O Wind, / If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”3. “When in April the sweet showers fall / And pierce through the drought of March to the root, / And all the veins are bathed in liquor of such power / As brings about the engendering of the flower, / When also Zephyrus with his sweet breath / Exhales an air in every grove and heath / Upon the tender shoots, and the young sun / His half-course in the sign of the Ram has run, / And the small fowl are making melody / That sleep away the night with open eye…”4. “For oft, when on my couch I lie / In vacant or in pensive mood, / They flash upon that inward eye / Which is the bliss of solitude; / And then my heart with pleasure fills, / And dances with the daffodils.”5. “North Richmond street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers’ School set the boys free. An uninhabited house of two stories stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbors in a square ground. The other houses of the street, conscious of decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown imperturbable faces.”6. “It was not fear or dread. It was a nothing that he knew too well. It was all a nothing and a man was nothing too. It was only that and light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order. Some lived in it and never felt it but he knew it was already nada y pues nada y pues nada. Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee.”7. “IN Xanadu did Kubla Khan / A stately pleasure-dome decree: / Where Alph, the sacred river, ran / Through caverns measureless to man / Down to a sunless sea. / So twice five miles of fertile ground / With walls and towers were girdled round: / And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills / Where blossom’d many an incense-bearing tree; / And here were forests ancient as the hills, / Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.”8. “April is the cruellest month, breeding / Lilac s out of the dead land, mixing / Memory and desire, stirring / Dull roots with spring rain. / Winter kept us warm, covering / Earth in forgetful snow, feeding / A little life with dried tubers…”9. “Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and blockaded me there with his chair—and then sat down and reeled off the monotonous narrative which follows this paragraph. He never smiled, he never frowned, he never changed his voice from the quiet, gently-flowing key to which he turned the initial sentence, he never betrayed the slightest suspicion of enthusiasm—but all through the interminable narrative there ran a vein of impressive earnestness and sincerity, which showed me plainly that so far from his imagining that there was anything ridiculous or funny about his story, he regarded it as a really important matter, and admired its two heroes as men of transcendent genius in finesse.

2017年南师大外院英语语言学、英美文学考研真题
2017南师大外院英语语言学、英美文学考研近期，有不少同学和朋友问我关于考研的问题（主要是南师大外院英语语言学、英美文学考研）。
在此，我就把我所知道的信息和个人当初的学习方法介绍如下：对于正打算或正在准备中的考研同学：1，到南师研究生网站上（百度里输入“南京师范大学研究生院”），查看最新的硕士研究生招生简章目录和参考书目，根据自己的兴趣选择专业。
如图：以“050201 英语语言文学”专业为例，这个专业包括四个方向“01 英美文学、02 英语语言与文化、03 翻译理论、04 美国文明”，共招39人，每个方向各招多少人不定，根据每年报考人数与录取人数比例而定。
每个方向都是考4门科目，右栏中都有相应的解释。
其中科目一：政治是全国统考；科目二：二外自选（本人考得日语，据说，法语易得高分，但还是应该根据当前所学二外，毕竟有基础）；科目三：外国语言文学基础知识与汉语写作（09年前是综合英语，10-15年改成了翻译与写作，考核的知识点也逐渐发生了变化，需要参考历年真题具体分析和参考），16年主要考核各语种考生应该具备的汉语写作能力和外国语言与文学基础知识，例如重要的外国文学和语言学概念、具有世界影响的重要作家和语言学家等，用汉语命题和作答，这也体现了一点：尽管是学外语的，汉语言也不能太low啊！科目四：英语语言学基础知识与翻译or英语文学基础知识与翻译（考试科目与自己报考的专业课保持一致），就是专业课英语语言学or英美文学（09年前是用英文答卷，10-15年改成汉语答题，16年又是英文作答了。
但是参考书目和考核大纲基本没变，只是答题形式有所变化）。
16年将翻译放在专业课考试中了，具体怎么考的、考的什么还未知，因为真题还没公布。
2，选择了专业后，根据所选专业去买历年真题，以便了解题型、考点和分值，复习时能做到面面俱到、主次分明和重点突出。
南师大本校购买地点：南师大仙林校区笃学楼四楼有卖，二外15元一份，其它10元一份；我也有卖（英语语言学：04年初复试—15年初复试；英美文学：05年初复试—15年初复试；外国语言文学基础知识与汉语写作、翻译：05年—15年（注：翻译与写作10年、16年在考试形式上均进行了改革，但考试内容类似）；日语：05年—15年；法语：05年--15年）。

Section Three：2017年英语语言文学专业英美文学方向部分（70 points）
仅供参考
1. Brief Answer questions (40 points)
Directions: Answer five of the following questions, each in around 100 words.
1) What do you think is the appeal of Robinson Crusoe?
2) What are the basic Puritan beliefs?
3) What is your favorite English Romantic poem, and why do you like it?
4) What is dramatic monologue? Illustrate with an example.
5) Illustrate the theme of illusion in one of Tennessee Williams’ plays.
6) Show the features of modernism in one particular English or American novel.
2. Essay Questions (30 points)
Directions: Answer two of the following questions. Your answer is expected to have a clearly stated and well focused central argument that is well supported with explanation, examples, and other evidence rather than a plot summary.
1) In the poem “Parting at Morning” by Robert Browning,
Round the cape of a sudden came the sea,
And the sun looked over the mountain’s rim:
And straight was a path of gold for him,
And the need of a world of men for me.
How can the sea suddenly in the first two lines come round the cape? Literally? If not literally, how does the observer get that impression? What position of the observer might make such an impression possible? If the image is, at first glance, puzzling, why would the poet use it at all? And why would he start the poem with it?
2) A distinguished professor of phonetics and a devoted intellectual in improving the human race, Henry Higg ins, the protagonist of Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, is a man of many contradictions. Elaborate the paradoxes in Henry Higgins.
3) In J. D. Salinger’s novel, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield suffers from the conflict “between his desire to retain the relative security of childhood and the thrust toward the self-expression of adulthood.” Give your comments on how Salinger reveals the conflict through Holden’s experiences.
