新编英语教程第3册（李观仪主编）第三单元课后练习答案_第三单元练习册答案ComprehensionA.（P32）1. Anne Hathaway got Shakespeare’s real estate.A person’s whole property can be categorized into two kinds: real estate and personal estate. The former refers to land and buildings and the latter refers to money and other kinds of property. Shakespeare left his second best bed and furniture to his wife and the greater part of his estate to Susanna Hall.2. For Anne Hathaway and his married daughter the most interesting part of the will was his signature because without it, the will would not have been valid.Shakespeare was a popular playwright in his day and an author of high standing. There was nothing unusual in his will, but his signature in the will and other signatures were all we have left of his handwriting, so to historians it is the most important and interesting part of the will, it was not so to his wife and daughter in this sense.3. Every detail of Shakespeare’s lif e is fact as well as supposition.Many of his activities are vague to us, and he left behind a great many questions that experts have been trying to answer ever since: the exact date of his birth, the real source of his amazingly detailed knowledge of so many different subjects, his whereabouts during the seven years after departure from Stratford in 1585, the identity of the beautiful “dark lady” and the mystery about his manuscripts. We can well say that almost every detail of his personal life is based on supposition.4. Shakespeare is considered to have been born in Roman times.“Roman times”, refers to the time beginning from the first century up to the fifth century. In the text the writer is stating that many details of Shakespeare’s personal life are so vague to us that it seems as if he had been born in Roman times.5. People in every country r ead Shakespeare’s work with fear.Shakespeare was one of the literary geniuses of all times. His numerous tragedies and comedies as well as verses have won him worldwide fame. He is respected for his amazingly detailed knowledge of different subjects. People all over the world read his work with great admiration and profound respect, not fear.6. Shakespeare’s Elizabethan English is not very difficult to people who understand modern English.This is not so. Elizabethan English belongs to the period of early modern English which is quite different from contemporary English and so it is difficult to understand.7. It is a waste of time for tourists to go to Shakes peare’s birthplace.Since Shakespeare’s plays have won him great fame and since he was a literary genius rare in history, and he enjoyed such a fine reputation, it cannot be considered a waste of time to make the journey to Stratford to see his birthplace and his plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre because these have become things of historic interest.8. It is not surprising that Shakespeare left us nothing but his signature.Shakespeare has been acknowledged to be a great figure of the English Renaissance and one of the greatest writers the worldover. Shakespeare left us 37 plays as well as verse. During his fifteenyears as a working man of the theatre, he wrote more than thirty plays. But experts have been puzzled about the whereabouts of the manuscripts. The only actual example of his writing is the signature on his will and some other signatures.B.

DictationThe Globe Theatre is a playhouse built just outside London in 1599. It is the most famous theatre in history: on its stage Shakespeare’s greatest plays were first performed. Big enough to hold about 2,500 people, the Globe had three levels of galleries surrounding an unroofed yard. Extending from one side of the yard to the centre was an open stage. From the stage floor rose two posts to support an overhanging canopy known as the“heavens”.The Globe was built in London by the Burbage brothers in 1599. At the same time, wishing to bind the Lord Chamberlain’s company closely to the new playhouse, they planned a novel partnership in which the brothers divided ownership of the Globe among themselves and five of the actors in the company, one of whom was Shakespeare.After 1609, when the company opened a second theatre, the Globe became less important. On June 29, 1613, during a performance of Shakespeare’s King Henry the Eighth, fire destroyed the Globe. It was rebuilt within a year but was destroyed again by the Puritans in 1644.Ⅲ.

On their arrival in the city Lucentio and Tranio came across Baptista and his daughters, Katharina and Bianca. These three were accompanied by Gremio and Hortensio, young gentlemen both in love with gentle Bianca. But Baptista would not permit his younger daughter to marry until someone should take Katharina off his hands. Although Katharina was wealthy and beautiful, she was such a shrew that no man would have her. Baptista, not knowing how to control his sharp-tongued daughter, announced that Gremio or Hortensio must find a husband for Katharina before either could court Bianca. He asked them also to find tutors for the two girls, that they might be skilled in music and poetry.Not being seen by Baptista and his daughters, Lucentio and Tranio witnessed this scene. At first sight Lucentio also fell in love with Bianca and determined to have her for himself. His first act was to change clothes with Tranio, so that the servant appeared to be the master. Lucentio then disguised himself as a tutor in order to court Bianca w ithout her father’s knowledge.About the same time Petruchio came to Padua. He was a rich and noble man of Verona. He had come to Padua to visit his friend Hortensio and to find for himself a rich wife. Hortensio told Petruchio of his love for Bianca and o f her father’s orders that she could not marry until a husband had been found for Katharina. Patruchio was quite interested in the stories told about bad-tempered Katharina, particularly the account of her great wealth, and he expressed a desire to meet her.Petruchio easily got Baptista’s permission to marry his daughter Katharina, for the poor man was only too glad to have his older daughter off his hands. Petruchio’s courtship was a str ange one indeed, a battle of wits, words, and wills. Petruchio was determined to bend Katharina to his will, but Katharina looked down upon him and scolded him with a sharp tongue. Nevertheless she must obey her father’s wish and marry him, and the wedding day was set.As part of the taming process, Petruchio arrived late for his wedding, and when he did appear he wore old and torn clothes. Even during the wedding ceremony Petruchio acted like a madman, stamping and swearing. Immediately afterward he dragged Katharina away from the wedding feast and took her to his country home, there to continue his scheme to break her to his will. He gave her no food and no time for sleep, while always pretending that nothing was goodenough for her. In fact, he almost killed her with kindness. Before he was through, Katharina agreed that the moon was the sun, that an old man was a woman.Meanwhile Bianca fell in love with Lucentio, whom she thought to be her tutor and they secretly married. Returning from the church with his bride, Lucentio revealed the whole plot to Baptista and the others. At first Baptista was angry at the way in which he had been tricked, but Vincentio, Lucentio’s father, spoke soothingly and soon cooled his rage.Hortensio, in the meantime, had married a rich widow. To celebrate these weddings, Lucentio gave a feast for all the couples and the fathers. After the ladies had retired, the three newly married men betted one hundred pounds each that his own wife would most quickly obey his commands. Lucentio sent first for Bianca, but she sent word she would not come. Then Hortensio sent for his wife, but she too refused to obey his orders. Petruchio then ordered Katharina to appear, and she came instantly as she was told. At his request she also forced Bianca and Hortensio’s wife to go to their husbands. Baptista was so deli ghted with his daughter’s gentleness and willing submission that he added another twenty thousand crowns to her dowry. Petruchio’s work had been well done. He had tamed the shrew forever.Ⅳ. Translation （P41）A. Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English.1. 凡是听到她不幸遭遇的人无不深表同情。
