27、The theatre in Shakespeare’s time was much different than it is today. Authors wrote plays for the masses, especially those who couldn’t read or write.
The theatre changed a lot during Shakespeare’s lifetime. The authorities didn’t like it and didn’t allow acting in the city itself. They thought it had a bad influence on people and kept them from going to church. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, loved acting and helped the theatre become popular.
The theatre in Shakespeare’s time was full of life. People did not sit all the time and it was not quiet during the performance. The audience could walk around, eat and drink during the play.
Theatres were open arenas or playhouses that had room for up to three thousand people. There was almost no scenery because the dialogue was the most important part of the play. Colourful and well-designed costumes were very important and told the people about the status of a character. Women never performed in plays, so young boys played female characters. The performances took place in the afternoon because it was too dark at night.
There was no stage crew as there is today. Actors had to do everything themselves — from making costumes to setting the stage. Plays were organized by acting companies. They performed about 6 different plays each week because they needed money to survive. They had almost no time to rehearse (排练).
The companies in Shakespeare’s time had a rank system. The companies belonged to shareholders and managers. They were responsible for everything and got most of the money when the company was successful. Sometimes they even owned their own buildings. Actors worked for the managers and after some time became a permanent member of the company. Apprentices (学徒) were young boys and were allowed to act in unimportant roles. They also played female characters in plays.
【1】Why was the theatre banned by the authorities?
A.It was much different than before.
B.They thought it affected people negatively.
C.They thought it kept people going to church.
D.The queen didn’t like it.
【2】What does the underlined word “arenas” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Stages.

C.Companies.
D.Systems.
【3】What do we know about the actors?
A.They could drink during the play.
B.They were rich by running acting companies.
C.They had stage crew to help them.
D.They were too busy to practice.
【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A.To remember Shakespeare.
B.To show his love of Shakespeare’s plays.
C.To introduce theatres in Shakespeare’s time.
D.To discuss the company’s rank system.
28、Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest thinkers in the world, began his career as an artist. Very little is known about Leonardo’s early life. He was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci. As a boy, Leonardo showed a great interest in drawing, sculpting and observing nature.
However, because Leonardo was born to parents who were not married to each other, he was barred from some studies and professions. He trained as an artist after moving to Florence with his father in the 1460s. It was an exciting time to be in Florence, one of the cultural capitals of Europe. Leonardo trained with one of the city’s very successful artists, Andrea del Verrocchio. He was a painter, sculptor and gold worker. Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the body’s bones and muscles when drawing people.
Leonardo took the teacher’s advice very seriously. He spent several periods of his life studying the human body by taking apart and examining dead bodies. While training as an artist, Leonardo also learned about and improved on relatively new painting methods at the time. One was the use of perspective (透视) to show depth. A method called “sfumato” helped to create a cloudy effect to suggest distance. “Chiaroscuro” is a method using light and shade as a painterly effect.
Leonardo’s first known portrait now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. He made this painting of a young woman named Ginevra de’ Benci around 1474. The woman has a pale face with dark hair. In the distance, Leonardo painted the Italian countryside.
He soon received attention for his extraordinary artistic skills. Around 1475 he was asked to draw an angel in Verrocchio’s painting The Baptism of Christ. One story says that when Verrocchio saw Leonardo’s addition to the painting, he was so amazed by his student’s skill that he said he would never paint again.
【1】What does the underlined word “barred” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Saved.
B.Stopped.
C.Protected.
D.Separated.
【2】“Sfumato” and “Chiaroscuro” are mentioned in the text to show ________ .
A.the ways of art training
B.Andrea’s teaching methods
C.the difficulty in learning art
D.Leonardo’ devotion to drawing
【3】What resulted in Leonardo’ first fame? ________
A.Ginevra de’ Benci.
B.The Baptism of Christ.
C.Andrea’s appreciation.
D.The Italian countryside painting.

A.Verrocchio didn’t like Leonardo’s work
B.Verrocchio thought Leonardo’s work terrible
C.Verrocchio thought much of Leonardo’s work

Steve grabbed his bat and glove. “See you later, Mom. I’m going to Paul’s.” He raced out the door and slammed it behind him. Summer vacation just began. The boys planned to play baseball every day so they could make the freshman team.
Paul was waiting outside for Steve. “What are you doing? Where’s your stuff?” Steve lifted his bat onto his shoulder when catching sight of Paul.
Paul shook his head unhappily. “I have to clean Mr Thompson’s garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can’t do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help the Thompson’s. They’re kind of old.”
“OK” said Steve. “I’ll help you. We’ll get done quicker working together.”
