高级英语复习资料Ⅰ、Paraphrase(3`×5=15`)①第五课,课后习题1. This dreadful scene makes all human endeavors to advance and improve their lot appear as a ghastly, saddening joke.2. The country itself is pleasant to look at, despite the sooty dirt spread by the innumerable mills in this region.3. The model they followed in building their houses was a brick standing upright. / All the houses they built looked like bricks standing upright.4. These brick-like houses were made of shabby, thin wooden boards and their roofs were narrow and had little slope.5. When the brick is covered with the black soot of the mills it takes on the color of a rotten egg.6. Red brick, even in a steel town, looks quite respectable with the passing of time. / Even in a steel town, old red bricks still appear pleasing to the eye.7. I have given Westmoreland the highest award for ugliness after having done a lot of hard work and research and after continuous praying.8. They show such fantastic and bizarre ugliness that, in looking back, they become almost fiendish and wicked./ When one looks back at these houses whose ugliness is so fantastic and bizarre, one feels they must be the work of the devil himself.9. It is hard to believe that people built such horrible houses just because they did not know what beautiful houses were like.10. People in certain strata of American society seem definitely to hunger after ugly things; while in other less Christian strata, people seem to long for things beautiful.11. These ugly designs, in some way that people cannot understand, satisfy the hidden and unintelligible demands of this type of mind.12. The place where this psychological attitude is found is the United States.②第二课,课后习题1)Serious-looking men were so absorbed in theirconversati on tParaphrasehat they seemed not to pay any attention to

uckleberry Finn,which are generally acknowledged to be his greatest works.Huck Finn is noted for his simple a nd pleasant journey through his boyhood which seems et ernal and Tom Sawyer is famous for his free roam of the country and his adventure in one summer whichseems never to end.The youth and summer are eternal because this is the only age and time we knew the m.They are frozen in that age or season for all read ers.2)In his new profession he could meet people of all kinds.His work on the boat made it possible for him to meet a large variety of people.It is a world of all types of characters.3)All would reappear in his books,written in the colo rful language that he seemed to be able to remember and record as accurately as a phonograph.4)Steamboat decks were filled with people of pioneering spirit(people who explored and prepared the way forothers)and also lawless people or social outcasts such as hustlers,gamblers and thugs.5)He took a horse-drawn public vehicle and went west to Nevada,following the flow of people in the Gold Rush.6)Mark Twain began working hard to became well kno wn locally as a newspaper reporter and humorist.7)Those who came pioneering out west were energetic,courageous and reckless people,because those who stayed at home were slow,dull and lazy people.8)That's typical of California.9)If we relaxed,rested or stayed away from all this crazy struggle for success occasionally and kept the darin gand enterprising spirit,we would be able to remain stro ng and healthy and continue to produce great thinkers. 10)At the end of his life,he lost the last bit of hi s positive view of man and the world.④第四课,课后习题1.“Don’t worry,young man,well do a few things t o outwit the prosecution.”;or“Don’t worry,young m an,we have some clever and unexpected tactics and we will surprise them in the trial.”2.The case had come down upon me unexpectedly and violently;I was suddenly engulfed by the whole affair.3.I was the last one to expect that my case would grow(or develop)into one of the most famous trials i n U.S.History.4.“That’s a completely inappropriate jury,too ignorant and partial .”.5.Today the teachers are put on trial because they te ach scientific theory;soon the newspapers and magazines will not be allowed to express new ideas,to spread knowledge of science.6.“It is doubtful whether man has reasoning power,”said Darrow sarcastically and scornfully.7....accused Bryan of demanding that a life or death struggle be fought between science and religion.8.People had to pay in order to have a look at the ape and to consider carefully whether apes and human s could have a common ancestry.9.Darraow surprised everyone by asking for Bryan as a witness for Scopes which was a brilliant idea.10.Darrow had gotten the best of Bryan,who looked helplessly lost and pitiable as everyone ignored him and rushed past him to congratulate Darrow.When I saw this,I felt very sorry for Bryan.⑤第三课,课后习题1.Ogilvie spat out the words with great contempt and sudden rudeness,throwing away his pretended politeness.2.When they find who killed the mother and the kid and then ran away,they will deal out the maximum punishment,and they will not care who will be punished in this case or what their social position is.3.The Duchess was supported by her arrogance coming from parents of noble families who belonged to the n obility for more than three hundred years.So she did not give in easily.4.The Duchess was a good actress and she appeared so firm about their innocent that,for a brief moment, Ogilvie felt unsure if his assumption about them was right.But the moment was very short and passed quickl y.5.The house detective was in no hurry.He enjoyed hi s cigar and puffed a cloud of blue cigar smoke in a relaxed manner.At the same time,his eyes were fixed disdainfully on the Duchess as if openly daring her to object to his smoking a cigar,as she had done earli er.6.If anybody who stays in this hotel does anything wr ong,improper or unusual,I always get to know about it.There isn’t much that can escape me.7.The Duchess kept firm and tight control of her mind which is working quickly.Here the Duchess is thinking quickly but at the same time keeping her thoughts un der control,not letting them run wild.8.And when they stopped for petrol,as it would be necessary,their speech and manner would reveal their id entity.British English would be particularly noticeable in t he south.9.She mustn’t make any mistakes in her plan,or wa ver in mind and show decision or deal with the situati on carelessly due to small mindedness.In other words, she has to take a big chance,to do something very daring,so she must be bold,resolute and decisive.She has to rise to the occasion.Ⅱ、Vocabulary(1`×15=15`)Ⅲ、General

It wants the whole boat to itself. It goes through the hamper, and gives a c heesy flavour to everything else there. You can’t ell whether you are eating apple-pie or German sausage, or strawberries and cream. It all seems cheese. There is too much odour about cheese.I remember a friend of mine buying a couple of cheeses in Liverpool. Splendid cheeses they were, ripe and mellow, and with a two hundred horsepower scent about them that might have been warranted to carry three miles, and knock a men over at two hundred yards. I was in Liverpool at the time, and my friend said that i f I didn’t mind he would get me to take them back with me to London, as he should not be coming up for a day or two himself, and he did not think the cheese ought to be kept much longer.“Oh, with pleasure, dear boy,” I replied, “with pleasure.”I called for the cheeses, and took them away in a cab. It was a ramshackle affair, dragged along by a knock-kneed, broken-winded somnambulist, which his owner, in a moment of enthusiasm, during conversation, referred to as a horse. I put the cheeses on the top, and we started off at a shamble that would have done credit to the swiftest steam-roller ever built, and all went merry as a funeral bell, until we turned the corner. There, the wind carried a whiff from the cheeses full on to our steed. It woke him up, and with a snort of terror, he dashed off at three miles an hour. The wind still blew in his direction, and before we reached the end of the street he was laying himself out at the rate of nearly four miles an hour, leaving the cripples and stout ladies simplenowhere. It took two porters as well as the driver to hold him in at the station; and I do not think we would have done it, even then, had not one of the men had the presence of mind to put a handkerchief over his nose, and to light a bit of brown paper.I took my ticket, and marched proudly up the platform, with my cheeses, the people falling back respectfully on either side. The train was crowded, and I had to get into a carriage where there were already seven other people. One crusty old gentleman objected, but I got in, notwithstanding; and putting my cheeses upon the rack, squeezed down with a pleasant smile, and said it was a warm day. A few moments passed, and them the old gentleman began to fidget.“Very close in here,” he said.“Quite oppressive,” said the man next to him.And then they both began sniffing, and, at the third sniff, they caught it right on the chest, and rose up without another word and went out. And then a stout lady got up, and said it was disgraceful that a respectable married women should be harried about in this way, and gathered up a bag and eight parcels and went. The remaining four passengers sat on for a while, until a solemn-looking man in the corner who, from his dress and general appearance, seemed to being to the undertaker class, said it put him in mind of a dead baby; and the other three passengers tried to get out of the door at the same time, and hurt themselves.I smiled at the black gentleman, and said I thought we were going to have the carriage to ourselves; and he laughed pleasantly and said that some people made such a fuss over a little thing. But even he grew strangely depressed after we had started, and so, when we reached Crewe, I asked him to come and have a drink. He accepted, and we forced our way into the buffet, where we yelled, and stamped, and waved our umbrellas for a quarter of an hour; and then a young lady came and asked us if we wanted anything.“ What’s yours?” I said, turning to my friend.“I’ll have a half a crown’s worth of brandy, neat, if you please, miss,” he responded. And he went off quietly after he had drunk it and got into another carriage, which Ithought mean.From Crewe I had the compartment to myself, though the train was crowded. As we drew up at the different stations, the people, seeing my empty carriage, would rush for it. “Here y’ are, Maria; come along, plenty of room.” “All right, Tom; we’ll get in here,” they would shout. And they would run along, carrying heavy bags, and fight around the door to get in first. And one would open the door and mount the steps and stagger back into the arms of the man behind him; and they would all come and have a sniff, and then troop off and squeeze into other carriages, or pay the difference and go first.Form Euston I took the cheeses down to my friend’s house. When his wife came into the room she smelt round for an instant. Then she said:“ What is it? Tell me the worst.”I said: “It’s cheeses. Tom bought them in Liverpool, and asked me to bring them up with me.”And I added that I hoped she understood that it had nothing to do with me; and she said that she was sure of that, but that she would speak to Tom about it when he came back.My friend was detained in Liverpool longer than he expected; and three days late, as he hadn’t returned home, his wife called on me. She said: “What did Tom say about those cheeses?”I replied that he had directed they were to be kept in a moist place, and that nobody was to touch them.She said: “Nobody’s likely to touch them. Had he smelt them?”I thought he had, and added that he seemed greatly attached to them.“You think he would be upset,” she queried, “if I give a man a sovereign to take them away and bury them?”I answered that I thought he would never smile again.An idea struck her. She said: “Do you mind keeping them for him? Let me send them round to you.”“Madam,” I replied, “for myself I like the smell of cheeses, and the journey theother day with them from Liverpool I shall ever look back upon as a happy ending to a pleasant holiday. But, in this world, we must consider others. The lady under whose roof I have the honour of residing is a widow, and, for all I know, possible an orphan too. She ahs a strong, I may say, an eloquent objection to being what she terms ‘put upon’. The presence of your husband’s cheeses in her house she would, I instinctively feel, regard as a ‘put upon’, and it shall never be said that I put upon the widow and the orphan.”“Very well, then,” said my friend’s wife, rising, “al l I have to say is that I shall take the children and go to a hotel until those cheeses are eaten. I decline to live any longer in the same house with them.”She kept her word, leaving the place in charge of the charwoman. The hotel bill came to fifteen guineas; and my friend, after reckoning everything up, found that the cheeses had cost him eight-and-six pence a pound. He said he dearly loved a bit of cheeses, but it was beyond his means, so he determined to get rid of them. He threw them into the canal; but had to fish them out again, as the bargemen complained. They said it made them feel quite faint. And, after that, he took them one dark night and left them in the parish mortuary. But the coroner discovered them, and make a fearful fuss. He said it was a plot to deprive him of his living by waking up the corpses.My friend got rid of them, at last, by taking them down to a seaside town and burying them on the beach. It gained the place quite reputation. Visitors said they had never noticed before how strong the air was, and weak-chested and consumptive people used to throng there for years afterwards.A.Try to find out the most possible theme for this article.( 5 points)1.The odour of cheese is terrible.2.The cheese caused lots of trouble to the author and his friends.3.Cheese attempts to engage far more human attention than it reallydeserves.4.The interesting experience of the narrator as being seemingly totally unaware of the havoc caused by the cheeses.B.Paraphrase: explain the following sentences in your own words.(9 points, 3 points each)1.“Very close in here,” he said.2.And he went off quietly … and got into another carriage, which I thought mean.3. . … the people falling back respectfully on either side.C.

The author finally agreed to keep the cheese for a few days for his friend, Tom..4. The cheeses were finally eaten by my friend.D. What does “put upon” in this article mean?( 5 points)1. give something to somebody to keep2. take advantage of someone3. take something away from someoneE. Answer the following questions according to the article. (8 points, 4 points each)1. How could the author have the whole compartment to himself when the train was so crowded? What happened to those who had intended to get into this carriage?2. What was the reaction of the wife of the author’s friend when she received the cheeses?Read the following writing and then answer the questions.Horseman in the SkyBy Ambrose BierceOne sunny afternoon in the autumn of the year 1861, a soldier lay in a clump of laurel, by the side of a road in western Virginia. He lay at full length upon his stomach, his feet resting upon the toes, his head upon the left forearm. His extended right hand loosely grasped his rifle. But for a slight rhythmic movement of the cartridge box at the back of his belt he might have been thought to be dead. He was asleep at his post of duty. If detected he would be dead shortly afterward, death being the just and legal penalty for his crime.The clump of laurel in which the criminal lay was in the angle of a road which went zigzagging downward through the forest. At a second angle in the road was a large flat rock, jutting out northward, overlooking the deep valley from which the road ascended. The rock capped a high cliff; a stone dropped from its outer edge would have fallen sheer downward one thousand feet to the tops of the pines. The angle where the soldier lay was on the same cliff. Had he been awake it might well have made him giddy to look below.The country was wooded everywhere except at the bottom of the valley to the northward, where there was a small meadow, through which flowed a stream scarcely visible form the valley’s r im. This open ground looked hardly larger than an ordinary backyard but was really several acres in extent. Its green was more vivid than that of the enclosing forest. Away beyond it rose a similar line of giant cliffs. The valley, indeed, from this point of observation seemed entirely shut in, and one could but have wondered how the road had found a way into it.No country is so wild and difficult but men will make it a theater of war’ concealedin the forest at the bottom of that military rattrap in which half a hundred men in possession of the exits mi8ght have starved an army to submission, lay five regiments of Federal infantry. They had marched all the previous day and night and were resting. At nightfall they would take to the road again, climb to the place where their unfaithful sentinel now slept, and descending the other slope of the ridge, fall upon a camp in the rear of it. In case of failure, their position would be perilous in the extreme; and fail they surely would, should accident or vigilance apprise the enemy of the movement.The sleeping sentinel in the clump of laurel was a young Virginian named Carter Druse. He was the son of wealthy parents. His home was but a few miles from where he now lay. One morning he had risen from the breakfast table and said, quietly but gravely: “ Father, a Union regiment has arrived at Grafton. I am going to join it.”The father lifted his head, looked at the son a moment in silence, and replied: “Well, go sir, and whatever may occur, do what you concei ve to be your duty. Virginia, to which you are a traitor, must get on without you. Should we both live to the end of the war, we will speak further of the matter. Your mother, as the physician has informed you, is in a most critical condition; at the best she cannot be with us longer than a few weeks, but that time is precious. It would be better not to disturb her.”So Carter Druse, bowing to his father, who returned the salute with a stately courtesy, left the home of his childhood. By conscience and courage, devotion and daring, he soon commended himself to his fellows and his officers; and it was to these qualities and to some knowledge of the country that he owed his selection for his present duty at the extreme outpost. Nevertheless, fatigue had been stronger than resolution, and he had fallen asleep. What good or bad angel came in a dream, to rouse him, who shall say? He quietly raised his arm and looked between the masking branches of the laurels, instinctively closing his right hand about the stock of his rifle. His first feeling was a keen artistic delight. On the cliff —motionless at the extreme edge of the rock and sharply outlined against the sky —was a statue of impressive dignity. The figure of a man sat on the figure of a horse, straight and soldierly, but with the repose of a god carved in marble. The gray uniform harmonizedwith its background, softened and subdued by the right hand grasping it at the “grip”; the left hand, holding the bridle rein, was invisible. The face of the rider, turned slightly away, showed only an outline of temple and beard; he was looking downward to the bottom of the valley.For an instant Druse had a strange feeling that he had slept to the end of the war and was looking upon a noble work of art. The feeling was dispelled by a slight movement of the horse which had drawn its body slightly backward from the verge; the man remained of the situation, Druse now brought the butt of his rifle against his cheek by cautiously pushing the barrel forward through the bushes and, glancing through the sights, covered a vital spot on the horseman’s breast. A touch upon the trigger and all would have been well with Carter Druse. At that instant the horse man turned his head and looked in the direction of his concealed foe— seemed to look into his face, into his eyes.Carter Druse grew pale; he shook in every limb, turned faint. His hand fell away form his weapon, his head slowly dropped until his face rested on the leaves in which he lay.It was not for long; in another moment his face was raised form earth, his hands resumed their places on the rifle, his forefinger sought the trigger; mind, heart, and eyes were clear, conscience and reason sound. Eh could not hope to capture that enemy; to alarm him would but send him dashing to his camp. The duty of the alarm him would but send him dashing to his camp. The duty of the soldier was plain: the man must be shot dead from ambush— without warning. But no— there is a hope; he may have discovered nothing— perhaps he is but admiring the landscape. If permitted, he may turn and ride carelessly away. It may well be that his fixity of attention …. Druse turned his head and looked downward. He saw creeping across the green meadow a sinuous line of blue figures and horses—some foolish commander was permitting his soldiers to water their beasts in the open, in plain view from a dozen summits!Druse withdrew his eyes from the valley and fixed them again upon the man and horse in the sky, and again it was through the sights of his rifle. But this time his aimwas at the horse. In his memory rang the words of his father at their parting: “Whatever may occur, do what you conceive to be your duty.” He was calm now; not a tremor affected any muscle of his body; his breathing, until suspended in the act of taking aim, was regular and slow.He fired.After firing his shot, private Carter Druse reloaded his rifle and resumed his watch. Ten minutes had hardly passed when a Federal sergeant crept cautiously to him on hands and knees. Druse neither turned his head nor looked at him.“Did you fire?” the sergeant whispered.“Yes.”“At what?”“A horse. It was standing on yonder rock — pretty far our. You see it is no longer there. It went over the cliff.” The man’s face was white, but h e showed no other sign of emotion. Having answered, he turned away his eyes and said no more.The sergeant did not understand. “See here, Druse,” he said, after a moment’s silence, “it’s no use making a mystery. I order you to report. Was there anybody on the horse?”“Yes.”“Well?”“My father.”The sergeant slowly rose to his feet and walked away.A.Answer the following questions?(5 points, 2 points for 1, 3 points for 2)1.Why did he shift his aim from the breast of the horseman to the horse?2.“Bu t for a slight rhythmic movement of the cartridge box at the back of his belt, he might have been thought to be dead.” Was the soldier dead or alive? How do you know that he was alive?B.Paraphrase.(15 points, 3 points each)1.No country is so wild and difficult but men will make it a theatre of war.2.Nevertheless, fatigue had been stronger than resolution, and he had fallen asleep.3.For an instant Druse had a strange feeling that he had slept to the end of the war…4.
