LiteratureI. Fill in the blanks （15 空）II. Choose the best answer for each blank・（10 空）1・After the fall of the Roman Empire 帝国and the withdrawal 撤退of Roman troops from Albion, the aboriginal 土著的Celtic 凯尔特 A population of the larger part of the island was soon conquered 征月艮and almost totally exterminated by the Teutonic 日耳曼人的tribes of Angles , Saxons , and Jutes who came from the continent and settled in the island, naming its central part England. 2・For nearly 400 years prior to the coming of the English, British had been a Roman province. In 410A.D. , the Rome withdrew 撤回their legions 古罗马军团from Britain to protect herself against swarms of Teutonic invaders・3. The literature of early period falls naturally into two divisions, paqan 异教徒and Christian ・The former represents the poetry which the Anglo-Saxons probably brought with them in the form of oral saqas 长篇英雄故事，the crude material out of which literature was slowly developed on English soil；the later represents the writings developed under the teaching of the monks ・4. Among the early Anglo-Saxon poets we may mention Caedmon who lived in the latter half of the 7th century and who wrote a poetic Paraphrase of the Bible・5. The Sonq of Beowulf can be justly termed 称为England's national epic and its hero Beowulf --------- o ne of the national heroes of the English people・6. The Song of Beowulf reflects events which took place on the Continent approximately at the beginning of the 6th century, when the forefathers of the Jutes lived in the southern part of the Scandinavian peninsula 斯堪的纟内维亚半岛and maintained close relations with kindred tribes, e.g. With the Danes who lived on the other side of the straits・7. In the year_1066 ___ , at the battle of _Hastings _______ , the__ Normans ____ h eaded by William, Duke of Normandy, defeated the Anglo-Saxons・8. In the tenth century the Normans conquered a part of northern France, which is still called Normandy, and rapidly adopted 采纟内French civilization and the French lanquaae.9. The literature which Normans brought to England is remarkable for its bright, romantic tales of love and adventure 冒险,in markedcontrast with the strength 力量and somberness 忧郁of Anglo・Saxon poetry.10. (英语的形成)Anglo-Saxon speech simplified 简化itself by dropping of its Teutonic in flections, absorbed eventually a large part of the French vocabulary and became the English language・ 10. English literature is also a combination of _French_and _Saxon_ elements.(选)11. At first the new literature was remarkably varied, but of small intrinsic 本质白勺worth; and very little of it is now read・ In our study we have noted (a) Geoffrey's History, which is valuable as a source book of literature, since it contains the n ative Celtic lege nds of Arthur;(b) the work of the French writers, who made the Arthurian 亚瑟王的legends popular; (c) Riming Chronicles编年史, i.e. history in doggerel 打油诗verse, like Laysmon J s Brut; (d) Metrical Romances 韵律拉丁语，or tales in verse.12 In contradistinction to the alliterative verse of Anglo-Saxon poetry, Chaucer chose the metrical form which laid the foundation of the English tonico-svllbic verse・13.
