What makes a person famous? This is a mystery that many people have pondered. All kinds of myths surround the lives of well-known people.
Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers of the sixteenth century. Yet how many know Shakespeare the person, the man behind the works?
After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare’s personal history. It is not easily found in his writings. Authors of the time could not protect their works. An acting company, for example, could change a play if they wanted to. Nowadays writers have copyrights that protect their work.
Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. There are rumors that he left home when accused of stealing a horse. Others believe that he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men.
All of these myths are interesting, but are they true? Probably not. Shakespeare’s father was a respected man in Stratford, a member of the town council, He sent young William to grammar school. Most people of Elizabethan times did not continue beyond grammar school; so, Shakespeare did have, at least, an average education.
Some parts of Shakespeare’s life will always remain unknown. The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of clues. We will always be left with many questions and few facts
This passage deals with ______.
选项
A、the Great London Fire
B、the lost documents of Shakespeare
C、scholars of Shakespeare
D、Shakespeare’s personal history
答案
D
解析
短文的第二段和第三段的第一句点明了主题:这篇文章涉及的是莎士比亚的个人经历。随后的段落从谣传和教育等几个方面估计他的个人经历会是怎样的。选项D是正确的。选项A和B提及的伦敦大火及丢失的文件只是莎士比亚身世之谜的一个原因,并不是通篇的主题。选项C提及的莎士比亚学者应该是希望弄清楚莎士比亚身世的人,而不是本文的主题。
