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. From William Shakespeare’s Hamlet; (5分)Hamlet has a good chance to kill his uncle, but he hesitated. The reason Hamlet gives for his refusing to kill the king is that if he kills the villain now, he would send his soul to heaven; he would fain kill soul as well as body. What he considers now is no longer his personal wrong but the fate of his country.（5分）22. From Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice; (5分)This is the beginning sentences of the novel. During that time, girls’ marriage is the most important thing in a family, especially in those families whose daughters don’t have much pension. These sentences are ironical. It is not those single man who needs a wife but those young maids who are in need of a rich husband. 5分)23. From John Milton’s Paradise Lost; (5分)It’s through Satan’s mouth. Although defeated, he prevails. Since he has won from God the third part of his angels. Though wounded, he triumphs, for the thunder which hit upon his head left his heart invincible. (5分)Part III Short Essay Questions (每小题10分，共30分)24. Don Juan is Byron’s masterpiece, written in Italy during the years 1818-1823. （2分）It is 16,000 lines long, in 16 cantos, and written in ottava rima, each stanza containing 8 iambic pentameter lines rhymed abababcc.（2分）The story of the poem takes place in the latter part of the 18th century. Don Juan, its hero, is a Spanish youth of noble birth.

Juan alone comes out alive and swims to a Greek island, where he is saved by Haidee. Haidee dies, heart-broken and Juan is sold as a slave to Turkey and then to St. Peterburg. The writer intended to let Don Juan go on a tour through Europe, take part in the French Revolution and die fighting against the reigning tyranny. He called this poem an “epic satire.” (4分)25. Charles Dickens is the greatest writer in critical realism. He wrote lots of novels. (2分)Dickens’s literary creation can be divided into three periods: in the first period, Dickens shows strong belief that social evils can be settled if only every employer reformed himself according to the model set by the benevolent gentlemen in his novels, such as The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist. In the second period, Dickens came back from America. His travel to America impressed him most there was the rule of dollars and the enormously corrupting influence of wealth and power, such as Martin Chuzzlewit and Dombey and Son. In the third period, Dickens became pessimistic and his major works include Bleak House and Hard Times etc. (4分)As a novelist, Dickens is remembered first of all for his character-portrayal. Another feature of Dickens’s fictional art is his humor and satire. In Dickens’s novels’’construction, the main plot is often interwoven with more than one sub-plot so that some interesting minor characters as well as a broader view of life may be introduced. (4分) 26. The work is one of the most popular and important novels of the Victorian age. It is noted for its sharp criticism of the existing society, e.g. the religious hypocrisy of charity institutions, the social discrimination and the false social convention as concerning love and marriage. At the same time, it is an intense moral fable. (4分)Jane, like Mr. Rochester, has to undergo a series of physical and moral tests to grow up and achieve her final happiness. The success of the novel is also due to its introduction to the English novel the first governess heroine. （2分）Jane Eyre is a completely new woman image. She represents those middle-class working women who are struggling for recognition of their rights and equality as a human being. The vivid description of her intense feelings and her thought and inner conflicts brings her to the heart of the audience. （4分）Part IV Appreciating a Literary Work (计20分)答题要点：Plot.

I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.”“In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.”“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighborhood.”“It is more than I engage for, I assure you.”“But consider your daughters.

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?

What is the poet’s reaction as revealedin the poem?2.Wordsworth believes that “All good poetry is the spo ntaneous overflow ofpowerful feelings” and poetry “takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility”. How does this poem reflect the poet’s philosophy of composition? Excerpt 2:The proper study of mankind is man.Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,A being darkly wise, and rudely great:With too much knowledge for the Skeptic side,With too much weakness for the Stoic’s pride,He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest;In doubt to deem himself a God, or beast;In doubt his mind or body to prefer;Born but to die, and reasoning such,Whether he thinks too little or too much;Chaos of thought and passion, all confused;Still by himself abused or disabused;Created half to rise, and half to fall;(Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man)Questions:1.What’s the topic of the above lines?2.Summarize the main idea in a few sentences.Excerpt 3:I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.I do therefore humbly offer it to public consideration that of the hundred and twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one fourth part to be males, which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle, or swine; and my reason is that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore one male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the remaining hundred thousand may at a year old be offered in sale to the person of quality and fortune through the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish; and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.(Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal) Questions:1.What is the author’s modest proposal in the passage? And what do you think ishis real idea behind it?2.What kind of tone is shown in the passage? (Explain it with specific quotationsfrom the text)Part V. Critical Reading (25%)Read the attached short story and answer the questions in essay form.1.What’s the turning point in the murder trial? Describe it in a few sentences.2.Read carefully the last two paragraphs of the story and comment, in the form of a150-200-word essay, on the message or real meaning of the author.The Case for the DefenseGraham Greene1 It was the strangest murder trial that I ever attended. They named it the Peckham murder in the headlines, though Northwood Street, where the old woman was found battered to death, was not strictly speaking in Peckham. This was not one of those cases of circumstantial evidence in which you feel the juryman’s anxiety—because mistakes have been made—like domes of silence muting the court. No, this murderer was all but found with the body; no one present when the Crown counsel outlined his case believed that the man in the dock stood any chance at all.2 He was a heavy stout man with bulging bloodshot eyes. All his muscles seemed to be in his thighs. Y es, an ugly customer, one you wouldn’t forget in a hurry—and that was an important point because the Crown proposed to call four witnesses who had n’t forgotten him, who had seen him hurrying away from the little red villa in Northwood Street. The clock had just struck two in the morning.3 Mrs. Salmon in 15 Northwood Street had been unable to sleep; she heard a door click shut and thought it was her own gate. So she went to the window and saw Adams (that was his name) on the steps of Mrs. Parker’s house. He had just come out and he was wearing gloves. He had a hammer in his hand and she saw him drop it into the laurel bushes at the front gate. But before he moved away, he had looked up—at her window. The fatal instinct that tells a man when he is watched exposed him in the light of a street-lamp to her gaze—his eyes suffused with horrifying and brutal fear, like an animal’s when you raise a whip. I talked afterwards to Mrs. Salmon, who naturally after the astonishing verdict went in fear herself. As I imagined did all the witnesses—Henry MacDougall, who had been driving home from Benfleet late and nearly ran Adams down at the corner of Northwood Street. Adams was walking in the middle of the road looking dazed. And old Mr. Wheeler, who lived next door to Mrs. Parker, at No. 12 and was waken by a noise—like a chair falling—through the thin-as-paper villa wall, and got up and looked out of the window, just as Mrs. Salmon had done, saw Adam’s back and, as he turned, those bulging eyes. In Laurel Avenue he had been seen by yet another witness—his luck was badly out; he might as well have committed the crime in broad daylight.4 “I understand,”the counsel said, “that the defense proposes to plead mistakenidentity. Adams’wife will tell you that he was with her at two in the morning on February 14, but after you have heard the witnesses for the Crown and examined carefully the features of the prisoner, I do not think you will be prepared to admit the possibility of a mistake.”5It was all over, you would have said, but the hanging.6 After the formal evidence had been given by the policeman who had found the body and the surgeon who examined it, Mrs. Salmon was called. She was the ideal witness, with her slight Scotch accent and her expression of honesty, care and kindness.7 The counsel for the Crown brought the story gently out. She spoke very firmly. There was no malice in her, and no sense of importance at standing there in the Central Criminal Court with a judge in scarlet handing on her words and the reporters writing them down. Y es, she said, and then she had gone down stairs and rung up the police station.8 “And do you see the man here in court?”She looked straight and at the big man in the dock, who stared at her with his Pekingese eyes without emotion.“Y es,” she said, “there he is.”“Y ou are quite certain?”She said simply, “I couldn’t be mistaken, sir.”It was as easy as that.“Thank you, Mrs. Salmon.”9 Counsel for the defense rose to cross-examine. If you had reported as many murder trials as I have, you would have known beforehand what line he would take. And I was right, up to a point.10 “Now, Mrs. Salmon, you must have remembered that a man’s life may depend on your evidence.”“I do remember it, sir.”“Is your eyesight good?”“I have never had to wear spectacles, sir.”“Y ou are a woman of fifty-five?”“Fifty-six, sir.”“And the man you saw was on the other side of the road?”“Y es, sir.”“And it was two o’clock in the morning. Y ou must have remarkable eyes, Mrs. Salmon?”“No, sir. There was moonlight, and the man looked up, he had the lamplight on his face.”11 I couldn’t make out what he was at. He couldn’t have expected any other answer than the one he got.12“None whatever, sir. It isn’t a face one forgets.”13 Counsel took a look around the court for a moment. Then he said, “Do you mind, Mrs. Salmon, examining again the people in court? No, not the prisoner. Stand up, please, Mr. Adams,”and there at the back of the court with thick stout body andmuscular legs and a pair of bulging eyes, was the exact image of the man in the dock. He was even dressed the same—tight blue suit and striped tie.14 “Now think very carefully, Mrs. Salmon. Can you still swear that the man you saw drop the hammer in Mrs. Parker’s garden was the prisoner—and not this man, who is his twin brother?”15Of course she couldn’t. She looked from one to the other and didn’t say a word.16 There the big brute sat in the dock with his legs crossed, and there he stood too at the back of the court and they both stared at Mrs. Salmon. She shook her head.17 What we saw then was the end of the case. There wasn’t a witness prepared to swear that it was the prisoner he’d seen. And the brother? He had his own alibi too; he was with his wife.18 And so the man was acquitted for lack of evidence. But whether if he did the murder and not his brother—he was punished or not, I don’t know. That extraordinary day had an extraordinary end. I followed Mrs. Salmon out of court and we got wedged in the crowd who were waiting, of course, for the twins. The police tried to drive the crowd away, but all they could do was keep the roadway clear for traffic. I learned later that they tried to get the twins to leave by a back way, but they wouldn’t. One of them—no one knew which—said, “I’ve been acquitted, haven’t I?” and they walked bang out of the front entrance. Then it happened. I don’t know how, though I was only six feet away. The crowd moved and somehow one of the twins got pushed on to the road right in front of a bus.19 He gave a squeal like a rabbit and that was all; he was dead, his skull smashed just as Mrs. Parker’s had been. Divine vengeance? I wish I knew. There was the other Adams getting on his feet from beside the body and looking straight over at Mrs. Salmon. He was crying, but whether he was the murderer or the innocent man nobody will ever be able to tell. But if you were Mrs. Salmon, could you sleep at night?。
