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
【C7】
选项
答案M
解析 空格前有形容词性物主代词his，因此空格处应填入名词。本句意为：他没有上大学，18岁时娶了比他________八岁的安妮.海瑟薇。由句意可知，此处表示安妮.海瑟薇比莎士比亚年长或年轻八岁。而莎士比亚此时才18岁，所以安妮.海瑟薇应该比莎士比亚年长八岁，由此确定答案为M)senior。
