see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point. These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classics.

Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare’s actual play. If that is the case then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language. Reading someone else’s rewriting of his work is like peeling (剥皮) a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.

31.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The language used in classics is no longer in use today. B. British students usually find compulsory reading dull. C. Only those studying literature read Shakespeare’s works

D. For British people, Shakespeare’s works are no longer classics. 32.According to the passage, the writer____________. A. has liked literary classics since an early age. B. was forced to read the classics for a PhD

C. turned to literature to seek answers in his teens. D. thinks only people who read books like literature.

33. The popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works may help people_________. A. learn more about tradition. B. get a PhD in literature

C. seek their answers about the world. D. become more interested in the classics

34. The underlined phrase “a case in point” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. a great hit B. a good example C. a movie adaptation D. a popular phenomenon 35. What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. The fruit of a banana is more useful than its skin. B. The rewriting trend does more harm than good. C. Readers should try to read the original versions. D. Readers need to learn the language in the classics. 四．七选五(3*5=15’)
