　　18 plays ofShakespeare came out only after his death. ___39___ Does the silence ofShakespeare about these plays mean that they were not his at all? And if thatwas so, who wrote them? There are no clear answers to the riddle ofShakespeare. ___40___ There were many knowledgeable, widely travelled and greatliterary figures of the day; and such people might have had a reason forwriting under an assumed name(化名).

　　具体解析

　　【文章解读】作者谈论了关于莎士比亚的疑问。文章结构鲜明，为总分结构。第一段总起，引出话题，接下来提出了四个关于莎士比亚的疑问。解题关键是要理解各段主旨，找准关键词。

　　36.【答案】A

　　【句义】他可能充其量上了一个语法学校。

　　【解析】从线索词来看，选项A中 school 与前句中school or university 构成同义复现;从逻辑与句义衔接上来看，前句讲莎士比亚没有上过任何学，选项讲他充其量只上过语法学校，构成顺承关系。故答案为A。

　　37.【答案】F

　　【句义】然而，他的一些以意大利为背景的戏剧却展现出他对那个国家有很深的了解。

　　【解析】从线索词上来看，选项F中 Italy 与前句中abroad、后句中 a foreign country 构成同义复现;从逻辑与句义衔接上来看，前句讲莎士比亚从未出过国，选项F讲但是他对意大利有很深的了解，构成转折关系，而与后句“莎士比亚没有出过国，是如何了解到这个国家的?”构成顺承关系。故答案为F。

　　38.【答案】C

　　【句义】第一部分话剧是否由他所写仍是一个谜。

　　【解析】从线索词来看，选项C中 thefirst plays 与前句中 his first work 构成同义重复;从逻辑与句义衔接上来看，前句讲莎士比亚的名字第一次出现的时间是在他第一部作品出现的五年之后，自然就会让人怀疑第一部作品是否是由莎士比亚所写，与选项C契合。故答案为C。

　　39.【答案】B

　　【句义】但是在莎士比亚的遗嘱中根本没有提到它们。

　　【解析】从线索词来看，选项B中them 指代前句中的 18 plays，no mention 与后句中 silence 构成同义重复;从逻辑与句义衔接上来看，前句说18部作品出现在莎士比亚去世后，选项B讲在他的遗嘱中也没有提到这18部作品，而后句中产生疑问：这18部作品是否是他所写，构成明显顺承关系。故答案为B。

　　40.【答案】G

　　【句义】有疑问的学者认为，另有他人写了这些作品，只是它们被归于莎士比亚。

　　【解析】从线索词来看，选项G中 doubting 与前句中 no clear answers、riddle 构成同义重复，somebody else 与后句中many figures 构成同义重复。故答案为G。
