Reading Comprehension (45)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank w

29、ith the word or phrase that best fits the context.The 6th -century dramatist Ben Johnson generously called Shakespeare a writer “not of an age, but for all time.” And so it has proven to be, for Shakespeares plays are still the most translated and most _41_ of any playwriters in the world. But if yo

30、u ask people what accounts for Shakespeares _42_ popularity, you will get a number of different answers. Some will say that he was a great storyteller, others that the _43_ lies in the beauty of his poetry. Some scholars point out that he was born in a lively period of Englands history, time of grea

31、t national confidence and cultural activity, particularly in the theatre. _44_, they claim, he was able to produce an extraordinary volume of work.This last explanation seems a little _45_. A more interesting answer is put forward, although a little over-enthusiastically, by Harold Bloom in his book

32、 Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human. Bloom argues that Shakespeare gave us something in his writing that the world had not seen in _46_ before: characters with a strong personality. These lifelike characters gave us a real insight into the human _47_: Iago, the trusted advisor of Othello, whose

33、 jealousy leads him to betray his honest master; Rosalind, the heroine in As You Like it, who remains true to her friends and family despite the danger to herself. Through the mouths of such characters, we learn truths about life that we can all _48_. These truths are made more moving and more memor

34、able by the way in which they are _49_: briefly and poetically.Shakespeare has been dead almost 400 years, but the words and saying attributed (归功于) to him still _50_ the English language today. So whether you are “fashionable” or “sanctimonious,” thank Shakespeare, who probably _51_ the terms. In f

35、act, it is amazing just how great Shakespeares influence on everyday language has been. Take, for example, these phrases from Michael Macrones light-hearted book Brush Up Your Shakespeare.foregone conclusion seen better daysfull circle the world is (my) oysterat one fell swoop neither here nor there

36、Macrone is more interested in the Shakespearean language that has survived than the reasons for its _52_. According to his research, some of these sayings are slightly different from their original meaning once taken out of the _53_ of the plays in which they first appeared. For example, “the be all

37、 and end all” is used today to mean “the most important thing”, but in Macbeth, it means “the end of the matter”.Regardless of such technicalities, it is still remarkable that so many of Shakespeares words have survived the large _54_ in language between their time and the present day. The beauty of

38、 those words is certainly one reason, but as Johnson suggested, it is the humanity and lasting relevance (相关性；实用性) of their _55_ that brings them to life.A. selectedB. performedC. evaluatedD. revised42.
