2020年浙江省高考英语试卷
一、阅读理解
1.I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for
editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with
others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that
I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright（剧作家）hopes
to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create
a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point
out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would,
indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays
and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is
represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and
regional drama. To show the versatility（多面性）of the short play, I have
included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell,
Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams
have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More
information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage,
with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim（变暗）. The
curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will
tell you the story.
