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.

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.

For each of the quotations listed below give the name of the author and the title of the work from which it is taken and then briefly interpret it:1. Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of may,And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shinesAnd often is his gold complexion dimmed;2. The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,The lowing herd win d slowly o’er the lea,The plowman homeward plods his weary way,And leaves the world to darkness and to me.3 Tyger! Tyger! Burning brightIn the forests of the night,What immortal hand or eyeCould frame thy fearful symmetry?4. That’s my Duchess painted on the wall,Looking as if she were alive. I callThat piece of wonder now: Fra Pandolf’s handsWorked busily a day, and there she stands.5. I will arise and go now, for always night and dayI hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,I hear it in the deep heart’s core.6. Her narrative ended; even its re-assertions and secondary explanations were done. Tess'svoice throughout had hardly risen higher than its opening tone; there had been no exculpatory phrase of any kind, and she had not wept.But the complexion even of external things seemed to suffer transmutation as her announcement progressed. The fire in the grate looked impish - demoniacally funny, as if it did not care in the least about her strait. The fender grinned idly, as if it too did not care. The light from the water-bottle was merely engaged in a chromatic problem. All material objects around announced their irresponsibility with terrible iteration. And yet nothing had changed since the moments when he had been kissing her; or rather, nothing in the substance of things.But the essence of things had changed.7. A book lay spread on the sill before her, and the scarcely perceptible wind fluttered itsleaves at intervals. I believe Linton had laid it there: for she never endeavoured to divert herself with reading, or occupation of any kind, and he would spend many an hour in trying to entice her attention to some subject which had formerly been her amusement. She was conscious of his aim, and in her better moods endured his efforts placidly, only showing their uselessness by now and then suppressing a wearied sigh, and checking him at last with the saddest of smiles and kisses. At other times, she would turn petulantly away, and hide her face in her hands, or even push him off angrily; and then he took care to let her alone, for he was certain of doing no good.8. The afternoon came on wet and somewhat misty: as it waned into dusk, I gegan to feel thatwe were getting very far indeed from Gateshead: we ceased to pass through towns; the country changed, great grey hills heaved up aound the horizon: as twilight deepened, we descended a valley, dark with wood, and long after night had overclouded the prospect, I heard a wild wind rushing amongst trees.Lulled by the sound, I at last dropped asleep; I had not long slumbered when the sudden cessation of motion awoke me; the coach- door was open, and a person like a servant was standing at it: I saw her face and dress by the light of the lamps.9. It was towards the close of his first term in the college when he was in number six. Hissensitive nature was still smarting under the lashes of an undivined and squalid way of life. His soul was still disquieted and cast down by the dull phenomenon of Dublin. He had emerged from a two years' spell of revery to find himself in the midst of a new scene, every event and figure of which affected him intimately, disheartened him or allured and, whether alluring or disheartening, filled him always with unrest and bitter thoughts. All the leisure which his school life left him was passed in the company of subversive writers whose jibes and violence of speech set up a ferment in his brain before they passed out of it into his crude writings.The essay was for him the chief labour of his week and every Tuesday, as he marched from home to the school, he read his fate in the incidents of the way, pitting himself against some figure ahead of him and quickening his pace to outstrip it before a certain goal was reached or planting his steps scrupulously in the spaces of the patchwork of the pathway and telling himself that he would be first and not first in the weekly essay.10. What a lark! What a plunge! For so it had always seemed to her, when, with a little squeak ofthe hinges, which she could hear now, she had burst open the French windows and plunged at Bourton into the open air. How fresh, how calm, stiller than this of course, the air was in the early morning; like the flap of a wave; the kiss of a wave; chill and sharp and yet (for a girl of eighteen as she then was) solemn, feeling as she did, standing there at the open window, that something awful was about to happen; looking at the flowers, at the trees with the smokewinding off them and the rooks rising, falling; standing and looking until Peter Walsh said, “Musing among the vegetables?”— was that it?—“I prefer men to cauliflowers”— was that it?He must have said it at breakfast one morning when she had gone out on to the terrace — Peter Walsh. He would be back from India one of these days, June or July, she forgot which, for his letters were awfully dull; it was his sayings one remembered; his eyes, his pocket-knife, his smile, his grumpiness and, when millions of things had utterly vanished — how strange itwas!— a few sayings like this about cabbages. (From Mrs Dalloway)8. What a lark! What a plunge!

Neo-classicism is revival of interest in the old classical works.According to theneo-classicists,all forms of literature werw to be modeled after the classical works of Greek and Roman writers and those of the contemporary French ones.They believed that the artisical ideals should be judged in terms of its service to humanity.This belief led them to seek proption,unity,harmony and grace in literary expression.Thus a polite,urbane,witty and intellectual art developed.2. The Waste Land has been hailed as a landmark and a model of the 20th century English poetry,comparable to Wordsworth’s Lyrical Ballads. With bold technical innovations in versification andstyle,the poem not only presents a panorama of physical disorder and spiritual desolation in the modern Western world, but also reflects the prevalent mood of disillusionment and despair of a wholepost-war generation. The poem is about the spiritualbreakup of a modern civilization in which humanlife has lost its meaning, significance and purpose. It is regarded as a reflection of the 20th century people’s disillusionment and frustration in a sterile and futile society.3. blank verse refers to unrhymed verse of iambic pentametre.4.Heroic couplet refers to two lines of iambic pentameter rhyming with each other.5. Sonnet is a lyric poem almost invariably of 14 lines and following one of several set rhyme-schemeThere are 2 widely accepted rhyme-schemes:Italian (Petrarchan) sonnet and English (Shakespearean)sonnet.The former consists of a octave(abbaabba) and a sestet (cdecde,cdccdc or cdedce).The English is made up of 3 quatrains and an heroic couplet.It rhymes in ababcdcdefefgg.6. It is a literary movement in the 2nd half of the 19th century and the beginning decade of the 20thcentury as a reaction to Romanticism.The realists holds that literature should be faithful to andwrite about the possibilty of reality.They on one hand expose the social problems,on the other hand,try to find solutions to the problems.Most of them are democratic social reformers.7. Dramatic monologue refers to a lyrical poem which reveals “a soul in action” through the conversation of one character in a dramatic situation. The character is speaking to an identifiablebut silent lis tener at the dramatic moment of the speake r’s life.III.1.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is one of the most remarkable playwrightsand poets the world hasever known.With his 38 plays,154 sonnets and 2 long poems,he has established his giant position inworld literature.The influence of Shakespeare upon British literature is hard to measure and it isnot exegerated to say that all the writers after him have been influenced by him directly or indirectly.A. As a humanist, Shakepeare enthuiastically eulogizes humanity and writes in the spirit of Renaissance.He was against feudal tyranny ,religious persecution,racial discrimination,social inequality and the corrupting influence of money and gold.B. Shakespeare holds that literature should be a combination of beauty, kindness and truth,and shouldreflect nature and reality;he believes that only this kind of literature can reach immortality.C.Shakespeare is a great master of the English language2. This poem is perhaps the most anthologized poem in English literature, and one that takes usto the core of Wordsworth’s poetic beliefs. In his eyes, nature is sublime and sacred and willexert a lasting influence upon a soul. The poem is a record of his sublime communion with nature .3. This novel is one of the best and most popular work by Hardy. It is a fierce attack on the hypocritical morality of the bourgeois society and the capitalist invasion into the country and destruction of the English peasantry towands the end of the century.Tess, as a pure woman, broughtup with the traditional idea of womanly virtues, is abused and destroyed by both Alec and Angel,agents of the destructive force of the society. And the misery, the poverty and the heartfelt painshe suffers and her final tragedy give rise to a most bitter cry of protest and denunciation of the society.4. The Renaissance marks a transition from the medieval to the modern world.Generally ,it refers to the period between the 14th and mid-17th centuries.It first started in Italy,with the flowering of painting,sculpture and literature.From Italy the movement went to embrace the rest of Europe.The Renaissance ,which means rebirth or revival,is actually a movement stimulated by a series of historical events,such as the rediscovery of ancient Roman and Greek culture,the new discovery in geography and astrology,the religious reformation and the economic expansion.The Renaissance,therefore,in essence ,is a historical period in which the European humanist thinkers and scholars made attempts to get rid of those old feudalist ideas in medieval Europe,to introduce new ideas that expressed the interest of the rising bourgeeoisie,and to recover the purity of early church from the corruption of Roman Catholic Church.5. The poem is Eliot’s most striking early achievement. It presents the meditation of an aging young man over the business of proposing marriage.The poem is in a form of dramatic monologue, suggesting an ironic contrast between a pretended “love song”and a confession of the speaker’s incapability facing up to love and to life in a sterile upper-class world. Prufrock, the protagonist of poem, is neurotic, self-important, illogical and incapable of action. He is a kind of tragic figure caught in asense of defeated idealism and tortured by unsatisfied desires. The poem is intensely anti-romantic with visual images of hard, gritty objects and evasive hellish atmosphere.6. (main points)He reveals his sympathy for the poor woman in rural area.7. In his novels he writes about the dehumanization brought about by the industrial civilization and he believes that individual’s psychological development lies in the sexual impulse—Life Force. Consequently, he frequently touches upon the sexual relationship between man and woman in most of hios novels.8. see textbook.。

(完整word版)英国文学选读课后答案
英国文学选读Poems:Hamlet (Act 3, Scene 1, lines 55-86)生存或毁灭, 这是个必答之问题是否应默默的忍受坎苛命运之无情打击, 还是应与深如大海之无涯苦难奋然为敌, 并将其克服。
死即睡眠, 它不过如此!倘若一眠能了结心灵之苦楚与肉体之百患, 那么, 此结局是可盼的! 死去, 睡去...但在睡眠中可能有梦, 啊, 这就是个阻碍: 当我们摆脱了此垂死之皮囊,在死之长眠中会有何梦来临? 它令我们踌躇, 使我们心甘情愿的承受长年之灾,否则谁肯容忍人间之百般折磨, 如暴君之政、骄者之傲失恋之痛、法章之慢贪官之侮、或庸民之辱假如他能简单的一刃了之? 还有谁会肯去做牛做马, 终生疲於操劳默默的忍受其苦其难, 而不远走高飞, 飘於渺茫之境倘若他不是因恐惧身後之事而使他犹豫不前?此境乃无人知晓之邦, 自古无返者进入我们无法知晓的地域所以,「理智」能使我们成为懦夫而「顾虑」能使我们本来辉煌之心志变得黯然无光, 像个病夫再之, 这些更能坏大事, 乱大谋, 使它们失去魄力。
Hamlet P81. Why is sleep so frightening, according to Hamlet, since it can “end” the heartache and the thousand natural shocks”?Nobody can predict what he will dream of after he falls asleep. Death means the end of life, you may go to or unknown world and you can’t comeback. If he dies, Hamlet’s can't realize his will. Though “sleep” can end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks, it is a state of mind. Hamlet didn’t know at all. He is frightened by the possible suffering in the long “dream”. He can’t predict what will happen in the sleep, may be good may be evil.2. Why would people rather bear all the sufferings of the world instead of choosing death to get rid of them, according to Hamlet?Death is so mysterious that nobody knows what death will bring to us. Maybe bitter sufferings, great pains, heartbreaking stories…Because people hold the same idea "to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death-the undiscovered country, form whose bourn no traveler returns-puzzle the will, and make us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of?” People also are frightened by the myths in another world after death.3. What, after all, makes people lose their determination to take action? Please explain in relation to the so-called hesitation of Hamlet.Conscience and over-considerations. He wants to revenge, but doesn’t know how. He wants to kill his uncle, but finds it too risky. He lives in despair and wants to commit suicide. However, he knows if he dies, nobody will comfort his father’s ghost. He is in face of great dilemma. They don’t know the result after their taking the action. Such as Ham let, he doesn’t know what would happen if he kills hisuncle or kills himself. So Hamlet was hesitated.Sonnet 18 P15我怎么能够把你来比作夏天？你不独比它可爱也比它温婉：狂风把五月宠爱的嫩蕊作践，夏天出赁的期限又未免太短：天上的眼睛有时照得太酷烈，它那炳耀的金颜又常遭掩蔽：被机缘或无常的天道所摧折，没有芳艳不终于雕残或销毁。
