问题     It is commonly believed that the great English dramatist and poet William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-on-Avon on April 23, 1564. But it is impossible to know the【C1】________day on which he was born. Church records show he was baptized (施洗礼) on April 26, and three days was a customary amount of time to wait before baptizing a newly born baby. Shakespeare’s date of death is【C2】________known, however: it was April 23, 1616. He was 52 and had retired to Stratford three years before.
    Although few plays have been performed or analyzed as extensively as the 38 plays Shakespeare wrote, there are few surviving details about his life. This 【C3】________of biographical information is due primarily to his social【C4】________; he was not a noble, but the son of a leather trader.
    Shakespeare【C5】________attended the grammar school in Stratford, where he would have studied Latin and read【C6】________literature. He did not go to university and at age 18 married Anne Hathaway, who was eight years his【C7】________. They had four children, including the twins, Hamnet and Judith. Nothing is known of the period between the birth of the twins and Shakespeare’s【C8】________as a dramatist in London in the early 1590s.
    In a million words written over 20 years, he【C9】________the full range of human emotions and conflicts with a【C10】________that remains sharp today. As his great contemporary the poet and dramatist Ben Jonson said, "He was not of an age, but for all time."
A)  captured
B)  classical
C)  conclusively
D)  emergence
E)  exact
F)  generated
G)  particular
H)  position
I)   precision
J)   probably
K)  quality
L)  scarcity
M)  senior
N)  separated
O)  systematically
【C2】
选项
答案C
解析 空格后是形容词known，因此空格处应填入副词。本句意为：然而，莎士比亚的死亡日期是________知道的：1616年4月23日。however表示转折关系，本句与前面提到的莎士比亚的具体出生日期不明形成对比。也就是说，莎士比亚的死亡日期是准确的，因此空格处应填入含有“确信地，确凿地”意义的副词，由此确定答案为C)conclusively。
