问题     George Bernard Shaw, the greatest British dramatist (居作家) of the first half of the 20th century, was born in Dublin, Ireland. His father was a man who drank too much and could not support his family properly. His mother was a disappointed, unhappy woman who found more pleasure in studying music than in her children. Bernard and his two sisters received little love and attention from their parents when they were young.
    Shaw was a good, bright, curious student in his school years. At fifteen, he went to work in an office. After five years, he decided that he wanted to be a writer, so he left Ireland then and went to London, where he began to write seriously.
    On September 2, 1882, Shaw’s ideas on socialism suddenly took shape (成形) when he attended the lecture by an American economist Henry George. The lecture led him to recognize that economics must be at the centre of socialist thought. He studied Karl Marx’s Das Kapital and attended a Marxist reading circle on September 5, 1884, eight months after its founding.
    In 1898, Shaw married a wealthy, independent woman named Charlotte Payne Townshend. They lived happily together until her death in 1943.
    By 1915, Shaw’s international fame was firmly established (树立) and his plays were staged (上演) in many countries all over the world, from Britain to Japan. Shaw won the Nobel Prize for literature (文学) in 1925. He came to China in 1932 and 15ecame a friend of Lu Xun, when he was 76 years old.
    He died on November 2, 1950. It was reported that on the night of his death, theatres around the world were darkened ill his honour.
Shaw’s international fame was firmly established ______.

选项 A、before he got married
B、after he won the Nobel Prize for literature
C、just before he came to China
D、after he wrote many plays

答案D

解析 此题仍为细节信息推论题。其中关键词是international fame...established。带着关键词查找到第5段第1句By 1915,Shaw’s.international fame was....established...即萧伯纳在国际上成名的时间为1915年。而他结婚(1898)是在这之前;获诺贝尔奖是在1925年之后;到中国是在1932年。利用排除法将这些干扰项否定之后,只剩下D项:在他写出大量剧作之后是符合情理的选项,故是正确的答案。
