen.B. Many drivers would have to find new ways of earning a living.C. Drivers would have a hard time adapting to new road conditions.D. The gap between various departments of society would be widened.36. What does the author suggest the businesses and the government do?A. Enable everyone to benefit from new technologies.B. Keep pace with technological developments.C. Make new technologies affordable to everyone.D. Popularize the use of new technologies and devicesCHundreds of thousands of kids from over 80 countries will skip school later this year and take to the streets to save our planet. It is a plea (恳求) to government officials and business leaders to take immediate action against climate change.The global youth environmental movement began with a single concerned teenager－l6-year-old Greta Thunberg. The Swedish resident was first exposed to climate change when she was just eight years o ld. She says, “I remember when I was younger, our teachers showed us films of plastic in the ocean, starving polar bears and so on. I cried through all the movies. Those pictures were stuck in my head."Over the next few years, the youngster convinced her parents to reduce their carbon footprint. Her mother, a world-famous opera singer, stopped flying, even though it severely impacted her career, while her father became a vegetarian.In 2018, following a record heat wave in Europe and a series of massive forest fires in Sweden, the young girl decided to take her concerns to a national level. She organized a school strike,but the effort failed. However, that did not stop the determined teen from trying to achieve her goal. From August 20, 2018 to September 9, 2018－the day of Sweden's general elections－Greta skipped school and spent the days sitting on the pavement outside the parliament building in central Stockholm.“I painted the sign on a piece of wood and, for the flyers, wrote down some facts I thought everyone should know,” she recalls. “The first day, I sat alone from about 8:30 am3to 3 pm－the regular school day. And then on the second day, people started joining me. After that, there were people there all the time.”Greta now attends school four days a week and spends every Friday protesting outside the parliament building. She plans on continuing this until the Swedish government's environmental policies align with those outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement. The young activist, prai sed by experts as “the best news for the climate movement in decades”, has also become the unlikely face of the environmental debate.37. What do we know about Greta from the passage?A. She has badly performed in school since childhood.B. She was deeply influenced by eco-destruction movies at a young ageC. She wants to get a chance to meet some famous politicians.D. She asked her parents to decrease their working hours to reduce their carbon footprint.38. What was the purpose of Greta’ s action?A. To urge the government to improve the environmental policies.B. To share her paintings and flyers with more people.C. To encourage more young teenagers to skip school to help her.D. To call for compulsory climate change education in schools.39. What do the underlined words “align with” mean in the last paragraph?A. Get along with.B. Deal with.C. Come into line withD. Compete with.40. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Worldwide Youth PlanB. Discussion About a StrikeC. An Unforgettable PictureD.
