The book is a dramatic work by Shakespear, an English famous writer in the 16th century. It talks about something happening between merchants in Venice. The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylock and Antonio.The drama begins with Antonio, who helps Bassanio borrow money from Shylock, and then brings out other stories. Bassanio is a poor merchant. He needs money to follow his dream to marry Portia—a very beautiful and rich lady. He first wants to borrow money from his friend Antonio, also a merchant in Venice. Antonio borrows the money from a Jewish rich merchant Shylock. Antonio does much harm to Shylock before because Antonio really hates Jewish. Shylock is a little mean and loves money very much. He always gets interest from the people who borrow money from him. Antonio promises he will pay the money back in three months, or Shylock will be allowed to cut out 1 pound of flesh out of Antonio’s body.Bassanio successfully wins the love of Portia but soon realizes his friend can not pay the money back to Shylock on time. Bassanio returns to Venice as fast as he can and attends a trial(审讯).The reason why Antonio isn’t able to pay is because his ships are caught in storm. Portia, dressing up as a young lawyer, claims (声称) that the words “ 1 pound of flesh” not “1 pound of flesh and blood”. Sh e says that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible. Thus, she helps make Antonio safe and make Shylock fail. At the same time, Shylock loses most of his money. At the end, .1．The drama has ________ main characters mentioned in this passage.A．two B．three C．four D．five2．According to the passage, which of the following is true?A．The story happens between merchants in England in the 17th century.B．Antonio can’t return the money because his ships are caught in storm.C．Shylock is a Jewish rich merchant and he is generous to everyone.D．Portia is a real lawyer and she is clever enough to save Antonio’s life.3．Which one can be used to describe Bassanio?① A true friend ② A romantic lover ③ A poor merchant ④ A mean JewishA．①②④B．②③④C．①③④D．①②③4．We can put ___________ in the blank “” in Paragraph 3.A．Antonio takes pity on ShylockB．Bassanio and Portia have a happy endingC．everyone including Shylock lives a happy lifeD．everyone including Shylock lives a sad lifeB14、Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(援救)dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat.How does it work? First，the rat is trained to smell people. Whenthishappens，the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats ar e better. “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark，they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don’t need electricity!The “rat project” is not fi nished，but a scientist says，“It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to，and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake，of course).1．In the writer’s opinion，rats may become man’s new friends because.A．they can be food for peopleB．they can help rescuers to find living peopleC．they are lovelyD．they can completely take the place of man to carry out rescue jobs2．What does the underlined word “this” mean?A．An earthquake.B．The rat has smelled a personC．The rat has smelled that someone is alive .D．The rat has found a robot.3．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Rats don’t need electricity.B．Rats are better than robots when smelling.C．Rats are as clever as radios.D．Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.4．Why does the “rat project” sound great according to the passage?A．Because rats can get into very small spaces.B．Because rats have better noses than dogs.C．Because rats don’t like robots.D．Because rats are brave.5．Which is the best title of this passage?A．Ways of saving people B．Rats and robotsC．After earthquake D．Rats for rescueC15、In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece.
