第3题

For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greates

t 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 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 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.

A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatist

第4题

Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries

have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior. in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England

When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say “hello” and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people(students, for instance)that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone’s house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.

Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1.What will a person do when he attends a party run by older people？（）A、Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.

B、Ask his friend to introduce him to others.

C、Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.

D、Wait to be introduced by the hoss/hostess.

2.Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. （）

A、If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.

B、When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.

C、Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.

D、Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.
