Question

My name is Toby. I’m eighty-three years old now. I once knew

Answer 1

小题1:D

小题2:B

小题3:A

小题4:C

短文属于记叙文。作者讲述了他的朋友William Shakespeare的生平及艺术生涯。

小题1:细节理解题。从第一段“My name is Toby.”和“I first met William…in October, 1579”可知。

小题2:综合理解题。通过第一段“He had … two younger brothers, Gilbert and Richard.”和“ And the next year he had another brother, Edmund.”这两句可知Edmund在这五兄妹中最小；而且，后面讲述了他父母死后的事情。综合这些信息，可以推测，没有比Edmund更小的了。

小题3:词义猜测题。根据上一句中“William wrote 37 plays in all.”可知。

小题4:细节理解题。从第三段“He wrote a play about love in 1595. It was Romeo and Juliet .”可知。
