(1) Children as young as four will study Shakespeare in a project being launched today by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
(2) The RSC is holding its first national conference for primary school teachers to encourage them to use the Bard’s plays imaginatively in the classroom from reception classes onwards. The conference will be told that they should learn how Shakespearian characters like Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream are "jolly characters" and how to write about them.
(3) At present, the national curriculum does not require pupils to approach Shakespeare until secondary school. All it says is that pupils should study "texts drawn from a variety of cultures and traditions" and "myths, legends and traditional stories".
(4) However, educationists at the RSC believe children will gain a better appreciation of Shakespeare if they are introduced to him at a much younger age. "Even very young children can enjoy Shakespeare’s plays," said Mary Johnson, head of the learning department. "It is just a question of pitching it for the age group. Even reception classes and key stage one pupils (five- to seven-year-olds) can enjoy his stories. For instance, if you build up Puck as a character who skips, children of that age can enjoy the character. They can be inspired by Puck and they could even start writing about him at that age. "
(5) It is the RSC’s belief that building the Bard up as a fun playwright in primary school could counter some of the negative images conjured up about teaching Shakespeare in secondary schools. Then, pupils have to concentrate on scenes from the plays to answer questions for compulsory English national-curriculum tests for 14-year-olds. Critics of the tests have complained that pupils no longer have the time to study or read the whole play—and therefore lose interest in Shakespeare.
(6) However, Ms. Johnson is encouraging teachers to present 20-minute versions of the plays—a classroom version of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Complete Works of Shakespeare {Abridged) which told his 37 plays in 97 minutes—to give pupils a flavour of the whole drama.
(7) The RSC’s venture coincides with a call for schools to allow pupils to be more creative in writing about Shakespeare. Professor Kate McLuskie, the new director of the University of Birmingham’s Shakespeare Institute—also based in Stratford—said it was time to get away from the idea that there was " a right answer" to any question about Shakespeare. Her first foray into the world of Shakespeare was to berate him as a misogynist in a 1985 essay but she now insists this should not be interpreted as a criticism of his works—although she admits: "I probably wouldn’t have written it quite the same way if I had been writing it now. What we should be doing is making sure that someone is getting something out of Shakespeare," she said. " People are very scared about getting the right answer. I know it’s difficult but I don’t care if they come up with a right answer that I can agree with about Shakespeare. " [br] Which of the following is INCORRECT according to the last paragraph?
选项
A、Professor Kate McLuskie once scolded Shakespeare in her essay.
B、Professor Kate McLuskie insisted on her view on Shakespeare till now.
C、Professor Kate McLuskie has changed her idea.
D、Ms. Kate thinks it is time to get away from the idea that there is "a right answer" to any question about Shakespeare.
答案
B
解析
细节题。文章最后一段通过凯特教授提出了如何阅读莎士比亚的问题。她曾经在早年写文章认为莎士比亚是位厌恶女人的人,但是现在她已不从这个角度看待莎士比亚及其作品了,这说明她的看法改变了,因此[B]的说法是错误的,所以[B]是正确答案。
