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.
Which of the following is NOT true?
选项 A、Bernard Shaw’s father drank too much.
B、Bernard Shaw’s mother enjoyed music and her children.
C、Bernard Shaw received little love from his mother when he was young.
D、Bernard Shaw’s two sisters received little love and attention from their parents when they were young.
答案B
解析 此题为细节信息推理题。其中关键词是not true。首先读懂各选项内容。再对照原文寻找相关信息。从中发现第1段包揽了A、C、D项的信息：第2句：His father．．．drank too much与A项内容一致；末句：Bernard and his two sisters received little love．．．from their parents when．． young与C、D项内容一致；但是，第3句说His mother．．．found more pleasure in．．．music than in her children，他的母亲从音乐中得到的乐趣比从孩子身上得到的更多，说明萧伯纳的母亲更喜欢音乐，而不是孩子。故与B项内容不符，即not true。
