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.

(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.

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.

专业英语英国文学与概论期末考试答题及答案
Hamlet—ShakespeareHumanism: broke the tradition of the medieval period. Humanist writers are concerned with worldly subjects rather than strictly religious themes and they glorify human beings, regarding them as measure of all things and most potential in the world.Hamlet is the most representative of Shakespeare‟s creations and the summit of the renaissance drama. It is not a simple revenge play, but a tragedy of humanist ideals crushed by cruel reality. It addresses the fundamental question of the meaning of human existence, with hamlet‟s meditation on life and death at the centre. It portrays the social realities in England at the end of 16th century and the start of the 17th century. For Shakespeare—a Christian—the choice between good and evil represents man‟s basic dilemma; for him, the human are indomitable. Though fate may ultimately win, a man must fight to the death, if necessary, in order to remain the master of his own choices—that ultimately decide if and how his fate defeats him.Paradise lost—John MiltonIambic pentameter in blank verse and including seven parts‟ the creation‟, …the main idea of the poem is the heroic revolt against God‟s authority. In the poems, god is no better than a selfish tyrant. This poem expresses the reactionary forces of his time and shows passionate appeal for freedom. The theme is also about the fall of the man: man‟s disobedience and the loss of Paradise. But having done it, Adam and eve get freedom. Concerned with the social upheavals of the time, Milton defended the English Commonwealth through this book.The English revolution was carried out under a religious cloak. So the English revolution is also called the Puritan revolution, which aimed to make man free.Robinson Crusoe—Daniel DefoeIt is an early tale of European colonial experience. The relationship between Crusoe and Friday is a touchstone for critiques of the cultural representation of colonialism.In Robinson Crusoe, Defoe imagines a true-born Englishman fulfilling his fantasy. Throughout the novel, Defoe makes clear that a man's power over himself and nature depends upon ceaseless labor —this is the secret to the colonial project.Romanticism: the core is individuality, subjectivity and spontaneity. It can be seen as a rejection of the percepts of neo-classicism and some to extent against Enlightenment. It believes in a return to nature and in the innate goodness of humans. They emphasized intuition over reason. Like Wordsworth says, “the good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings”.I wandered lonely as a cloud—William Wordsworth“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” was written by William Wordsworth, the representative poet of the early romanticism.The whole poem contains four stanzas of six lines each. In each stanza, the first line rhymes with the third and the second with the fourth. The stanza then ends with a rhyming couplet. Besides, the lines in the poem are in iambic tetrameter that emphasized the excitement and movement when a lonely heart was integrated into Nature. As a great poet of nature, William Wordsworth had been trying to call human back to nature and enjoy the beauty of spiritual richness by his works, such as this short lyric.A red, red rose—Robert burnsThis is one of the best of Burns‟ love poems. Theme: Burns clearly states and restates the theme: The speaker loves the young lady beyond measure. The only way he can express his love for her is through vivid similes and hyperbolic comparisons.The poem takes the form of the ballad stanza, including quatrains with iambic alternating pentameter and trimester line and with rhymes falling of the 2nd and 4th lines of each stanza. It is also abundant with metaphors, Simile in first stanza, hyperbole in second and third stanza and repetition in the last stanza.Ode to the west wind--Percy Bysshe ShelleyIn iambic pentameter, it consists of five cantos written in terza rima, with each canto of four three-line stanzas (aba, bcb, cdc, ded) and a rhyming couplet.To the poet, the west wind, powerful as it is, is not merely a natural phenomenon. It is a …spirit‟, the “breath of Autumn‟being”that can spread messages of freedom far and wide, that both destroys and preserves the revival in the spring.(the west wind is considered the …destoryer‟ who send leaves to their burial and the preserver who encourage the seed‟ spring.) Shelley fuse in this poem a note of optimism for a promising future for humanity as is shown in the last lines of this poem” when winter comes, can spring be far behind?”When we two parted--George Gordon ByronIt was written in 8-line stanza with no meter but rhymed in the way …abababab‟. In the poem, byron make use of the form of monologue and meditates upon the present and the past and expresses the feelings and emotions of a man who lost his love. The feelings and emotions expressed are sincere and touching. The repetition of …silence and tears‟ makes the poem a whole, emphasizing that his feelings and emotions of the present are as they were in the past.。

Thomas Hardy, living at the turn of the century, is often regarded as a transitional writer. In him we see the influence from both the past and the modern. Tess of the D’Urbervilles is one of his greatest works. Try to discuss the fate of Tess in this work.The discussion about the fate of Tess in Tess of the D’Urbervilles.Tess of the D’Urbervilles is Thomas hardy’s representative work, as a transitional writer, his work reflect the profound changes about the social economic, politic, moral, customs and the tragic fate about the people(especially the fate of women)which caused by the capitalism intrudes England rural towns, it reveals the hypocrisy of bourgeoisie moral, legal and religion.Tess of the D’Urbervilles concentrate on the ‘character and environment. The heroine Tess while clever beauty, diligent and kind, but as a victim of she finally was on the gallows. So what are the reasons? Here we analyze her tragic fate from the following 3 aspects:Firstly, the tragic fate of Tess first comes from the capitalist society.In the furious conflict between individual and environment, Tess's fate is inevitably miserable. Tess lived in the Victorian period as British capitalism intrudes England rural countries. Though she is diligent and kind, clever beautiful girl, but as a laborer, a powerless of agricultural workers without money and social status, naturally will be affected by the capitalist society of oppression and reproach. With the capitalist invasion, those who own a small piece of land and production material of peasants are forced to, and then go bankrupt. Visible, Tess's tragic fate and her economic poverty are closely linked. This is one the social reason.Secondly, unjust laws system is also a factor in Tess tragedy. In capitalist society, the legal system are protect the exploiting class profits while oppress powerless workers. From the story, we knew that Alec is a domineering, do evil young guy, he was protected by the injustice law while the beautiful and diligent Tess was killed, it shows the underclass counteractions people in society is impossible to get treated fairly.Thirdly, Tess's destruction is closed linked with the hypocrisy of religion .Alec's characters, revealed the hypocrisy of religion. He is on the business, is a bourgeois upstarts and carnal "person". He set a trap to seducea Tess, but using the biblical allusions to blame them. Later he was turnedinto a good cleric. Who advised Visible, in capitalist society, religion isthe reactionary ruling class anesthesia, cheating, and a fool of working people.Marx once said: "with artificial Christian." Religion is bourgeois reproach and defiled women provided theoretical basis.Fourthly, Tess is also a victim of the bourgeoisie hypocritical moral. From the story, Angel is the representative of bourgeoisie hypocritical moral, though he is a liberal thought of intellectuals, but he has a deep psychological ingrained in traditional ethics and morality. his own dissolute behavior was forgived by Tess, but he did not forgive Tess on the situation the fault is not Tess, but Alec. He has not a little sympathy on Tess, which force Tess came back to Alec.Fifthly, Tess’s tragic is also related by her own personality.Tess is a brand-new woman created by hardy, she has dual personality. On the one hand, she dares to against the hypocrisy of traditional moral and religious, On the other hand, cannot completely get rid of the traditional ethics of their own. Because Tess was born in a peasant family, remaining some of the old farmer on moral and destiny view that she appeared when traditional moral against the weak side. when she treated with the secular public opinion, she also think herself is guilty. Tess, as a certain historical period of the individual, must be particular historical period of social consciousness and moral concepts, she thought and action are bound by age and social consciousness.From above all, the tragedy of Tess have social reason also have her own personality reason, but all these reasons are directly linked with the bourgeoisie society, it’s the kinds of reflects of the society. Her destroy is inevitably in the bourgeoisie society.6. Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe is a very influential novel in the enlightenment period of the English literature. It depicts Crusoe as a figure of middle class who makes success through his hard work. Discuss the social reason why the novel becomes so successful.Robinson Crusoe is supposedly based on the real adventure of an Alexander Selkirk who once stayed alone on the uninhabited island Huan Fernandez for five years. Factually, the story is an imagination. In the story the author describes inviting plots of Robinson Crusoe who survives and lives quite well on an island after the shipwreck. In Robinson Crusoe, Defoe traces the growth of Robinson Crusoe from a naïve and artless youth into a shrewd and hardened man, tempered by numerous trials in his eventful life. The realistic account of the successful struggle of Robinson here is a real hero: a typical eighteenth century English middle-class man, with a great capacity for work, inexhaustible energy, courage, patience and persistence in overcoming obstacles, in struggling against the hostile natural environment. He is the very prototype of the empire builder, the pioneer colonist. Robinson Crusoe is an adventure story in the spirit of the time. So when it was published, people all liked that story, and it became an immediate success.7. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen explored three kinds of motivations of marriage the middle-class people had in the second half of the 18th century. Say something about this novel and try to make a discussion about the three kinds of motivations with specific examples from the novel. Make comments on Austen’s attitude towards these motivations.First, there is marriage merely for fortune, money and social rank. This is to be found in Miss Bingley’s pursuit of Darcy, Lady de Bourgh’s intention to marriage between her daughter and Darcy, and in Charlotte Lucas’marriage to Mr.Collins. The snobbery and vanity of the rich and the practicality of the poor gentry women are fully accounted for.The second is the tendency to marry for beauty, attraction and passion regardless of economic conditions or personal merits. This is generally known as Mr.Bennet and Mrs. Bennet who has a beautiful face but an empty head and of their youngest daughter Lydia to the handsome, charming but morally weak and penniless Wickham. The terrible aftermath of such marriage is only too obvious in the marriage of the two generations of the Bennet.Lastly comes the idea marriage, which is a love match with considerations of the lover’s personal merits and economic conditions. Such perfect happinessis to be found in the marriage of Darcy and Elizabeth and that of Mr.Bingley and Jane, although the satisfaction of both the personal and economic conditions like this is really a bit too idealistic.What Jane Austen tries to say is that it is wrong to marry just for money or for beauty, but it is also wrong to marry without consideration of economic conditions. Of the three types, she prefers the the last one. And in the last type, she seems to give her particular preference to the marriage of Darcy and Elizabeth.28. What is the social significance of The Canterbury Tales?The Canterbury Tales has its social significance in several ways. ①It represents the spirit of the rising bourgeoisie people’s right to pursue earthly happiness is affirmed by Chaucer. ②the ideas of humanism are shown in C haucer’s praising of man’s energy ,intellect, wit and love of love. ③Chaucer exposed and satirized the evils of the time. ④the corruption of the church is vigorously attacked. ⑤Chaucer showed sympathy for the poor to some extent. ⑥Chaucer established the language of literature.36.John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress is generally regarded as a religious allegory. Say briefly about thisbook and what does the work symbolically concern? What is the predominant metaphor that is carried on through the whole work? And what is the author’s purpose in writing such a book?A. It concerns the search for spiritual salvation.B. “That life is a journey” is to urge people to abide by Christian doctrines.C. The author’s purpose is to urge people to abide by Christian doctrines and to seek salvation through constant struggles with their own weakness and all kinds of evils.ment on Jane Austen’s characte ristics of her novels.1. Jane Austen is one of the realistic novelists. She drew vivid and realistic pictures ofeveryday life of the country society in her novels.2. Jane Austen’s main concern is about human beings in their personal relations, human beingswith their families and neighbors. Stories of love and marriage provide the framework for all her novels and in them woman are always taken as the major characters.3. Jane Austen’s work has a very narrow literary field. She confines herself to small countryparishes, whose simple country people become the characters of her novels, but within her own field, she is unrivaled.4. Her novels show a wealth of humor, wit and delicate satire. Her plots are straight-forward.There is little action. Her characters are like real living creatures, with faults and virtues mixed as they are in real life. Jane Austen is successful in the employment of irony and frequent use of witty and delightful dialogues.。

英语文学期末考试卷答案
Question 1: Short Answer Questions (30 points)1. What is the significance of the setting in "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald?- The setting in "The Great Gatsby" is crucial as it reflects the 1920s American society, characterized by the Roaring Twenties and the contrast between the wealthy East Egg and the struggling West Egg. It also serves as a backdrop for the themes of the American Dream, class distinction, and the moral decay of the era.2. Describe the role of the supernatural in "Dracula" by Bram Stoker.- The supernatural elements in "Dracula" are central to the novel's horror and suspense. The vampire, Dracula, is a creature of the night, feeding on the blood of humans, which adds an eerie and terrifying dimension to the narrative. These elements also serve to heighten the suspense and the horror, making the novel a classic of the Gothic genre.3. What is the theme of love in "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare?- The theme of love in "Romeo and Juliet" is complex and multifaceted. It explores the intensity, passion, and tragedy of love, as well as the societal constraints that can hinder or destroy it. The love between Romeo and Juliet is both romantic and tragic, highlighting thedestructive power of forbidden love and the consequences of young passion.Question 2: Essay Question (40 points)Write an essay on the theme of identity in "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. Discuss how Scout Finch's journey of self-discovery reflects the broader issues of racial identity and moral growth in the novel.In Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," the theme of identity is a central thread that runs throughout the narrative. Scout Finch's journey of self-discovery is a microcosm of the broader issues of racialidentity and moral growth that the novel explores. Scout's development from a curious and innocent child to a young woman with a deepunderstanding of the complexities of human nature is a testament to the transformative power of empathy and knowledge.From the beginning, Scout is characterized by her innocent and questioning nature. She is intrigued by the mysteries of her father, Atticus Finch, and the people of Maycomb. However, as the story progresses, Scout's curiosity turns into a quest for understanding. She begins to question the racial prejudices and moral inconsistencies she observes in her society. Through her interactions with characters like Boo Radley, Tom Robinson, and her own father, Scout learns about the human capacity for both goodness and cruelty.Scout's journey of self-discovery is closely tied to the issue of racial identity. The novel is set in the deeply segregated South during the 1930s, a time when racial discrimination was pervasive. Scout's realization that she, too, is part of a system that dehumanizes othersis a pivotal moment in her development. Her friendship with Calpurnia, the Finch family's black maid, and her interaction with the black community in Maycomb, including the African American men who attend church with her father, challenge her preconceived notions about race and identity.Furthermore, Scout's moral growth is reflected in her understanding of justice and empathy. The trial of Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, is a pivotal moment in the novel.Scout's initial belief in the innocence of Tom is shattered as she witnesses the injustice and prejudice inherent in the legal system. This experience forces her to confront the moral complexities of her world and to recognize the importance of empathy and understanding.In conclusion, Scout Finch's journey of self-discovery in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a powerful exploration of identity. Through her experiences and interactions with the diverse characters in Maycomb, Scout learns about the complexities of racial identity, moral growth, and the importance of empathy. Her journey serves as a mirror to the broader issues of identity and morality that the novel addresses, making it a timeless and powerful piece of literature.Question 3: Multiple Choice Questions (20 points)1.
