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 got married in 1898 when he was ______.
选项
A、42
B、34
C、43
D、35
答案
A
解析
此题为具体时间信息推算题。其中关键词是married in 1898 when。首先从各选项中了解到这是关于结婚时年龄的试题。从第4段查找出以上关键词,In 1898,Shaw married...。虽然没有给出当时的年龄,但第5段最后一句,He came to China in 1932 when...76 years old却间接地给了答案。因为根据他在1932年时是76岁,可以推断出他生于1856年。那么到1898年他结婚时,应是42岁,故A项是正确答案。
