下列各选项中，中外名著创作于同一世纪的是（）
A.关汉卿《窦娥冤》与莎士比亚《哈姆雷特》
B.郭守敬《授时历》与牛顿《自然哲学的数学原理》
C.曹雪芹《红楼梦》与薄伽丘《十日谈》
D.顾炎武《天下郡国利病书》与洛克《政府论》
参考答案：D
解析：
本题考查历史知识的再认再现能力。顾炎武（1613- 1682 年）生活与明末清初，英国哲学家洛克（1632---1704 年），是早期启蒙思想家，两人大约生活与同一时期，即 17世纪。郭守敬生活与元代，大约是 13 世纪，牛顿是 17 世纪的科学家；曹雪芹生活与 18 世纪的清朝中期，薄伽丘是 14 世纪意大利文艺复兴时期的文学家；关汉卿生活与元代，大约是 13 世纪，莎士比亚（1564---1616 年）。故选 A 项。
考点：古今文学的发展成就
点评：解答此题的关键在于把握选项中的文学作品出现的时间。试题并未要求从具体的时间上进行比较，只是大体上同一个世纪的就可以。因此题目设置并不偏。用排除法做此类的题目较易。
