Who is the writer of these lines? Which poem is it taken from?2. Please interpret this section.(2)It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.“But it is,” returned she; “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”Mr. Bennet made no answer.“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”This was invitation enough.“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of hisservants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”“What is his name?”“Bingley.”“Is he married or single?”“Oh! single, my dear, to be s ure! A single man of large fortune;four or five thousand a year.What a fine thing for our girls!”“How so? how can it affect them?”“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be sotiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”“Is that his design in settling here?”“Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely thathe may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visithim as soon as he comes.”3. Which novel is this passage taken from? Who is the author?4. Please interpret this passage.(3)For a week after the commission of the impious and profane offence of asking for more, Oliver remained a close prisoner in the dark and solitary room to which he had been consigned by the wisdom and mercyof the board.It appears, at first sight not unreasonable to suppose, that, if he had entertained a becoming feeling of respect for the prediction of the gentleman in the white waistcoat, he would have established that sage individual’s prophetic charact er, once and for ever, by tying one end of his pocket-handkerchief to a hook in the wall, and attaching himself to the other.To the performance of this feat, however, there was one obstacle:namely, that pocket-handkerchiefs, being decided articles of luxury, had been, for all future times and ages, removed from the noses of paupers by the express order of the board, in council assembled:solemnly given and pronounced under their hands and seals.There was a still greater obstacle in Oliver’s youth and childis hness.He only cried bitterlyall day; and, when the long, dismal night came on, spread his little hands before his eyes to shut out the darkness, and crouching in the corner, tried to sleep, ever and anon waking with a start and tremble, and drawing himself closer and closer to the wall, as if to feel even its cold hard surface were a protection in the gloom and loneliness which surrounded him.5. Which novel is this passage taken from? Please interpret this passage.Part Ⅴ: Give brief answers to the follow ing questions. (15%)1. State the major characteristics of modernism.2.

The Rocking-Horse Winner (by D.H. Lawrence)There was a woman who was beautiful, who started with all the advantages, yet she had no luck. She married for love, and the love turned to dust. She had bonny （漂亮的） children, but she did not love them. They looked at her coldly, as if they were finding fault with her. Nevertheless, when her children were present, she was all the more gentle and anxious for her children, as if she loved them very much. Only she herself knew that at the centre of her heart was a hard little place that could not feel love, no, not for anybody. Everybody else said of her: “She is such a good mother. She adores her children.” Only she herself, and her children themselves, knew it was not so. They read it in each other ’s eyes.There were a boy and two little girls. They lived in a pleasant house, with a garden, and they had servants, and felt themselves superior to anyone in the neighborhood. Although they lived in style, they felt always an anxiety in the house. There was never enough money. The mother had a small income, and the father had a small income, but not nearly enough for the social position which they had to keep up. There was always the grinding sense of the shortage of money, though the style was always kept up.The children were growing up, they would have to go to school. There must be more money. The father, who was always very handsome and expensive in his tastes, seemed as if he never would be able to do anything worth doing. And the mother, who had a great belief in herself, did not succeed any better, and her tastes were just as expensive.And so the house came to be haunted by the unspoken phrase: There must be more money! There must be more money! The children could hear it all the time though nobody said it aloud. They heard it at Christmas, when the expensive and splendid toysfilled the nursery. Yet nobody ever said it aloud. The whisper was everywhere, and therefore no one spoke it. Just as no one ever says: “We are breathing!” in spite of the fact that breath is coming and going all the time.“Mother,” said the boy Paul one day, “why don’t we keep a car of our own? Why do we always use uncle’s, or else a taxi?”“Because we’re the poor members of the family,” said the mother.“But why are we, mother?”“Well - I suppose,”she said slowly and bitterly, “it’s because your father has no luck.”“Oh!” said the boy. “Then what is luck, mother?”“It’s what c auses you to have money. If you’re lucky you have money. That’s why it’s better to be born lucky than rich. If you’re rich, you may lose your money. But if you’re lucky, you will al ways get more money.’“Well, anyhow,” he said stoutly, “I’m a lucky person.”“Why?” said his mother, with a sudden laugh.He stared at her. He didn't even know why he had said it. “God told me,” he asserted. “I hope He did, dear!”, she said, again with a laugh, but rather bitter.“He did, mother!” Paul assertedHe went off by himself, and in his room he would sit on his big rocking-horse, driving madly. “Now!”he would silently command the horse. “Now take me to where there is luck! Now take me!” He knew the horse could take him to where there was luck, if only he forced it. At last he stopped forcing his horse and slid down. “Well, I got there!”he announced fiercely, his blue eyes still flaring. “Where did you get?” asked his uncle, “Could you know its name?”“Well, he has different names. He was called Sa nsovino last week.”“Sansovino, eh? Won the Ascot horse-racing. How did you know this name?” asked his uncle.“My horse told me and now I have won 300 pounds by betting the race already. You won’t tell others, right?” answered the boy.“Now, son,” Uncle Oscar said doubtedly, “Let’s check it. There will be a race today. I’m putting twenty on Mirza, and I’ll put five on any horse you fancy. What’s your pick?”“Daffodil this time, uncle.”At last, Daffodil came in first, Lancelot second, Mirza third. His uncle brought himfour five-pound notes, four to one. （四比一的胜率）“What am I to do with these?” the uncle cried, waving the money before boys’ eyes.“I suppose we’ll talk to Bassett, our gardener and he is also my partner in horse-racing,” said the boy. “I expect I have had fifteen hundred now.”Uncle Oscar turned to Bassett and asked how they wined in horse racing. “It’s Master Paul, sir,” said Bassett in a secret, religious voice. “It’s as if he had the news from heaven.” Later, his uncle joined them and Paul even had made ten thousand in a race.“But what are you going to do with your money?” asked the uncle.The boy said, “I started it for mother. She said she had no luck, because father is unlucky, so I thought if I was l ucky, it might stop whispering.”“What might stop whispering?”“Our house. I hate our house for whispering.”“What does it whisper?”The boy answered: “I don't know. But it’s always short of money, you know, uncle. The house whispers, like people laughing at you behind your back. It's awful, that is! I thought if I was lucky,…”“You might stop it,” added the uncle.“Well, then!” said the uncle. “What are we doing?”“I shouldn't like mother to know I was lucky,” said the boy.“All right, son! We’ll manage it without her knowing.”They managed it very easily. Paul, at the other’s suggestion, handed over five thousand pounds to his uncle, who deposited (存入) it with the family lawyer, who was then to inform Paul's mother that a relative had put five thousand pounds into his hands, which sum was to be paid out a thousand pounds at a time, on the mother’s birthday, for the next five years.“So she’ll have a birthday present of a thousand pounds for five succes sive years,”said Uncle Oscar. “I hope it won’t make it all the harder for her later.”Paul’s mother had her birthday in November. The house had been “whispering”worse than ever lately, and, even in spite of his luck. She was down to breakfast on the morning of her birthday. Paul watched her face as she read her letters. He knew the lawyer’s letter. As his mother read it, her face hardened and became more expressionless. Then a cold, determined look came on her mouth. She hid the letter under the pile of others, and said not a word about it.But in the afternoon Uncle Oscar appeared. H e said Paul’s mother had had a longinterview with the lawyer, asking if the whole five thousand could not be advanced at once, as she was in debt.“What do you think, uncle?” said the boy. The uncle said, “I leave it to you, son.”“Oh, let her have it, then! We can get some more with the other,” said the boy.So Uncle Oscar signed the agreement, and Paul’s mother touched the whole five thousand. Then something very curious happened. The voices in the house suddenly went mad, like a chorus of frogs on a spring evening. “There must be more money! Oh-h-h; there must be more money. More than ever! More than eve r!”“I’ve got to know the result for the Derby horse-racing! I’ve got to know for the Derby!” the child reiterated (反复说), his big blue eyes blazing with a sort of madness.Paul’s secret of secrets was his wooden horse, that which had no name. To keep it, he had his rocking-horse removed to his own bedroom at the top of the house.“Surely you’re too big for a rocking-horse!” his mother had remonstrated.（告诫）“Well, you see, mother, till I can have a real horse, I like to have some sort of animal about,” had been his answer.The Derby was drawing near, and the boy grew more and more tense. He hardly heard what was spoken to him, he was very frail, and his eyes were really strange.Two nights before the Derby, she was at a big party in town. But an unrest was so strong that she had to leave the dance and go downstairs to telephone her house. “Are the c hildren all right, Miss Wilmot?”“Oh yes, they are quite all right.”Paul’s mother said: “It's all right. Don’t sit up. We shall be home fairly soon.”It was about one o’clock when Paul’s mother and father drove up to their house. All was still. Pau l’s mother went to her room and slipped off her white fur cloak. She had told her maid not to wait up for her. She heard her husband downstairs, mixing a whisky and soda.And then, because of the strange anxiety at her heart, she stole upstairs to her son’s room. Noiselessly she went along the upper corridor. Was there a faint noise?Then suddenly she switched on the light, and saw her son, in his green pajamas, madly surging on the rocking-horse. The blaze of light suddenly lit him up, as he urged the wooden horse, and lit her up, as she stood, blonde, in her dress of pale green and crystal, in the doorway.“Paul!” she cried. “Whatever are you doing?”“It’s Malabar!” he screamed in a powerful, strange voice. “It’s Malabar!”“What does he mean by Malabar?” asked the heart-frozen mother.“I don’t know,” said the father stonily. “What does he mean by Malabar?” she asked her brother Oscar, who came here as soon as he heard Paul was ill.“It’s one of the horses running for the Derby,” was the answer.The third day of the illness was critical: they were waiting for a change. The boy, with his rather long, curly hair, was tossing ceaselessly on the pillow. He neither slept nor regained consciousness, and his eyes were like blue stones. His mother sat, feeling her heart had gone, turned actually into a stone.The gardener tiptoed into the room and stole to the bedside, staring with glittering, smallish eyes at the tossing, dying child.“Master Paul!” he whispered. “Master Paul! Malabar came in first all right, a clean win. I did as you told me. You've made over seventy thousand pounds, you have; you’ve got over eighty thousand. Malabar c ame in all right, Master Paul.”“I never told you, mother, that if I can ride my horse, and get there, then I’m absolutely sure - oh, absolutely! Mother, did I ever tell you? I am lucky!”“No, you never did,” said his mother. But the boy died in the night.And even as he lay dea d, his mother heard her brother’s voice saying to her, “My God, Hester, you’re eighty thousand to the good, and a poor devil of a son to the bad. But, poor devil, poor devil, he’s best gone out of a life where he rides his rocking-horse to find a winner.”ABC大学2012-2013学年第一学期《英国文学》课程考试试卷答案适用班级：英语系2010级卷型：（A卷）Part I Multiple Choices (每小题 1分，共20分)Part II Identification of Fragments (每小题10分，共30分)21.

Select a work or play and point out how the writer pose the question and what extent he answers the question.第三题：this is a short passage taken from the preface of the《leaves of grass》from Walt WhitmanThe Americans of all nations at any time upon the earth have probably the fullest poetical nature. The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem. In the history of the earth hitherto the largest and most stirring appear tame and orderly to their ampler largeness and stir. Here at last is something in the doings of man that corresponds with the broadcast doings of the day and night. Here is not merely a nation but a teeming nation of nations. Here is action untied from strings necessarily blind to particulars and details magnificently moving in vast masses. Here is the hospitality which forever indicates heroes . . . . Here are the roughs and beards and space and ruggedness and nonchalance that the soul loves. Here the performance disdaining the trivial unapproached in the tremendous audacity of its crowds and groupings and the push of its perspective spreads with crampless and flowing breadth and showers its prolific and splendid extravagance. One sees it must indeed own the riches of the summer and winter, and need never be bankrupt while corn grows from the ground or the orchards drop apples or the bays contain fish or men beget children upon women.Other states indicate themselves in their deputies . . . . but the genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges or churches or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors . . . but always most in the commonpeople. Their manners speech dress friendships – the freshness and candor of their physiognomy –the picturesque looseness of their carriage . . . their deathless attachment to freedom – their aversion to anything indecorous or soft or mean – the practical acknowledgment of the citizens of one state by the citizens of all other states – the fierceness of their roused resentment – their curiosity and welcome of novelty – their self-esteem and wonderful sympathy – their susceptibility to a slight – the air they have of persons who never knew how it felt to stand in the presence of superiors – the fluency of their speech – their delight in music, the sure symptom of manly tenderness and native elegance of soul . . . their good temper and openhandedness – the terrible significance of their elections – the President's taking off his hat to them not they to him –these too are unrhymed poetry. It awaits the gigantic and generous treatment worthy of it.Question1: what’s your understanding of Whitman’s view of poet?Question2: write a comment of this passage .第四题：this is “a very short story” written by Hemingway .then write a comment of this passagePart two: translation汉译英：旧王府艺术研究院的变迁英译汉：idleness+三个短句翻译4.2.1真题解析及技巧指导Part one literature注意答题书写步骤：第一题：1.I take Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as an example to explain the idea.2. pleasure 体现在远离“文明”的，自然的，单纯的河上生活；disquietness体现在河岸上现实的阴暗面即血腥杀戮等3. 总结。

Entering the roomvery softly, I had a view of him before he discovered my presence. It was mournful, indeed,to witness the subjugation of that vigorous spirit to a corporeal infirmity. He sat in hischair--still, but not at rest: expectant evidently; the lines of now habitual sadness markinghis strong features. His countenance reminded one of a lamp quenched, waiting to bere-lit-- and alas! it was not himself that could now kindle the lustre of animated expression:he was dependent on another for that office! I had meant to be gay and careless, but thepowerlessness of the strong man touched my heart to the quick: still I accosted him withwhat vivacity I could."It is a bright, sunny morning, sir," I said. "The rain is over and gone, and there is atender shining after it: you shall have a walk soon."I had wakened the glow: his features beamed."Oh, you are indeed there, my sky-lark! Come to me. You are not gone: not vanished?I heard one of your kind an hour ago, singing high over the wood: but its song had nomusic for me, any more than the rising sun had rays. All the melody on earth isconcentrated in my Jane's tongue to my ear (I am glad it is not naturally a silent one): allthe sunshine I can feel is in her presence."The water stood in my eyes to hear this avowal of his dependence; just as if a royaleagle, chained to a perch, should be forced to entreat a sparrow to become its purveyor.But I would not be lachrymose: I dashed off the salt drops, and busied myself withpreparing breakfast.Most of the morning was spent in the open air. I led him out of the wet and wild woodinto some cheerful fields: I described to him how brilliantly green they were; how theflowers and hedges looked refreshed; how sparklingly blue was the sky. I sought a seat forhim in a hidden and lovely spot, a dry stump of a tree; nor did I refuse to let him, whenseated, place me on his knee. Why should I, when both he and I were happier near thanapart? Pilot lay beside us: all was quiet. He broke out suddenly while clasping me in hisarms -"Cruel, cruel deserter! Oh, Jane, what did I feel when I discovered you had fled fromThornfield, and when I could nowhere find you; and, after examining your apartment,ascertained that you had taken no money, nor anything which could serve as an equivalent!A pearl necklace I had given you lay untouched in its little casket; your trunks were leftcorded and locked as they had been prepared for the bridal tour. What could my darling do,I asked, left destitute and penniless? And what did she do? Let me hear now."Thus urged, I began the narrative of my experience for the last year. I softened 得分学院专业班级学号学生姓名considerably what related to the three days of wandering and starvation, because to havetold him all would have been to inflict unnecessary pain: the little I did say lacerated hisfaithful heart deeper than I wished.I should not have left him thus, he said, without any means of making my way: Ishould have told him my intention. I should have confided in him: he would never haveforced me to be his mistress. Violent as he had seemed in his despair, he, in truth, loved mefar too well and too tenderly to constitute himself my tyrant: he would have given me halfhis fortune, without demanding so much as a kiss in return, rather than I should have flungmyself friendless on the wide world. I had endured, he was certain, more than I hadconfessed to him."Well, whatever my sufferings had been, they were very short," I answered: and then Iproceeded to tell him how I had been received at Moor House; how I had obtained theoffice of schoolmistress, &c. The accession of fortune, the discovery of my relations,followed in due order. Of course, St. John Rivers' name came in frequently in the progressof my tale. When I had done, that name was immediately taken up."This St. John, then, is your cousin?""Yes.""You have spoken of him often: do you like him?""He was a very good man, sir; I could not help liking him.""A good man. Does that mean a respectable well-conducted man of fifty? Or whatdoes it mean?""St John was only twenty-nine, sir."1．From what novel is this passage chosen? Who is the author of the novel?

According tothe novel, what has happened to him? （4分）3．W hy did Mr. Rochester call Jane “Cruel, cruel deserter”?(4 分)4．According to the novel, what was her experience for the last year?( 5分)5．What can you learn from her and him or from the whole novel?

I said'Frà Pandolf' by design, for never readStrangers like you that pictured countenance,The depth and passion of its earnest glance,But to myself they turned (since none puts byThe curtain I have drawn for you, but I)And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst,How such a glance came there; so, not the firstAre you to turn and ask thus.………………………………………………I repeat,The Count your master's known munificenceIs ample warrant that no just pretenceOf mine for dowry will be disallowed;Though his fair daughter's self, as I avowedAt starting，is my object.

As the Duke and the emissary walk lea ve the painting behind, the Duke points out other notable artworks in his collection.。

The names for characters and places are highly symbolic.c. It is filled with realistic descriptions. Many pictures of the personified people andallegorized places in it have realistic meanings.d. The most significant thing is that the satires in the book are centered upon the ruling class,esp. well-known are the descriptions of Vanity Fair and of the experience of Christian and Faithful in it, for here Bunyan not only gives us a symbolic picture of London at the time of the Restoration but of feudal-bourgeoisie society in general where all things are bought and sold. The picture unfolded of the complex English society of the Restoration consists of Puritan severity on the one hand and cynical egoism and moral depravity of the ruling classes on the other.2. “Araby”: a. As far as “Araby” is concerned, it is closely related to the drabness of life, ugly reality and sordid environment. The hero struggles with oppressive morality to seek for their dreams which are frustrated by sordidness. It ends with disillusionment and an epiphany--- sudden awareness of where he is and what he is doing and realizing the truth of life. It is a conflict between vision and reality.b. At the beginning of the story, the author gives a detailed description of the environment, which helps to build up the conflicting atmosphere for the whole story and predicts the failure of the hero’s quest.c. Symbolism and irony are employed to intensify the theme.d. Conversation serves as a stimulus for characters to achieve sudden awareness.“Mrs. Dalloway”: the excerpt from Mrs. Dalloway is supposed to be a faithful record of Mrs. Dalloway’s innermost thoughts on her way to the flower shop. It serves as example of “the stream of consciousness” method employed by the author to draw a vivid sketch of chief character. The novel does not have a plot in the conventional sense. All its actions take place in one day in London. With little external description, it focuses on the inner life of the characters, who unfoldthemselves vividly in front of the reader through their meditation and silent soliloquies.3.Vanity Fair has a subtitle, Novel without a Hero, which points to the author’s intention to portray, not individuals singly, but the whole of the notorious “Vanity Fair”, an appellative Thackeray bestows on English bourgeois and aristocratic society. With scathing irony Thackeray exposes the vices of this society: hypocrisy, money-worship, and moral degradation.英国文学史及选读试题（B）Name___________________Part I Choose the relevant match from column B for each item in column A:10% Section A(1) Shakespeare a.

重庆大学英国文学选读试卷A20010 ~2011 学年 第 二 学期开课学院： 外国语学院 考试日期： July , 2010考试方式：考试时间： 120 分Part I Term Explanations (15points, 3 pts each)Directions: In this part you are required to explain the following literary terms briefly. Remember you must use the examples from the stories covered in this course to illustrate your explanations.1. Setting :2. Point of View :3. Conflict :4. Imagery :5. Tone :Part II Analysis (40 points, 8 pts each)Directions ：There are five extracts in this part. Each of them is taken from the novels or short stories covered by this course. Answer the question after each extract.1. I Every morning I lay on the floor in the front parlour watching her door. The blind was pulled down to within an inch of the sash so that I could not be seen. When she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped. I ran to the hall, seized my books and followed her. I kept her brown figure always in my eye and, when we came near the point at which our ways diverged, I quickened my pace and passed her. This happened morning after morning. I had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words, and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood.Question: How does this extract represent the boy-narrator’s feeling for a girl?2. Against these far stretches of country rose, in front of the other city edifices, a large red-brick building, with level grey roofs, and rows of short barred windows bespeaking captivity —the whole contrasting greatly by its formalism with the quaint irregularities of the gothic erections. It was somewhat disguised from the road in passing it by yews and evergreen oaks, but it was visible enough up here. The wicket form which the pair head lately emerged was in the wall of this structure. From the middle of the building an ugly flat-topped octagonal tower ascended against the east horizon, and viewed from this spot, on its shady side and against the light, it seemed the one blot on the city ’s beauty. Yet it was with this blot, and not with the beauty, that the命题人：胡文成组题人：胡文成审题人：毛凌莹命题时间间间：2011, 6.18学院 教学班号 年级 学号 姓名封 线 密two gazers were concerned.Question: What symbolic meaning is suggested by the physical descriptions of the environment in this extract?3. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a goodfortune must be in want of a wife.However little known the feeling or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.Question: How effectively does the author’s employment of rhetorical contribute to conveying the intended meaning?4. Moving the lamp as the man moved, I made out that he was substantially dressed, but roughly; like a voyager by sea. That he had a long iron-grey hair. That his age was about sixty. That he was a muscular man, strong on his legs, and that he was browned and hardened by exposure to weather. As he ascended the last stair or two, and light of my lamp included us both, I saw, with a stupid of amazement, that he was holding out both his hands to me.Question: What is most distinct of the syntax feature in this extract and why?5. It was during the week of hot Sun, that June.Three men were at work on the roof, where the leads got so hot they had the idea or throwing water on to cool them. But the water steamed, then sizzled; and they made jokes about getting an egg from some woman in the flats under them, to poach it for their dinner. By two it was not possible to touch the guttering they were replacing, and they speculated about what workmen did in regularly hot countries. Perhaps they should borrow kitchen gloves with the egg? They were all a bit dizzy, not used to the heat; and they shed their coats and stood side by side squeezing themselves into a foot-wide patch of shade against a chimney, careful to keep their feet in the thick socks and boots out of the sun. There was a fine view across several acres of roofs. Not far off a man sat in a deck chair reading the newspaper. Then they saw her, between chimneys, about fifty yards away. She lay face down on a brown blanket.
