Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Every year, the town of Verona, where the well-known love story Romeo and Juliet took place, receives thousands of letters to Juliet. These letters are written in different languages and sent from all over the world.
The tradition of sending letters to Juliet dates back to centuries ago. At first, people left notes on a local landmark said to be Juliet's tomb（墳?zāi)梗? Later, they started to send letters to the town.
To deal with these letters, the Juliet Club was set up in 1972.
The staff of the Juliet Club are volunteers who call themselves “Juliet's secretary.” They can be students, couples and even grandmothers. They can read letters in many languages.
These people take their work seriously. They use their own experiences to reply. When there is a letter difficult to reply to, they will discuss it with each other to give the best answer. Thanks to them, every letter is read, translated and answered by hand in the name of Juliet.
The Juliet Club has been dealing with Juliet's letters for more than 40 years. You can read some of the letters on the club's official website. You can also write your own letters. Here is the address:

【解析】文章大意：著名的愛情故事羅密歐與朱麗葉發(fā)生在意大利的維羅納城，每年這個(gè)地方都會(huì)收到很多寫給朱麗葉的信，為了處理這些信件，在1972年建立了朱麗葉俱樂部。這篇短文給我們介紹了這個(gè)俱樂部的具體情況。
（1）根據(jù)短文的開頭Every year, the town of Verona, where the well-known love story Romeo and Juliet took place, receives thousands of letters to Juliet可知，羅密歐與朱麗葉的愛情故事發(fā)生在Verona，由此可知這個(gè)問題的答案是肯定的。所以答案是Yes, it did。
（2）根據(jù)短文第二段中To deal with these letters, the Juliet Club was set up in 1972可知，朱麗葉俱樂部建立于1972年，目的是處理人們寫給朱麗葉的信。所以答案是In 1972。
（3）根據(jù)短文第三段中The staff of the Juliet Club are volunteers who call themselves “Juliet's secretary.”可知，朱麗葉俱樂部的工作人員都是一些志愿者，他們把自己稱為“朱麗葉的秘書”，所以答案是The staff of the Juliet Club。
（4）根據(jù)短文第四段中Thanks to them, every letter is read, translated and answered by hand in the name of Juliet.可知，每一封信都是以朱麗葉的名義閱讀、翻譯并用手回復(fù)的。所以答案是By hand in the name of Juliet。
（5）根據(jù)短文第五段中You can read some of the letters on the club's official website.可知，人們可以在這個(gè)俱樂部的官方網(wǎng)站上讀到一些信。所以答案是On the club's official website。
（6）根據(jù)短文第四段中的描述These people take their work seriously. They use their own experiences to reply. When there is a letter difficult to reply to, they will discuss it with each other to give the best answer. Thanks to them, every letter is read, translated and answered by hand in the name of Juliet.可知，俱樂部的這些工作人員都非常的認(rèn)真，人們來的信他們每一封都讀、翻譯，還寫回信，對于比較難恢復(fù)的信，他們共同研究如何回復(fù)。因此我們可以用careful, serious或者h(yuǎn)elpful, responsible等詞來回答這個(gè)問題。所以答案是They are responsible/helpful/warm-hearted/etc. Because when there is a letter difficult to reply to, they will discuss it with each other to give the best answer. (Any reasonable answer is acceptable)。
