Passage One For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of this great writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from his writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that ‘it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations’!Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.It can be inferred from the first two sentences of the passage that__________.

Passage TwoCurrently, the misuse of the internet exists, for instance, in modifying other people's bank account through the internet, stealing other’s data and information through the internet, doing illegal commerce of drugs or arms, spreading porn, violence, or even cult through the internet. All these exert very bad influence on social stability and communal health. It is also true that, if a computer is connected with the internet, there is a possibility for it to be intruded into, however strong the anti-virus software and firewalls are. This explains why Microsoft and anti-virus software producers release security patches and virus-recognizing updates nearly every day. Though many people are struggling to reduce the damage of internet crimes, they still cause great damage and loss every year. For example, the notorious virus worm, Nimaya, which had been produced by a 20-year-old person in Wuhan of Central China, caused over 2 million computers to break down and incurred a loss of over 50 million dollars. The wizard producer made this virus just for around 15 thousand yuan. However, the effect of this virus and the loss caused by it are far beyond many people's imagination. Though the internet is good for us for the most part, it has some serious negative effect. In my opinion, it is the duty of our government to lay down relevant laws to prevent internet crimes and reinforce the proper use of the internet by young people. From the beginning of this passage, we can infer that if there is a paragraph previous to this passage, it is most probably on __________.
