Reading Comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当答案)Bruce Richmond is the favourite English teacher of the Year 2023 in Maple High School. Hundreds of students join his month-long free online writing lessons. Besides reading Shakespeare’s plays, he enjoys helping his students learn how to write. Now he is answering his students’ questions in the weekly Q&A section online and offering them some suggestions.SamBruceRichmond________Tip 1 Use clever names. Well, quite often Shakespeare gives information about what a person in a play is like through their names. For example, Romeo’s name means a person being romantic and kind. Benvolio can be nice and friendly. Falstaff is a character in Henry IV and he is lazy and funny. Now think what you can call a person in a play who is angry and hot-tempered all the time? Yes. Maybe Rage or Fury.Anna LiuBruceRichmondHow can I express my ideas and feelings in a way full of life?Tip 2 Try metaphors. Shakespeare was a fan of metaphors. A metaphor is a way of comparing one thing with something else to show ideas, feelings, places and more. And the two things usually have the same qualities. In the play As You Like It, he writes, “________” What do you think of the metaphor in this sentence?ThomasBruceRichmondWhat should I do if I can’t find a proper word?Tip 3 ________. Eyeball. Lonely. Unreal... All these were created by Shakespeare. If you have an idea that you can’t think of a word for, be like Shakespeare and create your own. If you want to create words that mean something and may stand the test of time, try creating words like this: breakfast + lunch = brunch. And you can start with making up words for everyday things in your home. Bruce RichmondDo you want to write like Shakespeare?
