Find the rhetorical devices employed in the following passage.AA Dream of Rainbow(1) When I was small, I often gazed into the sky, It was bright blue, with a few sheets of cloud floating. Especially after a rain,after a rain, there would appear a splendid and glamorous rainbow, which was like a great bridge hung in thesky. How I wished I had been an eagle soaring up to the bridge! I was obsessed with it. Grandma told me that in the heaven lived supernatural beings, and that it was the kind-hearted and well-behaved people who could step into the heaven through the rainbow. She taught me to be a good boy; then I would have a chance to walk on the rainbow some day.(2) It was a beautiful dream. Gradually, I grew up to be a high school student. However, I buried myself in lesson, exercises and even boring tests all day long. Day in and day out. Such a pressing routine has deprived me of my interest as well as my chance to gaze into the sky.(3) In the summer of 1998,after finished the college entrance examination, I had time for relaxing myself at last. One day, shortly after a heavy thundershower, I opened the window and then pleasant smells of the earth greeted me. I couldn’t help breathing deeply with my eyes closed. After some while, I opened my eyes satisfactorily. Just guess what I saw. The blue sky! Or rather the blue-gray sky. It seemed that I met an old friend, who had changed so much that I could hardly recognize him. I craned my head out to look for the rainbow of which I have a deep love. But to my disappointment, she didn’t appear in the sky. Why could it be that!(4) Now, I come to understand it is the pollution that made the rainbow so strange to me and compelled her to be away from me. In the past few years, economic prosperity has been greatly promoted at the cost of air and environmental pollution. As result, while people are enjoying the prosperity, they are suffering a great deal from pollution. No wonder scientists say this is therevenge of nature! It is never too late to mend anyhow. Now more and more people have become coolly aware of its harmful consequences; and effective measures have been taken for anti-pollution. I believe that pollution will be able to disappear in the near future and our sky will be able to renew its bright blue as it used to.(5) Last night, I dreamed a beautiful dream: I saw a rainbow that has been never seen for ages. Then I flew in the sky to the rainbow as lf I had wings. When I landed on such a gorgeous bridge, all supernatural beings gave me a warm welcome…Rhetorical Devices used:Paragraph(1)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(2)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(3)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(4)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(5)________________________________________________________________________________________________________BThe Olympic Aspiration of an Ordinary Chinese Farmer(1) The Beijing’s bid for the 2008 Olympics reflects the common aspiration of the 1.3 billion Chinese people. Apart fromBeijing, every city of China has been launching a series of rich and varied supporting activities. However, the country folks are no less enthusiastic than the town people, and they have their own way. Comparatively speaking, the events in cities are tremendous in power and grandeur; while the activities in the countryside are like a gentle breeze anda mild rain. The earnest aspiration of rural resident for the Olympic bid can be mirrored just from an ordinary Chinese farmer -----my uncle, who is 68 years old, living in a small village about 100km east of Shijiazhuang, Hebei Privine.(2) During the week-long Labour Day holiday, I went to see him. I was very happy to find him hale and hearty. But nine years ago, he suffered from severe T.B. Ever since his recovery a year later, he has taken exercise: doing Taijiquan, kicking shuttlecock, especially having a long walk every morning at all seasons. His good health is attributed to his regular physical exercise, and he thus realize what an important role it plays in building up the health of a person as well as that of the whole nation.(3) Last year, when he heard the news on TV that Beijing decided to participate in the bid for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, he felt quite excited and threw himself into fervent support. Since then, reading newspapers becomes a must every day. He has accumulated an intimate knowledge of the Olympics, such as its brief history, its creed, its motto,(4) My visit to him was turned into a sole conversation about the Olympics. After a comprehensive analysis, he told me that he has o ne gratification and one anxiety about the Beijing’s bid. His gratification is that the Beijing’s bid enjoys worldwide support, and most countries in the world favor Beijing as a host of the 2008 Summer Games. As to his anxiety, that is Paris andToronto are the two most formidable rivals for Beijing. Over 90 per cent of all 123 IOC members have ever been to Paris, but only 40 per cent have been to Beijing. More unfavorably, the US congress created all sorts of obstacles in an attempt to block China’s bidding wheel. “What does it matter if we meet some difficulties? ” he said resolutely. “ I am still confident of the final success.” He expressed his hope that he would go to Beijing to watch the Games in 7 years.(5) Now, the rural areas have seen a steadily growing economy. The great majority of farmers enjoy a high standard of living. They know that the hosting of the Games will be a boost to the country’s econom ic prosperity and tourism, and can bring them a better life. At the same time, people from all over the world can get a good opportunity to see through sport a real China ----its honest and hospitable people, its ancient and splendid culture, its 300-year-old and vitalizing capital, its rural scenery, its historical sites, its scenic attraction…(6) The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics is being longed for by all Chinese people from as high as state leaders to as country folks like my uncle.Rhetorical Devices used:Paragraph(1)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(2)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(3)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(4)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(5)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(6)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________CAn Unforgettable Trip(1) The train was cracking for Qinhuangdao -----a beautiful city which I had been longing for, and which often appeared in my dreams. My thoughts had already flown out to the sea: the red sun shining in the sky, millions of shells and pebbles on the beach, lots of people playing in the water, and the waves breaking and foaming. With the dreamlike scene, smile crept up and stayed on my face. Four hours passed, and we arrived at our destination late at night.(2) We set out very early the next morning. Just several minutes later, the wind brought us the scent of the sea, and the sea greeted us. Jumping off the car, I ran wildly along the shore.I was amazed at the vast surface and the blue water, which were far more magnificent than I had imaged. Some birds were flying above and singing beautiful songs; A couple of ships were sailing at a distance; the sea and the sky converged in the distance so that I couldn’t tell one from another. Throwing off my shoes, I stepped into the water -----waves lightly patting my legs, gentle breeze kissing my checks, fresh air penetrating my lungs. I couldn’t he lp shouting loudly to release my deep depression.(3) Just a month ago, I failed the postgraduate entrance exam against 3 points. God treated me so unfairly that I almost lost my confidence in the future. But now facing the vast sea , I felt how small I was, and how insignificant my personal gains and losses were. The grandeur of nature relaxed me a lo t and gave me much inspiration. The world isn’t as dismal as I thought. Before this I had only seen the dark side of the coin instead of both. It is true that I often met with troubles, but worries, troubles, even misfortune are not everything. Life is bea utiful yet transient so that I shouldn’t sink into depression all the time. Instead, as a youth, I should embrace life and enjoy life. I once read a philoso phical saying from a book : “ Yesterday is an invalid check; tomorrow is a kind of deposit which can’t be used; today is the money in front of you.” So I must value today and let yesterday go and let all gloominess go. Woken up from the meditation by gust of hailing, I found the sun jumping above sea, it lights made everything bright. I cried, “ A new day is coming.”(4) Now, I have learned to love life. I can find happiness and beauty from my surrounding: the bright sun, the blue sky, the green grass, the beautiful flowers, the singing bird, the smiling faces---all can bring me joy and satisfaction. Oh, an unforgettable trip.Rhetorical Devices used:Paragraph(1)_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(2)_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(3)_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(4)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________DSingers Shouldn’t Earn More Than Composers(1) With the steady growth in the county’s economy as well as the people’s living standard, people attach more importance to the colorful cultural life. As a result, many pop stars rise to fame overnight, even making a huge fortune ayear. On the other hand, the composers of popular songs that make these singers famous earn only a small fraction of what these “ noted stars” earn. Recently, this phenomenon has aroused wide concern, and heated public debate has arisen.(2) The pains and gains of the so-called stars are not matched. One hour’s performance may bring them thousand of yuan, while the composers are too far behind to catch up, so it is unfair and discouraging. Most of the composers, as we know, are musicians and experts in music who devote themselves to research and composition of knowledge. Singing stars are always the idols of youngsters. Many of them get rich quick without toil and sweat, thereby making youngsters disbelieve in the maxim “ No pains, no gains”; some of them even have an extravagant and wasteful way of living, which is tremendously tempting and misleading.(3) Of course, every thing has two faces. It goes withoutsaying that the stars e nrich people’s entertainment and make our life colorful; anyhow, the bright side should not keep us from criticizing its dark one.(4) All in all, I should say that the pop stars do not deserve such high payment than composers do. The government should levy heavier income tax on these stars in order to narrow the gap between the income of so-called pop stars and that of composers.Rhetorical Devices used:Paragraph(1)_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(2)_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(3)_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph(4)_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________《英语修辞》作业参考答案I.1．明喻引喻拟人平行通感矛盾修饰法提喻突降。

He greeted everyone walkingby and made small talk with many of the passers-by. His simple “hello” made people feel special.The first few times, I didn’t say hell o back to him when he greeted me. I was lost in my own world. On Monday the security guard asked me: “How was your weekend?” I told him about my visit to my mother, who had colon cancer (结肠癌). “ The time with my mother is so precious, because I know that e ach time may be the last.”He listened like a concerned friend I’d known for years. He shared how he had lost his father to cancer two years before. He said, “ I understand what you are going through. My father passed away while I was serving in Germany. Due to special reasons I was unable to fly back in time. I was unable to say goodbye or be at the funeral . I wish I could have been with him, given him a hug, and told him I loved him. You are really lucky to have the gift of time.”As I walked away, I reali zed I did not even know his name. The following day, on my way to work, I said : “ After we spent all that time talking yesterday, I still don’t know your name.” He answered, “ Gary.” I responded back, “ I’m Deborah.”After that, we talked and shared stories about our weekends, dreams and families. Later, Gary got offered a new job and moved away. It’s been several years since I last spoke to him, yet the memory feels like yesterday. Gary reached out to me, touched me and made my morning the best part of the day. In the business of life, we often forget to wish a stranger hello although how easy it is, and how great and lasting a difference it can make.

The word “ funeral” in bold in the third passage means _______.A. a party attended by many peopleB. an opening ceremonyC. a ceremony of burying a dead personD. a get-together for old friendsPassage BQuestions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage. One of the most influential methods in American education currently is the ITIP method (Instructional Theory into Practice). There’re seven steps. 1．Anticipatory （前期）Set. The teacher raises the interest of the class by starting with an idea that gets their attention. It might be the distance to the moon or an object whose function or use the students eagerly learn. The idea is to have students become focused on the importance of the lesson.2．Objective and Purpose. The students are told the reason for the lesson. It might be related to what was learned yesterday. The students are allowed to know why they’re learning certain information so their natural curiosity can be satisfied.3．Input. Once the purpose is clear, the teacher puts new knowledge before the students. This might be taught in a variety of ways, including the use of lecture, demonstration, recordings, or computers. This new knowledge must build properly on the learned lessons. Thus the students’ minds will grow naturally.4．Modeling. The teacher then demonstrates some aspect(方面) of theThe amazing fact is that most of this sorrow and unhappiness is our creation. It’s the weak point of society. We make most of our mistakes in life due to our greed or because we are forced to do this by the society. Because of this, we missed many beautiful moments in life.Life is full of many exciting things which help us all enjoy it. We were all born in this world with no thoughts or desires. A child only wants to enjoy his or her life. However, we burden(使负重担) these innocent souls from childhood with lots of expectations and desires. In this way a circle of expectations and desires start moving in the mind of every person. A child finds it difficult to go with the changing world and he ends up becoming an unhappy person. Enjoying life is a great art which very few people know on this earth.To enjoy life, a person is required to have a deep insight into life, free from all the worldly things.
