    For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's greatest dramatist(劇作家). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him:that of William Shake- speare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writ- er. 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 per- formance 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 theeffort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some as- pects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.

    第36題單選 English people__________ 。

    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

    第37題單選 Every Englishman knows__________ 。

    A.more or less about Shakespeare

    B.Shakespeare, but only slightly

    C.all Shakespeare's writings

    D.only the name of the greatest English writer

    第38題單選 Which of the following is TRUE?

    A.We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings.

    B.Shakespeare's writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.

    C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use.

    D.All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.

    第39題單選 Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?

    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 have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.

    In the early part of the twentieth century, racism was widespread in the United States. Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Mari- an Anderson ( 1897 - 1993 ) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years per- forming there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.

    Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75 000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist to sing win the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as "heard only once in a hundred years". She was a US delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977.
