24、poned.阅读理解William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language.His 38 plays and more than 150 poems are still read by people across the world.But while his talent as a dramatist and poet are universally acknowledged,what is perhaps less well known is his contribution
25、 to the English language as we know it today.The famous journalist Bernard Levin once wrote,“If you cannot understand my argument,and declare Its Greek to me, you are quoting Shakespeare.” Levin is simply reminding the reader that much of common English speech can be traced back to idioms used in Sh
26、akespeares writings.Shakespeares genius for shaping the English language into written plays and poems gave him the ability to affect the language as he did.Hundreds of other expressions that are used daily by English speakers are traced back to his writings.Idioms such as “dead as a doornail” (Henry
27、 IV,Part II) and “wear ones heart on ones sleeve” (Othello) can be argued to be Shakespeares creations.Shakespeare was also able to invent and reinvent words in different ways,including changing nouns into verbs,changing verbs into adjectives,connecting words never before used together,adding prefix
28、es and suffixes,and coming up with words that were completely original.The full version of the Oxford English Dictionary lists around 2,200 words for which the earliest citation(引文) is in the works of Shakespeare.According to a linguist called David Crystal,about half of that number are still in the
29、 language today and so would be easily understood by anyone watching his plays being performed.Words including “accused,backing,champion,countless,gossip,majestic and unreal” are all believed to have first appeared in Shakespeares writings.Shakespeare took the language of the time,varied it,sculpted
30、 it,and reflected upon it through his plays and poems.His impact on the English language may never be duplicated(复制),but we will always have his great writings,so,as the poet says,“alls well that ends well.”1.By Paragraph 2,the writer mainly wants to _.A.show that Shakespeare is often quoted todayB.
31、introduce a journalist who studied ShakespeareC.argue that Shakespeare had no knowledge of GreekD.give an example showing Shakespeares greatness答案A解析推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句中的“.much of common English speech can be traced back to idioms used in Shakespeares writings.”可知,现在许多常用英语词汇可以追溯到莎士比亚的作品中,由此推知,现在人们经常引用莎士
32、比亚作品中的语言。2.Shakespeare was able to affect the English language because of _.A.his ability to use words creativelyB.his 38 plays and over 150 poemsC.his ability of using foreign languagesD.his famous works Henry IV and Othello答案A解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Shakespeares genius for shaping. to affect the language
33、 as he did.”可知,莎士比亚之所以能够影响英语语言是因为他创造性地把英语语言运用到作品中。3.In the full version of the Oxford English Dictionary,_.A.around 2,200 words are includedB.over 1,000 words first citied from Shakespeares are still activeC.linguist David contributed to half of the vocabularyD.words like “accused,backing,champion,e
34、tc.” are specially marked答案B解析细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“According to a linguist . being performed.”可知,选项B正确。4.What is the text mainly about?A.The life of Shakespeare.B.Shakespeares famous works.C.Shakespeares influence on the world.D.Shakespeares contribution to the English language.答案D解析主旨大意题。本文第一段最后一句是文章的中心句
