It is like our May.•How does the poet answer the question he puts forth in the first line?Thee is more beautiful than summer.•What makes the poet think that “thou” can be more fair than summer and immortal?Because humanism is more eternal than summer and immortal.•What figures of speech are used in this poem?Simile, metaphor, personification, oxymoron and so on .•What is the theme of the poem?Love conquers all, Beauty lives on.2. Thomas Nashe Spring•Read the poem carefully, pay attention to those image- bearing words, and see how many images the poet created in the poem and what sense impressions you can get from those images.There is “Blooms each thing, maids dance in a ring, the pretty birds do sing, the palm and may make country houses gay, Lambs frisk' and play, the shepherds pipe all day, And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay, The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet, Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit, In every street these tunes bur ears do greet!”The “Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit,”impressions me most because of the harmony of the people’s relationship.•Can you point out and explain the sound and their musical effect in the poem?In the Poem, each section has four lines, each line has ten syllables ( five tone step ) .

All these metaphors show poet opinion that he will separate from his wife in peace, their love is a scared love, when they away from each other, they will not be hurt by the pain of the separation. He and his wife will not really separate. They care about each other and listen to the other one’s heart, their trust and loyalty makes their love perfect like the circle made by a twin compasses.4.William Blake The Tiger•What is the symbolic meaning of the tiger?The symbol of the Tiger is unclear what it exactly symbolizes, but scholars have hypothesized that the Tiger could be inspiration, the divine, artistic creation, history, the sublime, or vision itself.

He can also be very serious. The god is someone who can’t be truly understood by human beings.5.Robert Burns A Red, Red Rose•How dose the narrator in the love song express his love?In stanza 1, the narrator presents two similes, the first comparing his love to a rose and the second comparing his love to a melody.In stanza 2, the narrator addresses the young lady as bonnie. In the last line of the stanza, he presents hyperbole, a figure of speech that exaggerates.In stanza 3, the man promises eternal love for her.In stanza 4, the poet vows to love her however far he may go.•Why is this poem so touching to the readers?Because this poem professes the poet’s true love for his beloved girl, and uses the mentioned above to touch the readers.6.William Wordsw orth I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud•What does the poet see?He sees some daffodils.•What is the poet’s mood before he sees the daffodils?Vacant and pensive.•What is the poet’s mood after he sees the daffodils?He is very pleasant.•How does the magical change occur?Those daffodils show a fantastic picture to the poet, and the poet has been deeply affected by the scene, and his mood changes.•What is the theme of the poem?

Do you agree or not with the poet’s view that “Success is counted sweetest by those who ne’er succeed”?The person who best understands the meaning of success is the person who fails•What sort of feelings does the poet show toward the victor and the defeated?The poet shows her awareness of the complicated truths of human desire.Success can be comprehended by someone who need it; the defeated, dying man understand victory more clearly than the victorious army does.(2)Because I could not stop for Death (712)•How many people are there in the carriage?

But in fact,it's symbolism,the 'woods' stands for the nature,the 'village' stands for the human world, 'horse' for the animal world. The poem representsa moment of relaxation from the burdensome journey of life, an almostaesthetic enjoyment and appreciation of natural beauty which is wholesome and restorative against the chaotic existence of modern man.•Why did he later decide to go?As the last sentence said 'But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep.'His 'horse' shake the bell to ask if they should go,which is actually a symbol of vitality, urges him to go. He lives in the real life, and he has his own obligation "promise to keep',he hasn't achieve it, so he must go on his trip,leave the beautiful scene.Though the scene is so amazing,he has to have the real life.Though the real life is so hard,he must back to it,and reach his goal. One leaves no regrets after he dies, as long as one has reached his goal.•What is your understanding of “promises to keep”?“The promise” could be an obligation or a goal. One cannot die before fulfilling one’s dream. The poet uses “sleep” to represent death, just as we usually do. People have their own dream or goal,it's also the duty for us to finish, we live for ourselves and we make life wonderful by keeping on reaching our goal,no regrets leaves as long as we have reached our goals. 11.

The hairy ape is a comedy of ancient and modern life which shows O'Neill's social concern for the oppressed industrial working class.

The play was created in 20th century when western people suffered unprecedented intellectual crisis. Human beings lost their absolute value, which made people fall into confusion and desperation. Besides, man’s des ire to emotions was ignored in the rapid development of technology. People put existence of individuality first at that time.3. N umerous obstacles and frustrations occur in the way of Yank’s seeking for his position, which reflects survival crisis of most modern people. The more people think about, the clearer people realize about freedom.(注:文档可能无法思考全面,请浏览后下载,供参考。

The city has itscunning wiles, no less than the infinitely smaller and more human tempter.There are large forces which allure with all the soulfulness of expressionpossible in the most cultured human. The gleam of a thousand lights is often aseffective as the persuasive light in a wooing and fascinating eye. Half theundoing of the unsophisticated and natural mind is accomplished by forceswholly superhuman. A blare of sound, a roar of life, a vast array of human hives,appeal to the astonished senses in equivocal terms. Without a counsellor at handto whisper cautious interpretations, what falsehoods may not these things breathe into the unguarded ear!

In the poems in eluding n My Last Duchess11, Brow ning chooses a dramatic moment or a crisis, in which his characters are made to talk about their lives, and about their minds and hearts.

Symbolism is the writing technique of using symbols. A symbol is something that conveys two kinds of meaning; it is simply itself, and it stands for something other than itself. In other words, a symbol is both literal and figurative. People, places, things and even events can be used symbolically.A symbol is a way of telling a story and a way of conveying meaning. The best symbols are those that are believable in the lives of the characters and also convincing as they convey a meaning beyond the literal level of the story. Hawthorne and Melville were the two masters of symbolism. For example, the scarlet letter ,f a lf on Hesters breast can give you symbolic meanings. If the symbol is obscure or ambiguous, then the very obscurity and the ambiguity may also be apt of the meaning of the story.F.1.The name of the author is William Wordsworth, and the title of the literary work is H l Wandered Lonely As a Cloud11.译文如下:我独自游荡,像一朵孤云高高地飞越峡谷和山巅,突然,我望见密密的一群,那是一大片金黄色水仙;它们在那湖边的树荫里,在阵阵微风中舞姿飘逸。

欧美文学试题答案

模拟试题答案库欧美文学部分第一章古代文学一、单项选择题1、A2、D3、A4、A5、C6、C7、A8、D9、A 、10、D 11、D 12、D13、C 14、C 15、B二、多项选择题1、AC2、ACE3、BCD4、ADE5、ACE6、BCE三、名词解释1、荷马时代荷马史诗广泛地反映出希腊社会从原始公社制向奴隶制过渡时期的经济、政治、军事等方面的情况以及当时希腊人民的生活和斗争,对我们具有重要的认识意义。

所以,人们便把这一时期称为希腊历史上的“荷马时代”。

2、荷马式比喻荷马史诗运用了大量的比喻,在描述人物和事件时,大约二百多次使用了从日常生活和自然现象中选取来的比喻,被称为“荷马式比喻”。

这种比喻既能增强读者的现实感,又能收到形象化的效果,克服了过远的审美距离。

四、简答题:1、古希腊神话的特点。

古希腊神话的特色非常鲜明,神话中的众神同人一样,有爱、有恨,好嫉妒,爱虚荣,有时还来到人间同美貌的男女谈情说爱。

他们同凡人唯一不同的地方,就在于他们长生不死,比人的力量大。

2、荷马史诗的认识价值是很高的,它反映出古希腊“荷马时代”的社会状况。

史诗广泛地反映出希腊社会从原始公社制向奴隶制过渡时期的经济、政治、军事等方面的情况以及当时希腊人民的生活和斗争,对我们具有重要的认识意义。

人们至今还把这一时期称为希腊历史上的“荷马时代”。

史诗为我们提供了研究这一时期社会状况的生动材料。

在经济方面,土地仍属公社所有,但土地私有制已在形成,土地占有已出现不平等。

铁器已经开始使用,许多人已开始事业铁器工具。

社会的组织细胞是父系氏族,由氏族结成胞族、部落以至部落联盟。

在政治生活上,实行原始军事民主制,公社最高权利属于民众大会,讨论和战等重大问题。

手工业开始从农业分离,出现了各种手工业者。

随着生产力的发展,阶级分化日益明显。

3、荷马史诗包括两部史诗《伊利亚特》、《奥德赛》。

《伊利亚特》是一部描写战争的英雄史诗,作者以主人公阿喀琉斯的愤怒作为主题,着重歌颂了氏族领袖的英雄品质,一是杀敌制胜所需的勇敢和机智,二是个人利益服从集体利益。
