[2026 辽宁沈阳期末]In Venice, Antonio, a merchant, borrowed money from Shylock, a greedy person who lent money to people. They signed an unfair contract. If Antonio couldn't return the money, Shylock could get Antonio's one pound ( 1 pound ≈ 0.45 kilograms ) of flesh. Unluckily, he failed to pay back the money. The case was now in the hands of the wise judge Portia.
Judge Portia gave her decision, "One pound of the merchant's flesh is yours. It's what the contract says. You may take his flesh." Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready. "Wait!" said Portia. "You will not do anything not written in the contract. Is that right, Shylock?"
" Yes, that's right," said Shylock, wondering what the judge would say next.
"Well," said Portia, "I've read the contract. It doesn't say anything about taking his blood. It says 'a pound of flesh'. You can take your pound of flesh, but you may not take one drop of his blood. If you do, the Duke (公爵) will take everything you own!"
Antonio praised Portia's wisdom. Portia then told Shylock, "You wanted justice (正义), and you'll get it." Shylock didn't want to lose everything, so he decided not to take the flesh. Instead, he asked for money, "Give me ninety thousand dollars, and I'll let Antonio go."
Bassanio, Antonio's friend, was happy to pay. He was very pleased that his friend Antonio would not die. ▲
"Wait!" Portia said again. "Shylock cannot get the money. It is not written in the contract."
Shylock said he only wanted his money back without interest (利息). But Portia stopped him again, "You said you only wanted what was in the contract."
Shylock realized he wouldn't get the flesh or the money. He decided to go home. But Portia stopped him for the third time, "The law of Venice says if you plan to kill a citizen, you'll lose everything. Half of your wealth goes to the person you tried to kill, and half to the Duke."

答案
15—18 D C C B
15. D 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“If Antonio couldn't return the money, Shylock could get Antonio's one pound (1 pound ≈ 0.45 kilograms) of flesh.”可知,如果安东尼奥不能还钱,夏洛克可以得到安东尼奥身上的一磅(1 磅≈0.45 千克)肉。故选 D 项。
16. C 推理判断题。根据前文“Bassanio, Antonio's friend, was happy to pay. He was very pleased that his friend Antonio would not die.”以及后文“‘Wait!’ Portia said again. ‘Shylock cannot get the money. It is not written in the contract.’”可知,波希娅应是阻止了夏洛克拿走钱。故选 C 项。
17. C 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,首先是安东尼奥向夏洛克借钱但还不上(c);接着是夏洛克拿着刀准备取安东尼奥的肉(a);然后是波希娅警告夏洛克不能取走安东尼奥的一滴血(d);最后是夏洛克决定要钱而不是肉(b)。所以正确顺序是 c-a-d-b。故选 C 项。
18. B 推理判断题。根据“The law of Venice says if you plan to kill a citizen, you'll lose everything. Half of your wealth goes to the person you tried to kill, and half to the Duke.”可知,接下来很可能夏洛克会失去所有财产然后回家。故选 B 项。
15. D 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“If Antonio couldn't return the money, Shylock could get Antonio's one pound (1 pound ≈ 0.45 kilograms) of flesh.”可知,如果安东尼奥不能还钱,夏洛克可以得到安东尼奥身上的一磅(1 磅≈0.45 千克)肉。故选 D 项。
16. C 推理判断题。根据前文“Bassanio, Antonio's friend, was happy to pay. He was very pleased that his friend Antonio would not die.”以及后文“‘Wait!’ Portia said again. ‘Shylock cannot get the money. It is not written in the contract.’”可知,波希娅应是阻止了夏洛克拿走钱。故选 C 项。
17. C 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,首先是安东尼奥向夏洛克借钱但还不上(c);接着是夏洛克拿着刀准备取安东尼奥的肉(a);然后是波希娅警告夏洛克不能取走安东尼奥的一滴血(d);最后是夏洛克决定要钱而不是肉(b)。所以正确顺序是 c-a-d-b。故选 C 项。
18. B 推理判断题。根据“The law of Venice says if you plan to kill a citizen, you'll lose everything. Half of your wealth goes to the person you tried to kill, and half to the Duke.”可知,接下来很可能夏洛克会失去所有财产然后回家。故选 B 项。
