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.
English people________.

选项 A、have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatist
B、never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatist
C、are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatist
D、do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist

答案C

解析 细节理解题。原文第一句话For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist,意思是对于英国人来说,关于谁是最伟大的戏剧家根本不会有争论,因此选项C“英国人对于谁是最伟大的戏剧家态度非常明确”符合原文意思。
