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
【C8】
选项
答案D
解析 空格前有名词属格Shakespeare’s，因此空格处应填入名词。本句意为：从双胞胎出生到16世纪90年代初莎士比亚在伦敦作为戏剧家________之间的这个阶段人们一无所知。根据文章大意，人们对莎士比亚在伦敦成名之后的生活细节了解得比较多，而对在此之前的知之甚少，所以这一时期指的是莎士比亚成名之前，因此空格处应填入含有“出现”意义的名词，由此确定答案为D)emergence。
