Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your BANSWER BOOKLET./B You may take notes while you are listening.Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has on

35、ly one industry-William Shakespeare-but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off

36、the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaways Cottage, Shakespeares birthplace and the other sights.The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSCs actors, them with their long hair and beards and sand

37、als and noisiness. Its all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus-and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim

38、Palace on the sidedont usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the towns revenue because they spend the ni

39、ght (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.The townsfolk dont see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford cri

40、es poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive.

41、Anyway, the townsfolk cant understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. (The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1, 431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year theyll do better. ) The reason, of course, is that costs have

42、rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratfords most attractive clientele. They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)lean, point

43、ed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10.30 a.m.（分数：10.00）(1).From the first two parag

44、raphs, we learn that_.（分数：2.00）A.(A) the townsfolk deny the RSCs contribution to the towns revenueB.(B) the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stageC.(C) the two branches of the RSC are not on good termsD.(D) the townsfolk earn little from tourism(2).It can be inferred from paragraph 3

45、 that_.（分数：2.00）A.(A) the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separatelyB.(B) the playgoers spend more money than the sightseersC.(C) the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoersD.(D) the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater(3).By saying “Stratford cries poor traditionally“ (Line 2-3, paragraph 4), the author implies that_.（分数：2.00）A.(A) Stratford cannot afford the expansion projectsB.(B) Stratford has long been i
