today.Few of Shaws more than 60 plays，novels and essays are performed or read anymore.And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world.Although youd be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today，in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues，not only in Britain but on the stage of the world.In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment，Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day.The plight (苦难) of the poor and the working class，the situation of women and the institutions of society，such as the education systemShaw was among the most wellknown figures making these topics central to public debate.His first play，Widowers Houses(1892)，deals with the question of slum(贫民窟) housing.His Mrs Warrens Profession(1893) brought a controversial topic to the stage.Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too.He was an early member of the Fabian Society，which argued for the socialist cause in the UK.Shaw was also the founder (in 1895) of one of the now most famous colleges in the world，the London School of Economics.If few of his works have really stood the test of time，many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language“Youth is wasted on the young，” he wrote.He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲学) in a few memorable words.For instance: “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”【文章大意】本文是一篇人物传记，主要介绍英国著名的作家George Bernard Shaw以及他的作品对英国文化的影响。1Shaws influence on the modern world comes mainly from Athe changes he brought to the British cultureBhis philosophies on the role of governmentChis awareness of social problems of his dayDthe support for the London School of EconomicsA解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.”可知，他对现代的影响主要源于他对英国现代文化的影响。故选A项。2Widowers Houses is a play that mainly focuses on Athe failure of the UK education systemBthe housing problems of poor peopleCrobbery incidents in slum

of the furniture of the English language”，the author means that Shaws words Ahave become the best part of EnglishBhave greatly developed the English languageChave made the English language

of the English languageYouth is wasted on the young，he wrote.”可知，如果他的作品没能经得住时间的挑战，许多引用他的作品的话已经成为英语的一部分了。由此可推断他对英国文化影响较大。故选D项。4Which of the following about George Bernard Shaws works is TRUE?AThey should be adapted for modern readers.BThey are mostly about the lives of working class.CThey deal with important social issues of their day.DMost of them are still performed on the stage of the world

day.”可知，他的作品通常教育人们要关注所在年代的一些重大事件，也就是关注他那个年代的重要的社会问题。故选C项。.完形填空Occasionally，life can be impossibly difficult，and it can be hard to keep going.But you always have a choice.2012 was the 1 year of my
