Passage One
For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world‟s greatest poet
and dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: William Shakespeare. Every
Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of this great writer. All of us use
words, phrases and quotations from his writings that have become part of the common property of
English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we
use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that „it
was full of well-known proverbs and quotations‟!
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the
English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of
English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better
way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English
language than by studying the various ways Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the
effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage,
and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare‟s day.
16. It can be inferred from the first two sentences of the passage that__________.
A. English people refused to talk about great Shakespeare
B. Shakespeare‟s fame as the greatest writer is not debatable
