问题     For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of the greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the 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, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English. Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.
    There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such 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.
Every Englishman knows______.
选项 A、Shakespeare, but all with limited knowledge
B、more or less about Shakespeare
C、all Shakespeare’s writings
D、only the name of the greatest English writer
答案B
解析 这是一道事实细节题。可定位在第一段的第三句话“Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the work of the greatest writer．”从中，我们可知每个英国人都或多或少对莎翁有些了解，因此选B。选项A“所有人对莎翁了解有限”和选项C“知道莎翁的所有作品”都说得太绝对。
