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
【C1】
选项
答案E
解析 空格前有定冠词the，空格后是名词day，因此空格处应填入形容词。本句意为：但是不可能知道他出生的________日期。根据下一句可知，教会记录显示，莎士比亚于4月26日受洗，在为新生婴儿施洗之前，通常需要等待三天。因此莎士比亚生于4月23日是人们根据教会受洗记录的推测，而他的确切出生日期无从得知，因此空格处应填入含有“确切的，精确的”意义的形容词，由此确定答案为E)exact。
