Reading 5 Students in a Florida school district will be reading only excerpts from William Shakespeare's plays for class rather than the full texts under redesigned curriculum guides developed, in part, to take into consideration the state's “Don’t Say Gay” Laws. The changes to the Hillsborough County Public Schools' curriculum guides were made with Florida's new laws prohibiting classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in mind. Other reasons included revised state standards and an effort to get students to read a wide variety of books for new state exams, the school district said in an emailed statement on Tuesday. Several Shakespeare plays use suggestive puns and innuendo, and it is implied that the protagonists have had premarital sex in "Romeo and Juliet." Shakespeare's books will be available for checkout at media centers at schools, said the district, which covers the Tampa area. "First and foremost, we have not excluded Shakespeare from our high school curriculum. Students will still have the physical books to read excerpts in class," the statement said. "Curriculum guides are continually reviewed and refined throughout the year to align with state standards and current law." In Lake County, outside Orlando, the school district reversed a decision, made in response to the legislation, to restrict access to a popular children's book about a male penguin couple hatching a chick. The School Board of Lake County and Florida education officials last week asked a federal judge to toss out a First Amendment lawsuit that students and the authors of "And Tango Makes Three" filed in June. Their complaint challenged the restrictions and Florida's new laws. The lawsuit is moot because age restrictions on "And Tango Makes Three" were lifted following a Florida Department of Education memo that said the new law applied only to classroom instruction and not school libraries, according to motions filed Friday by Florida education officials and school board members.

語境中的關鍵線索
在文章第三段中,作者提到莎士比亞的作品包含 "suggestive puns and innuendo"(暗示性的雙關語與影射),緊接著便舉出《羅密歐與茱麗葉》中關於「婚前性行為」(premarital sex)的暗示。再加上前文提到的佛羅里達州法律限制討論「性傾向與性別認同」,我們可以明確判斷這裡的「暗示」指的就是與「性」相關的話題。因此,選項 (C) Allusions to sex(對性的影射)是最符合上下文邏輯的解釋。
