问题     For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist (剧作家). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our 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 used, 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 writher, 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 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.
Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?
选项 A、English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time.
B、By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.
C、English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time.
D、Beginners may heave difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.
答案B
解析 方旨理解题。原文最后一段是关于研究莎士比亚作品评议的价值的，其中第一句话说通过这种研究可以了解英语言的丰富和多样性，因此选项B符合文意。
