Bassanio was ready to give it to him, but again Portia stopped him.“He said he wanted only the penalty (惩罚) that is in the contract.”Shylock understood that he would not get his pound of flesh.

TheMerchantOfVenice赏析最新原创考试
The Merchant Of V eniceAs we known that the merchant of V enice is one of Shakespeare’s most important works. It not only reflects the conflicts between the capitalists 资本家and usurers高利贷者at the beginning of the capitalist society but expresses the author’s humanist idea on money, law and religion in capitalist society.Shylock in this play is the antagonist. He is the model of usurer. Most people read him as a bogeyman魔鬼, a clownish滑稽的Jewish stereotype. He is selfish, curtly草率地, avaricious贪婪的and niggard吝啬的. Once he has the chance to revenge his foe. He will try his best to make the other into deathtrap. And most of his speech is coarse粗俗的, and sometimes “mean”. All of this makes people take unkindly to him. Being a pagan who lives in Christian society he has strong emotion on the enthusiasm of raising Jewish people’s status地位. Living in this society, he suffers too much public humiliation疏远and oppression压迫. In such condition, his “malic e恶意” is much more reasonable.Actually, his sense of decency礼貌has been fractured挫伤的by the persecution迫害he endures. Comparatively, those kindness and wisdom Christian, in fact, have another hideous feature. So, in my mind, Shylock is a man who is worth sympathizing.。

He asked Antonio to lend him more money, but Antonio d idn’t have enough. He was expecting his ships to return soon, so he encouraged Bassanio to borrow money from a moneylender, and agreed to guarantee the loan.6Chapter 2In Belmont, Portia received a number of suitors who wanted to marry her. She d idn’t like any of them. Before her father died, he made a rule that anyone who wanted to marry her had to choose one of three boxes. If he chose the right box, he could marry her, but if he chose the wrong box, he must never marry anyone. None of her suitors dared to choose a box.Chapter 3Antonio and Bassanio went to Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, to borrow some money from him. Shylockd idn’t like Antonio and didn’t really want to help him or his friend, but decided to lend them money in case he had the chance to hurt Antonio in some way. He made Antonio promise to give one pound of his flesh if he could not repay the money on time. Antonio agreed because he thought that his ships would return in time and he would have enough money by then.Chapter 4The Prince of Morocco came to visit Portia and told her about his wealth and his courage. He told her that he had fought in many battles. He liked her and decided to choose a box. He knew that if he chose the wrong box he would never be able to marry anyone. He wanted to choose a box immediately, but Portia told him they would have dinner first.Chapter 5Shylock’s servant Lancelot was a strange man. He me t his blind father and told him that his son was dead. Gobbo, his father, believed him and Lancelot had to tell him the truth. Lancelot did not like working for Shylock, and wanted to work for Bassanio instead. He persuaded his father to help him, and he got a job with Bassanio.Chapter 6Bassanio decided to have a party when he got the money from Shylock. His friends planned to have a masked parade at the party. One of them, Lorenzo, wa s in love with Shylock’s daughter Jessica, and planned to run away with her on the night of the party. Lancelot took letters from Lorenzo to Jessica and from Jessica to7Lorenzo. Bassanio invited Shylock to come to the party and Shylock accepted, although he was worried that something would go wrong that night. He told Jessica to lock the doors and not let anyone into the house. Jessica took some money and jewels and ran away with Lorenzo. The party ended early because the wind had changed and the ship to Belmont was leaving earlier than expected. Bassanio and Graziano sailed to Belmont.Chapter 7The Prince of Morocco looked at the three boxes. One was made of gold, another of silver and the third of lead. Each of them had some writing on it to help him choose the right one. He chose the gold box because it was the best-looking box. Inside the box was a dead animal and some writing. It said that you should not trust in outward appearance. It was the wrong box, and he went away sad.Chapter 8Shylock was very angry because his daughter had run away with a Chrisitan, and because she had stolen his money and jewels. Antonio’s friends reali zed that he would take revenge on Antonio if he could. A ship sank in a storm near England. Salerio hoped that it was not one of Antonio’s ships.Chapter 9The Prince of Aragon visited Portia and decided to choose a box. He looked carefully at the boxes and read the writing on each one. He chose the silver box, because the writing said that he would get what he deserved. He thought that he deserved Portia, but he d idn’t. It was the wrong box, and he went away disappointed.Chapter 10Antonio’s ships were all sinking and he had no money to repay Shylock. Shylock was very angry because Jessica was wasting the money she had stolen from him. When he heard Antonio’s bad news, he was happy, because now he could take Antonio’s flesh. He th ought that Antonio hated him because he was a Jew, and he told his friends that Jews were people just like Christians.8Bassanio visited Portia and they fell in love. Graziano fell in love with Neri ssa, Portia’s maid. Bassanio ch ose the right box, but when he heard that all of Antonio’s s hips had been lost and that Shylock was demanding his pound of flesh, he hurried back to Venice with Graziano.Chapter 12Portia told Lorenzo and Jessica that she and Nerissa would stay in a convent until Bassanio and Graziano returned from Venice. Instead of this, Portia and Nerissa disguised themselves as men and went to Venice. Lancelot was now Bassanio’s servant and ha d to serve Lorenzo and Jessica while they were looking after Portia’s palace.Chapter 13Bassanio and Graziano went with Antonio to see the Duke. The moneylender still insisted that he wanted his pound of flesh. Antonio was sad, but agreed that it was right. Bassanio offered Shylock lots of money but itd idn’t help. Shylock would not change his mind.Chapter 14Portia and Nerissa arrived in Venice disguised as men. Portia pretended she was a judge and listened to the arguments about the pound of flesh that Shylock wanted to take from Antonio. She asked Shylock to show mercy, or to take the money that Bassanio was offering, but Shylock refused. She said that Shylock could take his pound of flesh, and Shylock was very happy. Then she told him that he could not take any blood. If he did, the Duke would take everything he owned. Shylock decided not to take the pound of flesh, but to take the money instead. Portia said that he could not take the money, because he had said that he didn’t want it. Then she told him that he had tried to kill Antonio, and that half of his possessions would go to Antonio, and the other half to the government. In the end Shylock had to become a Christian, and promise to give all his possessions to Lorenzo and Jessica when he died.9Portia and Nerissa told Bassanio and Graziano that they had to hurry away. Bassanio offered them some money, but Portia said that she would like the ring on his finger instead. Bassanio did not want to give it to her, but Antonio told him to do it, and he did. Graziano also gave Nerissa the ring she gave him.Chapter 16Bassanio, Graziano, and Antonio went to Belmont. Portia and Nerissa got back before them and asked them why they no longer had the rings. Bassanio and Graziano told them what had happened, but Portia pretended that she didn’t believe them. Then she showed them that she had the rings and told them what happened. Some of the news about An tonio’s ships was wrong and he wa s soon a rich man again. In the end, everyone except Shylock was happy.10。
the merchant of venice英语泛读
the merchant of venice英语泛读" The Merchant of Venice " is a play by William Shakespeare, written around 1596. The play is set in Venice, Italy, and tells the story of a merchant named Antonio, who borrows money from a Jewish moneylender, Shylock, to help his friend Bassanio woo the beautiful Portia. However, when Antonio is unable to repay the loan, Shylock demands that he surrender a pound of his flesh as payment.The play explores themes of love, friendship, justice, and revenge, and features a complex web of relationships and conflicts between the characters. One of the central conflicts in the play is the tension between Antonio, a Christian, and Shylock, a Jew, who is often portrayed as a villain in the play.Despite its reputation as a story of anti-Semitism, " The Merchant of Venice " has been subject to much critical debate and interpretation over the centuries. Some scholars argue that the play is a commentary on the treatment of Jews in Elizabethan England, while others see it as a more complex exploration of themes such as morality, justice, and human nature.Overall, " The Merchant of Venice " is a rich and rewarding work of literature that continues to captivate audiences today with its exploration of universal themes and its enduring relevance. Whether you are a student, a scholar, or a casual reader, this play is sure to offer insights and inspiration that will stay with you long after you have finished reading.。

Her shopping had tired her and the basket had grown heavier with every step of the way home. In the lift her thoughts were on lunch and a good rest, but when she got out at her own floor, both were forgotten in her sudden discovery that her front door was open. She was thinking that she must tell her daily maid 〔女仆〕the next morning to lock the door, and then she remembered that she had gone shopping after the maid had left and she knew that she had turned both keys in their locks. She walked slowly into the hall and at once noticed that all the room doors were open, yet following her regular practice she had shut them before going out. Looking into the living room she saw a sight of confusion(混乱)over by her writing desk. It was as clear as daylight then that burglars〔窃贼〕had forced into the house during her absence. Her first thought was to go round all the roomslooking for the thieves, but then she decided that at her age it might be more reasonable to have someone with her, so she went to fetch the doorman from his basement(地下室). By this time her legs were beginning to shake, so she sat down and accepted a cup of a very strong tea, while she telephoned to the police. Then her sense regained, she was ready to set off with the doorman’s help to search for any thieves who might still be hiding in her flat.1. When she saw the front door was open, the old lady forgot about .A. her basket and deskB. her keys and lunchC. her lunch and restD. her maid and child2. The old lady was surprised to find the front door open because .A. she had told the maid to shut itB. she had shut the door herselfC. she saw the maid shut itD. the maid was not usually careful3. She realized burglars had been in the flat when .A. she found the front door openB. she saw the living room was out of orderC. she found the burglars quarrelling among themselvesD. she saw a body by her desk4. The first thing she wanted to do, after she was sure that the house was opened by someone, was .A. force the burglars outB. look around the rooms for the thievesC. go to the doorman for helpD. sit down for a cup of tea in order to calm downBIf you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare〞“Samuel Johnson〞and “Webster〞, but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English—William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon(or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be closed to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even show a distinction(区别)between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “foreign〞than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man’s ambition.1. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were .A. Welsh and ScottishB. Nordic and GermanicC. Celtic and Old EnglishD. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic2. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?A. President, lawyer, beef.B. President, bread, water.C. Bread, field, sheep.D. Folk, field, now.3. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.B. They know little of history of the English language.C. Many French words are similar to English ones.D. They know French better than German.4. What is the subject discussed in the text?A. The history of Great Britain.B. The similarity between English and French.C. The rule of English by William the Conqueror.D. The French influences on the English language.Ⅳ. 短文改错Every morning John goes to work by trains.

11The Merchant of Venice
The Merchant of Venice"The Merchant of V enice"is a play by Shakespeare,he is Britain's the most outstanding Renaissance masters.Shakespeare's play, The play tells a story that happens in Italy. It explored the timeless topic of money and love. Money is the world's most valuable things .There is something even more precious than money? Rich and moving story of family ties, witty dialogue, the plot turn, exaggerated the circumstances of Comedy, romance and legend is full of color. Is intertwined with friendship, love, love the world and lead us to understanding what is important in life.In the play ,a moneyless young Venetian, Bassanio, is making preparations to propose to Portia, a rich beauty of Belmont. He needs money and appeals to his friend Antonio, a merchant of Venice, for help. But Antonio’s money is invested in ships at sea. To help Bassanio in his courtship, he borrows money from Shylock the Jewish usurer. Shylock, who has been insulted by Antonio and other Christians, however, agrees to lend the money on the condition that if the loan is not paid in time, he may cut a pound of flesh from Antonio’s body.In this single-minded pursuit of a pound of flesh, his frequent mentions of the cruelty he has endured at Christian hands make it hard for us to label him a natural born monster. In one of Shakespeare’s most famous monologues, On the other hand, Shylock’s coldly calculated attempt to revenge the wrongs done to him by murdering his persecutor, Antonio, prevents us from viewing him in a primarily positive light. Shakespeare gives us unmistakably human moments, but he often steers us against Shylock as well, painting him as a miserly, cruel, and prosaic figure.I think Shylock suffers much discrimination for he is a Jew. It‘s unfair. All men were born equally.I can learn much from the play. Money is important, but there are many far more important things in this world. Do not be fooled by the surface. In our real live we should threat everyone equally and do not have color vision to look at other people.。

A. helpless B. lazy C . anxious D. tired[解析]四个选项均为形容词，都可填在句中作表语，但上文给出的信息表明，应填tired.答案：D2. A. took B. minded C. missed D. picked[解析]空白后的并列谓语fell已暗示出，父亲上楼时失足了，动词短语miss a step是“失足”“踩滑”的意思。

此空应填look out, 这句是说：“每当父亲脸红的时候，要小心”以免出现其他的麻烦。
