7、 writers to produce more current versions of these works.For example,in Shakespeares play “The edy of Errors”,Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus.For his play“Macbeth”,Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.

10、ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeares works have influenced the world culture.But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.During his time,the English language was changing.Many new w
11、ords from other languages were being added.Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic (富有诗意的) inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.For example,he created the noun forms of “critic”,“mountaineer” and “eyeball”Many mon expressions in English e from his plays,including “pom

16、l person of his time.DBecause his works were rich in imagination and language.根据第二段倒数第二句中的“.but the intensity (强度) of his imagination and language made the plays his own.”可知,莎士比亚的作品之所以没有像他那个时代的其他许多作品那样被淡忘,是因为他的想象力和他的语言力量。8The passage is mainly about _.A. an introduction to Shakespeares life and his

19、there is a lot of good English poetry around.The earliest English poetry was written in a kind of English that is now difficult to understand.Modern English started around the time of William Shakespeare,towards the end of the sixteenth century.The seventeenth century was a great time for English po
20、etry.Shakespeare is famous for his plays.His sonnets,however,belong to the best English poetry.In the next generation of great English poets we meet John Donne.Chinese readers admire his works because of his use of surprising images that reminds them of the works of poets such as Su Dongpo.Before th
