Don’t argue — just say it.CP: Yes, say it, Eliza! You’ll understand soon. Do what he tells you and let him teach you in his own way.E: Oh, well! If you put it like that! Ahyee, Bayee, Sayee, Dayee …H: (bored) Stop at onc e. Now say A, B, C, and D.E: (in tears) But I am saying it. Ahee, Bayee, Sayee, Dayee …H: Stop! Say “a cup of tea”.E: I cap-o-tee.H: Put your tongue forward until it pushes against the top of your lower teeth. Now say “cup”.E: C-c-c. I can’t. I can’t hear no difference ’cept that it sounds more genteel — like when you say it. (begins to cry)H: (angrily) Well, if you can hear that, why are you crying? Now try again, Eliza. E: C-cup.CP: Splendid, Miss Doolittle. Never mind a little crying, you are doing very well. The lessons won’t hurt. I promise not to let him pull you round by your hair. H: Now try the whole thing, Eliza. A cup of tea.E: (very slowly and with emphasis) A cu-up of tea.CP: Good, good!H: Better, better! Now try this sentence. “The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain”.E: (again with emphasis) The rine in Spine falls minely on the pline.H: (excitedly) It’s coming! It’s coming! Now try again, Eliza. (slowly) The rain (ai, ai, ai) in Spain (ai, ai, ai) falls mainly on the plain.E: The rai-ain in Spai-ain falls mai-ainly on the plain.P: Miss Doolittle, that’s so much better.H: Now, Eliza, go and practise by yourself.

I bet I got it right.C: I hope it won’t turn cold though. There’s so much flu about.E: My aunt died of flu, so they said. But I believe they done the old woman in. C: Done her in? Please what does that mean, Mr Higgins?H: Oh, that’s the new small talk. To do a person in means to kill them.E: (continuing)Yes, why should she die of influenza? She recovered from diphtheria the year before. I believe they done her in.C: (turning to Eliza) Do you mean that?E: (getting enthusiastic) Yes, I do! What became of her new straw hat that shepromised to me? Somebody stole it, and what I say is: the person w ho stole it, done her in. Her family would have killed her for a hat-pin, let alone a hat!F:(can’t help laughing) I like the new small talk.E: (angrily) If that was right, why were you laughing? Have I said anything I oughtn’t, Mrs Higgins?MH: Not at all.E: Well, what I say is …H: (looking at his watch) Ahem!E: (taking the hint and rising)Well, I must go. So pleased to have met you. Goodbye.

Do you think, Pickering, we should take her to the theatre?CP: Yes, what a good idea!

Mr Pommuck catches sight of Henry as he enters the room and rushes up to him.O = official announcerListen again and fill in the blanks.P: Well, hello, Professor Higgins. Do you remember me?H: No, I don’t. Who the devil are you?P: I’m Pommuck. I was your first student, your best and greatest pupil.H: What are you doing here?P: I’m an interpreter for the ambassador and I can speak THIRTY-TWO languages. Nobody can fool me when it comes to discovering what country they come from. (Colonel Pickering and Eliza stand in line ready to be introduced to the ambassador and his wife.)CP: Are you nervous, Eliza?E: No, not me. (laughs) Oh, Colonel, this is too much of a dream for that!O: (loudly) Miss Doolittle, Colonel Pickering and Professor Higgins.W: Hello, my dear. The ambassador and I are s o happy to meet you.E: (slowly and clearly) How do you do? (passes on to the party)P: (catches sight of Eliza)My goodness, who is she? I must go and find out. (follows Eliza)A: Now come on, Henry. Tell us about that wonderful young lady.H: What wonderful young lady?W: You know very well. They tell me there has been nothing like this for years. They are all standing on their cha irs to look at her. (Mr Pomm uck comes back.)A: Ah, here’s Pommuck. What have you found out about Miss Doolittle?P: I’ve found out all about her, ambassador. She’s a cheat.W: A cheat! Oh no!P: Yes, yes. She can’t hide it from me. Her name can’t be Doolittle.H: (nervously) Why?P: Because Doolittle is an English name. And she’s not English.W: Nonsense. She speaks English perfectly!P: That’s it! Too perfectly. Can you show me any English woman who speaks English so well? Only foreigners can speak it so well.W: Well, if she’s not English, what is she?P: Hungarian.EVERYBODY: (astonished) Hungarian?P: Hungarian and a princess.H: Did you speak to her in Hungarian?P: I did. She was very clever and said (imitates Eliza)“Pl ease speak to me in English.I don’t understand French”. Impossible. She knows both.H: And a princess?P: Yes, yes, Professor Higgins.W: I agree. She must be a princess.A: I agree too.H: Well, I don’t agree with you. (Pickering enters with Eliza)E: (to Henry)I’m ready to go home now. I don’t think I can bear it much more. People stare at me so. An old lady said I spoke just like the Queen. I’m sorry if I lost the bet, but I did my best.CP: You’ve not lost it, my dear. You’ve won it ten times over. (to Henry) Let’s go now, Henry. Eliza’s tired and I’m hungry. Let’s go and have supper somewhere. E: Yes please! I feel like some simple food tonight. (all exit)。

wrote.However，not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man，except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford upon Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway.We know nothing of his school life.We do not know，for example，how long it lasted，but we presume that he attended the local grammar school，where the principal subject taught was Latin.Nothing certain is known for what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London.According to a local legend，he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner，Sir Thomas Lucy.It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place.A different legend says that he was apprenticed to a Stratford butcher，but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth，the world can be grateful that he did so.What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London.It is said that at first he had no money or friends there，butthat he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre.In_time，as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre，they stopped and spoke to him.They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.1．In the early life of Shakespeare，he________.A．attended a public schoolB．lived in LondonC．studied LatinD．was put in prison for stealing cattle2．Why was he forced to leave his native place according to this passage?A．Because he did not want to go to school.B．Because he left for London to become famous.C．Because he had stolen deer and was beaten.D．No one knows for certain.3．Why can the world be grateful that he left his hometown?A．Because he wrote many world famous plays after leaving his hometown.B．Because he became a good rider in London.C．Because he was an actor at last.D．Because he travelled all over the world.4．The underlined phrase “In time〞 in Paragraph 3 means________.A．on time B．sometimesC．some time later D．some time5．The BEST title is________.A．The Early Life of ShakespeareB．Shakespeare's Life in LondonC．Shakespeare's Role in PerformanceD．Shakespeare's Later LifeBWhether it's a carol(圣诞颂歌) service or an evening of karaoke in the pub，many people will enjoy a good old singsong this Christmas.Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits－it's good for your physical health as well.Filling the lungs with air，increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.For the past few years Heart Research UK has been running a Christmas campaignaimed at getting people singing，simply for the benefit it can bring.The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe，simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy.“Singing is linked to long life，stress reduction，and general health protection.It also brings a great amount of happiness.It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch(音高)．〞Professor Graham Welch，who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London，has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing.He says that singing is a form of exercise.It means we're also having a strong aerobic activity(有氧运动) when we're singing，which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.“And communal singing－like in a singing group，a church service or even a singsong in the pub－helps improve our sense of selfrespect.It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves，a greater sense of feeling included.〞Helen Astrid，a singing teacher，also sees the great effects that singing brings.“It lifts us up on a spiritual level，it helps out selfrespect，and it's great for all ages from small kids to grannies－you can have a good sing andlet_your_hair_down.〞But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine，though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.6．Heart Research UK holds a campaign to ________.A．encourage people to sing for God at ChristmasB．study the effects of singing on peopleC．get people to sing and improve their healthD．bring happiness to people during holidays7．What are the benefits of singing according to Graham Welch?a．Singers' living longer.B．Singers' general health protection.c．Singers' feeling happier.D．Singers' stress reduced.e．Singers' selfrespect improved.A．a，b，c B．b，c，dC．c，d，e D．a，b，e8．The underlined part “let your hair down〞 probably means ________.A．feel at easeB．protect yourselfC．dress casuallyD．cover your nervousness9．What can we infer from the passage?A．Singing at Christmas is good for health.B．In a low mood one is not able to sing well.C．Experts have disagreement on singing.D．Singing is the same as other aerobic activities.10．Which is the BEST title of the passage?A．Karaoke－Best Place for Singing!B．Christmas－Best Time for Singing!C．Singing－Healthy but Difficult!D．For Health－Let's Sing!Ⅳ.翻译句子1．容易忽略像那样的小细节。

高中英语Unit4 Pygmalion(4)

Unit4 Pygmalion(4)ACT IVThe Wimpole Street laboratory, Midnight. Nobody in the room. The clock on the mantelpiece strikes twelve. The fire is not alight: it is a summer night.Presently Higgins and Pickering are heard on the stars.HIGGINS [calling down to Pickering] I say, Pick: lock up, will you. I shant be going out again.PICKERING. Right. Can Mrs. Pearce go to bed? We dont want anything more, do we?HIGGINS. Lord, no!Eliza opens the door and is seen on the lighted landing in opera cloak, brilliant evening dress, and diamonds, with fan, flowers, and all accessories. She comes to the hearth, and switches on the electric lights there. She is tired: her pallor contrasts strongly with her dark eyes and hair; and her expression is almost tragic. She takes off her cloak; puts her fan and flowers on the piano; and sits down on the bench, brooding and silent. Higgins, in evening dress, with overcoat and hat, comes in, carrying a smoking jacket which he has picked up downstairs. He takes off the hat and overcoat; throws them carelessly on the newspaper stand; disposes of his coat in the same way; puts on the smoking jacket; and throws himself wearily into the easy-chair at the hearth. Pickering, similarly attired, comes in. He also takes off his hat and overcoat, and is about to throw them on Higgins's when he hesitates.PICKERING. I say: Mrs. Pearce will row if we leave these things lying about in the drawing-room.HIGGINS. Oh, chuck them over the bannisters into the hall. She'll find them there in the morning and put them away all right. She'll think we were drunk.PICKERING. We are, slightly. Are there any letters?HIGGINS. I didnt look. [Pickering takes the overcoats and hats and goes down stairs. Higgins begins half singing half yawning an air from La Fanciulla del Golden West. Suddenly he stops and exclaims] I wonder where the devil my slippers are!Eliza looks at him darkly; then rises suddenly and leaves the room.Higgins yawns again, and resumes his song.Pickering returns, with the contents of the letter-box in his hand.PICKERING. Only circulars, and this coroneted billet-doux for you. [He throws the circulars into the fender, and posts himself on the hearthrug, with his back to the grate].HIGGINS [glancing at the billet-doux] Money-lender. [He throws the letter after the circulars].Eliza returns with a pair of large down-at-heel slippers. She places them on the carpet before Higgins, and sits as before without a word.HIGGINS [yawning again] Oh Lord! What an evening! What a crew! What a silly tomfoollery! [He raises his shoe to unlace it, and catches sight of the slippers. He stops unlacing and looks at them as if they had appeared there of their own accord]. Oh! theyre there, are they?PICKERING [stretching himself] Well, I feel a bit tired. It's been a long day. The garden party, a dinner party, and the opera! Rather too much of a good thing. But youve won your bet, Higgins. Eliza did the trick, and something to spare, eh?HIGGINS [fervently] Thank God it's over!Eliza flinches violently; but they take no notice of her; and she recovers herself and sits stonily as before.PICKERING. Were you nervous at the garden party? I was. Eliza didnt seem a bit nervous.HIGGINS. Oh, she wasnt nervous. I knew she'd be all right. No: it's the strain of putting the job through all these months that has told on me. It was interesting enough at first, while we were at the phonetics; but after that I got deadly sick of it. If I hadnt backed myself to do it I should have chucked the whole thing up two months ago. It was a silly notion: the whole thing has been a bore.PICKERING. Oh come! the garden party was frightfully exciting. My heart began beating like anything.HIGGINS. Yes, for the first three minutes. But when I saw we were going to win hands down, I felt like a bear in a cage, hanging about doing nothing. The dinner was worse: sitting gorging there for over an hour, with nobody but a damned fool of a fashionable woman to talk to! I tell you, Pickering, never again for me. No more artificial duchesses. The whole thing has been simple purgatory.PICKERING. Youve never been broken in properly to the social routine. [Strolling over to the piano] I rather enjoy dipping into it occasionally myself: it makes me feel young again. Anyhow, it was a great success: an immense success. I was quite frightened once or twice because Eliza was doing it so well. You see, lots of the real people cant do it at all: theyre such fools that they think style comes by nature to people in their position; and so they never learn. Theres always something professional about doing a thing superlatively well.HIGGINS. Yes: thats what drives me mad: the silly people dont know their own silly business. [Rising] However, it's over and done with; and now I can go to bed at last without dreading tomorrow.Eliza's beauty becomes murderous.PICKERING. I think I shall turn in too. Still, it's been a great occasion: a triumph for you.Good-night. [He goes].HIGGINS [following him] Good-night. [Over his shoulder, at the door] Put out the lights, Eliza; and tell Mrs. Pearce not to make coffee for me in the morning: I'll take tea. [He goes out].Eliza tries to control herself and feel indifferent as she rises and walks across to the hearth to switch off the lights. By the time she gets there she is on the point of screaming. She sits down in Higgins's chair and holds on hard to the arms. Finally she gives way and flings herself furiously on the floor raging.HIGGINS [in despairing wrath outside] What the devil have I done with my slippers? [He appears at the door].LIZA [snatching up the slippers, and hurling them at him one after the other with all her force] There are your slippers. And there. Take your slippers; and may you never have a day's luck with them!HIGGINS [astounded] What on earth—! [He comes to her]. Whats the matter? Get up. [He pulls her up]. Anything wrong?LIZA [breathless] Nothing wrong—with y o u. Ive won your bet for you, havnt I? Thats enough for you. I dont matter, I suppose.HIGGINS. Y o u won my bet! You! Presumptuous insect! I won it. What did you throw those slippers at me for?LIZA. Because I wanted to smash your face. I'd like to kill you, you selfish brute. Why didnt you leave me where you picked me out of—in the gutter? You thank God it's all over, and that now you can throw me back again there, do you? [She crisps her fingers frantically].HIGGINS [looking at her in cool wonder] The creature i s nervous, after all.LIZA [gives a suffocated scream of fury, and instinctively darts her nails at his face] !!HIGGINS [catching her wrists] Ah! would you? Claws in, you cat. How dare you shew your temper to me? Sit down and be quiet. [He throws her roughly into the easy-chair].LIZA [crushed by superior strength and weight] Whats to become of me? Whats to become of me?HIGGINS. How the devil do I know whats to become of you? What does it matter what becomes of you?LIZA. You dont care. I know you dont care. You wouldnt care if I was dead. I'm nothing to you—not so much as them slippers.HIGGINS [thundering] T h o s e slippers.LIZA [with bitter submission] Those slippers. I didnt think it made any difference now.A pause. Eliza hopeless and crushed. Higgins a little uneasy.HIGGINS [in his loftiest manner] Why have you begun going on like this? May I ask whether you complain of your treatment here?LIZA. No.HIGGINS. Has anybody behaved badly to you? Colonel Pickering? Mrs. Pearce? Any of the servants?LIZA. No.HIGGINS. I presume you dont pretend that I have treated you badly.LIZA. No.HIGGINS. I am glad to hear it. [He moderates his tone]. Perhaps youre tired after the strain of the day. Will you have a glass of champagne? [He moves towards the door].LIZA. No. [Recollecting her manners] Thank you.HIGGINS [good-humored again] This has been coming on you for some days. I suppose it was natural for you to be anxious about the garden party. But thats all over now. [He pats her kindly on the shoulder. She writhes]. Theres nothing more to worry about.LIZA. No. Nothing more for y o u to worry about. [She suddenly rises and gets away from him by going to the piano bench, where she sits and hides her face]. Oh God! I wish I was dead.HIGGINS [staring after her in sincere surprise] Why? in heaven's name, why? [Reasonably, going to her] Listen to me, Eliza. All this irritation is purely subjective.LIZA. I dont understand. I'm too ignorant.HIGGINS. It's only imagination. Low spirits and nothing else. Nobody's hurting you. Nothing's wrong. You go to bed like a good girl and sleep it off. Have a little cry and say your prayers: that will make you comfortable.LIZA. I heard y o u r prayers. "Thank God it's all over!"HIGGINS [impatiently] Well, dont you thank God it's all over? Now you are free and can do what you like.LIZA [pulling herself together in desperation] What am I fit for? What have you left me fit for? Where am I to go? What am I to do? Whats to become of me?HIGGINS [enlightened, but not at all impressed] Oh, thats whats worrying you, is it? [He thrusts his hands into his pockets, and walks about in his usual manner, rattling the contents of his pockets, as if condescending to a trivial subject out of pure kindness]. I shouldnt bother about it if I were you. I should imagine you wont have much difficulty in settling yourself somewhere or other, though I hadnt quite realized that you were going away. [She looks quickly at him: he does not look at her, but examines the dessert stand on the piano and decides that he will eat an apple]. You might marry, you know. [He bites a large piece out of the apple, and munches it noisily]. You see, Eliza, all men are not confirmed old bachelors like me and the Colonel. Most men are the marrying sort (poor devils!); and youre not bad-looking; it's quite a pleasure to look at you sometimes—not now, of course, because youre crying and looking as ugly as the very devil; but when youre all right and quite yourself, youre what I should call attractive. That is, to the people in the marrying line, you understand. You go to bed and have a good nice rest; and then get up and look at yourself in the glass; and you wont feel so cheap.Eliza again looks at him, speechless, and does not stir.The look is quite lost on him: he eats his apple with a dreamy expression of happiness, as it is quite a good one.HIGGINS [a genial afterthought occurring to him] I daresay my mother could find some chap or other who would do very well.LIZA. We were above that at the corner of Tottenham Court Road.HIGGINS [waking up] What do you mean?LIZA. I sold flowers. I didnt sell myself. Now youve made a lady of me I'm not fit to sell anything else. I wish youd left me where you found me.HIGGINS. [slinging the core of the apple decisively into the grate] Tosh, Eliza. Dont you insult human relations by dragging all this cant about buying and selling into it. You neednt marry the fellow if you dont like him.LIZA. What else am I to do?HIGGINS. Oh, lots of things. What about your old idea of a florist's shop? Pickering could set you up in one: hes lots of money. [Chuckling] He'll have to pay for all those togs you have been wearing today; and that, with the hire of the jewellery, will make a big hole in two hundred pounds. Why,six months ago you would have thought it the millennium to have a flower shop of your own. Come! youll be all right. I must clear off to bed: I'm devilish sleepy. By the way, I came down for something: I forget what it was.LIZA. Your slippers.HIGGINS. Oh yes, of course. You shied them at me. [He picks them up, and is going out when she rises and speaks to him].LIZA. Before you go, sir—HIGGINS [dropping the slippers in his surprise at her calling him Sir] Eh?LIZA. Do my clothes belong to me or to Colonel Pickering?HIGGINS [coming back into the room as if her question were the very climax of unreason] What the devil use would they be to Pickering?LIZA. He might want them for the next girl you pick up to experiment on.HIGGINS [shocked and hurt] Is t h a t the way you feel towards us?LIZA. I dont want to hear anything more about that. All I want to know is whether anything belongs to me. My own clothes were burnt.HIGGINS. But what does it matter? Why need you start bothering about that in the middle of the night?LIZA. I want to know what I may take away with me. I dont want to be accused of stealing.HIGGINS [now deeply wounded] Stealing! You shouldnt have said that, Eliza. That shews a want of feeling.LIZA. I'm sorry. I'm only a common ignorant girl; and in my station I have to be careful. There cant be any feelings between the like of you and the like of me. Please will you tell me what belongs to me and what doesn't?HIGGINS [very sulky] You may take the whole damned houseful if you like. Except the jewels. Theyre hired. Will that satisfy you? [He turns on his heel and is about to go in extreme dudgeon].LIZA [drinking in his emotion like nectar, and nagging him to provoke a further supply] Stop, please. [She takes off her jewels]. Will you take these to your room and keep them safe? I dont want to run the risk of their being missing.HIGGINS [furious] Hand them over. [She puts them into his hands]. If these belonged to me instead of to the jeweler, I'd ram them down your ungrateful throat. [He perfunctorily thrusts them into his pockets, unconsciously decorating himself with the protruding ends of the chains].LIZA [taking a ring off] This ring isnt the jeweler's: it's the one you bought me in Brighton. I dont want it now. [Higgins dashes the ring violently into the fireplace, and turns on her so threateningly that she crouches over the piano with her hands over her face, and exclaims] Dont you hit me.HIGGINS. Hit you! You infamous creature, how dare you accuse me of such a thing? It is you who have hit me. You have wounded me to the heart.LIZA [thrilling with hidden joy] I'm glad. Ive got a little of my own back, anyhow.HIGGINS [with dignity, in his finest professional style] You have caused me to lose my temper: a thing that has hardly ever happend to me before. I prefer to say nothing more tonight. I am going to bed.LIZA [pertly] Youd better leave a note for Mrs. Pearce about the coffee; for she wont be told by me.HIGGINS [formally] Damn Mrs. Pearce; and damn the coffee; and damn you; and damn my own folly in having lavished hard-earned knowledge and the treasure of my regard and intimacy on a heartless guttersnipe. [He goes out with impressive decorum, and spoils it by slamming the door savagely].Eliza smiles for the first time; expresses her feelings by a wild pantomime in which an imitation of Higgins's exit is confused with her own triumph; and finally goes down on her knees on the hearthrug to look for the ring.。

2014-2015学年高中英语 Unit 4 Pygmalion George Bernard Sh

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) -BiographyIrish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesman, and a leading figure in the 20th century theater. Shaw was a freethinker, defender of women's rights, and advocate of equality of ine. In 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Shaw accepted the honor but refused the money.George Bernard Shaw was born in Dublin, where he grew up in something close to genteel poverty. "I am a typical Irishman; my family came from Yorkshire," Shaw once said. His father, George Carr Shaw, was in the wholesale grain trade. Lucinda Elisabeth (Gurly) Shaw, his mother, was the daughter of an impoverished landowner. She was 16-years younger than her husband. George Carr was a drunkard - his example prompted his son to bee a teetotaller（滴酒不沾的人）. When he died in 1885, his children and wife did not attend his funeral. Young Shaw and his two sisters were brought up mostly by servants.A man of many causes, Shaw supported abolition of private property, radical change in the voting system, campaigned for the simplification of spelling, and the reform of the English alphabet. As a public speaker, Shaw gained the status of one of the most sought-after orators in England. In 1895 Shaw became a drama critic for the Saturday Review. Articles written for the paper were later collected in OUR THEATRES IN THE NINETIES (1932). Music, art, and drama criticism Shaw wrote for Dramatic Review (1885-86), Our Corner (1885-86), The Pall Mall Gazette (1885-88), The World (1886-94), and The Star (1888-90) as 'Corno bi Basetto'. His music criticism were collected in SHAW'S MUSIC (1981). After lacing a shoe too tightly, an operation was performed on his foot for necrosis; Shaw was unable to put his foot on the ground for eighteen months. During this period he wrote CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA (1901) and THE PERFECT WAGNERITE (1898).The Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen had a great influence on Shaw's thinking. Forasummer meeting of the Fabian Society in 1890, he wrote THE QUINTESSENCE OF IBSENISM (1891), in which he considered Ibsen a pioneer, "who declares that it is right to do something hitherto regarded as infamous." Shaw's early plays, WIDOWER'S HOUSES (1892), which criticized slum landlords, as well as several subsequent ones, were not well received. His 'unpleasant plays', ideological attacks on the evils of capitalism and explorations of moral and social problems, were followed with more entertaining but as principled productions. "To a professional critic (I have been one myself) theatre-going is the curse of Adam. The play is the evil he is paid to endure in the sweat of his brow; and the sooner it is over, the better." (from 'Preface' to Saint Joan) . CANDIDA was a edy about the wife of a clergyman, and what happens when a weak, young poet wants to rescue her from her dull family life. But it was not until JOHN BULL'S OTHER ISLAND (1904) that Shaw gained in England a wider popularity with his own plays. In the UnitesStates and Germany Shaw's name was already well-known. Between 1904 and 1907 The Royal Court Theatre staged several of his plays, including Candida.In his plays Shaw bined contemporary moral problems with ironic tone and paradoxes, "Shavian" wit, which have produced such phrases as "He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches", "England and America are two countries divided by a mon language", "Christianity might be a good thing if anyone ever tried it", and "I never resist temptation because I have found that things are bad for me do not tempt me." Discussion and intellectual acrobatics are the basis of his drama, and before the emergence of the sound film, his plays were nearly impossible to adapt into screen. During his long career, Shaw wrote over 50 plays. He continued to write them even in his 90s. George Bernard Shaw died at Ayot wrence, Hertfordshire, on November 2, 1950. He was cremated and it was his wish that his ashes be mixed with those of his wife, Charlotte - she had died seven years before, "aowed and crippled, furrowed and wrinkled," as Shaw depicted her in a letter to H.G. Wells.Since the days of the silent films, Shaw had been a fan of motion-picture. He also played in the film Rosy Rapture - The Pride of the Beauty (1914). Shaw did not like much of the German film version of Pygmalion (1935), and the penniless producer and director Gabriel Pascal persuaded the author to give him the rights to make films from his plays. "Mr Pascal, you're the first honest film producer I have ever met," Shaw told him at their first meeting and gave him a pound note. Pygmalion, produced by Pascal and directed by Anthony Asquith and David Lean (uncredited), was a great success. In one article, Pascal was picked with the Pope and Hitler as one of the ten most famous men of 1938, but his career ended in the financial fiasco of the spectacle Caesar and Cleopatra (1945). Among several other films inspired by Shaw's plays are Saint Joan (1927), How He Lied to Her Husband (1931), Arms and the Man (1932), Major Barbara (1941), and My Fair Lady (1964). Pascal's co-director in Major Barbara was David Lean, but for thousand pounds Lean agreed to give the full credit to Pascal.。

B．A carpet.C．A fence. D．A flower garden.27．We can know from the passage that the chipmunk________.A．made fun of the authorB．stole something important in the houseC．destroyed the author's workD．came for some food28．What did the author do to the chipmunk?A．He caught it and gave it some punishment.B．He frightened it away.C．He tried to catch it but failed.D．He didn't do any harm to it.29．We can conclude from the passage that________.A．the author was not quite satisfied with his family lifeB．the author was quite satisfied with his projectC．the barriers the author set up were quite successfulD．the chipmunk had a happy family just like the author30．What kind of feeling did the author intend to express in the passage?A．Satisfaction and pleasure.B．Regret and disappointment.C．Love and appreciation.D．Understanding and sympathy.BArthur Miller (1915－2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th ler's father had moved to the USA from AustriaHungary，drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”．However，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.Miller's most famous play，Death of a Salesman，is a powerful attack on the American system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.In Willy Loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he can't do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the Wagner Company，and he must go.Willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award，and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury，Connecticut, on the evening of February 10,2005，the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.31．Why did Arthur Miller's father move to the USA?A．He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.B．He was attracted by the “Great American Dream”．C．He hoped to make his son a dramatist.D．His family business failed.32．The play Death of a Salesman ________.A．exposes the cruelty of the American business worldB．discusses the ways to get promoted in a companyC．talks about the business career of Arthur MillerD．focuses on the skills in doing business33．What can we learn about Willy Loman?A．He treats his employer badly.B．He runs the Wagner Company.C．He is a victim of the American system.D．He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.34．After it was first staged，Death of a Salesman ________.A．achieved huge successB．won the first Tony AwardC．was warmly welcomed by salesmenD．was severely attacked by dramatists35. What is the text mainly about?A．Arthur Miller and his family.B．The awards Arthur Miller won.C．The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.D．Arthur Miller and his bestknown play.CToday，we complete our story about the influential English writer WilliamShakespeare.He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries，which remain very popular today.During earlier times，people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays.It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works.For example，in Shak espeare's play “The Comedy of Errors”，Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus.For his play “Macbeth”，Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，but the intensity of his imagination and language made the plays his own.While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten，Shakespeare and his art live on.Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him.He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays.His works include observations about political struggles，the fear of diseases，and the popular language of the city's tradesmen.Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear.His works include descriptions of deep forests，local flowers，and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture.But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.During his time，the English language was changing.Many new words from other languages were being added.Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic (富诗意的) inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.For example，he created the noun forms of “critic”，“mountaineer” and “eyeball”．Many common expressions in English come from his plays，including “pomp and circumstance(隆重的仪式)” from “Othello” ，“full circle (绕圈子)” from “King Lear”，etc.The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless.From paintings to television to music and dance，Shakespeare was well represented.Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.Shakespeare became a wellknown writ er during a golden age of theater.His years of hard work paid off.36．What can we infer from the passage?A．Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.B．Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.C．The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.D．Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.37．Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works in________.A．“King Lear”B．“The Comedy of Errors”C．“Macbeth” D．“Othello”38．Why could Shakespeare's works survive his time?A．Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.B．Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.C．Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.D．Because his works were rich in imagination and language.39．Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on ________.A．the English languageB．paintingsC．televisionD．music and dance40．The passage is mainly about________.A．an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his worksB．the main features and styles of Shakespeare's playsC．how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced cultureD．Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world cultureDWhether you're studying for a test，reviewing paperwork for your job，or trying to understand a journal article，reading comprehension is involved in.Unfortunately，when the reading material is difficult，our reading comprehension can suffer.Learning to comprehend what you read can help you prevent wasting time as well as make you more productive(富有成效的) on the job or at school.The things you already know are important for understanding things you're going to learn.Before you begin reading something on a new topic，think about what you already know about it and how what you are reading might build upon that.Since kindergarten，we've all been told to keep a dictionary nearby when reading，but few of us follow this advice.If you are not absolutely certain of the meaning of a word，look it up.You'll not only make reading easier；you'll also improve your vocabulary.If you are reading especially challenging material，try taking notes.If you writewhile you are reading，reading will become boring and your comprehension will go downhill.Instead，make an outline at the end of each paragraph or sentence.Someone thinks that speed reading is very popular，and certainly has its place.However，from my point of view，it's a terrible idea if you want to learn.Besides，speed reading will cost you more time because you will have to go back and review if you understand what you have read quickly.Focus on quality reading rather than quick reading，and take frequent breaks if you begin to get distracted(注意力分散的)．When reading something boring，it's easy to just read the words without even understanding what they mean.At such times，just find a way to relate to the material.Write down questions，and look up concepts online to get alternative perspectives.Your comprehension will improve and you'll be less likely to need to reread.41．The passage is intended to teach students how to ________.A．form good study habitsB．take notes when reading booksC．improve reading comprehensionD．treat their reading homework properly42．The author suggests that when reading books we should ________.A．refuse to use a dictionaryB．think about what we knowC．pay more attention to new topicsD．practise speed reading first43. According to the passage，what's the author's attitude towards speed reading?A．Curious. B．Positive.C．Unconcerned. D．Opposed.44. What should we do if we come across some boring materials?A．Ignore new words.B．Make every effort to understand it.C．Read it without understanding.D．Ask for help from others.45．In which section of a newspaper is the passage most likely to appear?A．Advertisements. B．Technology.C．Education. D．Entertainment.Ⅳ.信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Unit 4 Pygmalion[美文阅读]Pygmalion EffectA team can do as well as you and the team think they can.This idea is known as “the selffulfilling prophecy(预言)〞．When you believe the team can perform well，in some strange and magical way they can.And similarly，when you believe they can't perform well，they can't.The selffulfilling prophecy is also known as the Pygmalion Effect.This es from a story by Ovid about Pygmalion，who created an ivory statue of his ideal woman.And he immediately fell in love with it.He begged the goddess to breathe life into the statue and make her his own.She granted Pygmalion his wish，the statue came to life and the couple married and lived happily ever after.The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw's play “Pygm alion〞．In Shaw's play，Professor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney flower girl，Eliza Doolittle，into a duchess.But，as Eliza herself points out to Higgins' friend Pickering，it isn't what she learns or does that determines whether she will bee a duchess，but how she's treated.“You see，really and truly，apart form the things anyone can pick up，the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves but how she's treated.I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins，because he always treats me as a flower girl，and always will，but I know I can be a lady to you because you always treat me as a lady，and always will.〞The implication(运用) of the Pygmalion Effect for leaders and managers is massive(巨大的)．It means that the performance of your team depends less on them than it does on you.The performance you get from people is no more or less than what you expect，which means you must always expect the best.As Goethe said，“Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is.Treat a man as he can and should be and he will bee as he can and should be.〞[诱思导学]1.
