Part U: Reading Comprehension [50 points] Read the extracts and give brief answers to the questions below.

Text 1

1 tried to sleep; but my heart beat anxiously, my inward tranquillity was broken. The clock, far down in the hall, struck two. Just then it seemed my chamber-door was touched,

as if fingers had swept the panels in groping a way along the dark gallery outside. I said,

'Who is there?' Nothing answered. I was chilled with fear.

All at once 1 remembered that it might be Pilot, who, when the kitchen door chanced to be left open, not infrequently found his way up to the threshold of Mr Rochester's chamber: I had seen him lying there myself in the mornings. The idea calmed me somewhat: I lay down. Silence composes the nerves; and as an unbroken hush now reigned again through the whole house, I began to feel the return of slumber. But it was not fated that I should sleep that night. A dream had scarcely approached my ear, when it fled affrighted, scared by a marrow-freezing incident enough.

This was a demoniac laugh--low, suppressed, and deep--uttered, as it seemed, at the very keyhole of my chamber door. The head of my bed was near the door, and I thought at first the goblin-laugher stood at my bedside --or rather, crouched by my pillow. But 1 rose, looked round, and could see nothing; while, as I still gazed, the unnatural sound was reiterated, and I knew it came from behind the panels. My first impulse was to rise and fasten the bolt; my next, again to cry out, 'Who is there?'

Questions (12 points)

16. From which novel is the extract taken from? (Write the letter representing your choice on the answer sheet. )

A. Heart of Darkness

B. Jane Eyre

C. The Old Man and the Sea

17. What time of the day did the marrow-freezing incident happen?

18. What words did the author use to describe the laugh she heard?

19. What did the narrator" I ' observe after she rose from her bed?

Text 2

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, ! stand and look at them long and long.

They do not sweat and whine about their condition,

They do not lie awake in the dark and ,eep for their sins,

They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,

Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,

Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,

Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

So they show their relations to me and I accept them,

They bring me tokens of myself, they evince them plainly in their possession.

( Song of Myself)

The Man Who Talked to Trees

1. They were twins; boys born five minutes apart in the dark days of the Civil War fifty days earlier. The elder was named Torbash, which means 'hero' in our language. The younger one*s name was Milmaq, 'bringer of peace. ' Torbash had struggled like a hero to escape from his mother's womb, almost tearing her apart. Milmaq had slid out with merciful swiftness.

2. They were identical twins. When they were children strangers could not tell them apart. They both had dark black hair and piercing green eyes. They were strong, tall and erect. Until they reached their early teens, they were always together. They slept together, ate together, played together, went to school together, got into trouble together--they even

fell iii together. And they looked after each other. Anyone who tried to bully one of them would face the anger of the other. And of course they used their physical likeness to play tricks on people, especially at school.

3. By the time they were fourteen the family had returned to its lands in the Nirmat valley. Their father had rebuilt the old farmhouse, destroyed by the retreating rebel army at the end of the war. He farmed the bottom of the valley, growing wheat and tending the rich almond orchards for which the valley was then famous. On the lower slopes he had vineyards from which he produced the strong Nirmat Kashin (Lion of Nirmat) wine. The higher land was forested. The chestnut trees gave nuts in the autumn. The oaks and beeches, as well as the chestnut trees, were carefully tended. Their valuable timber was sold to furniture makers and builders in Jalseen, the town lower down the valley. The trees were cut according to a strict rotation. For every tree they cut down, another was planted. These

were what we, the ones who remember, still call 'The Days of Contentment'.

4. It was about this time that the two boys began to grow apart. There was nothing sudden about this. They did not argue about a girl, or fight over an imagined insult as so many young people do. It was simply that they gradually began to do things by themselves which, before that, they would have done together. So each began to develop different interests.

5. Torbash spent his spare time hunting in the forests. He had been given a shotgun for his fifteenth birthday. He would proudly return after a day's hunting with wild pigeons,

with rabbits, their eyes glazed in death, and sometimes with a deer. His greatest ambition was to bring back a wild boar. His other main occupation was to visit Jalseen, where there were girls with 'modern' ways. It was there that he got to know the 'contacts' who were to help him later.

6. Milmaq was a solitary person. He would spend hours in the forests, not hunting, simply sitti~ng still, watching, waiting for something to happen. A spider would swing its thread across the canyon between two branches. A woodpecker would drum at the trunk of a chestnut tree, its neck a blur of speed. Above all, the trees themselves would speak to him. He would be aware of them creaking and swaying in the wind. He could sense the sap rising in them in the springtime~ feel their sorrow at the approach of winter. If he put his ear to the trunk of a tree, he could hear it growing, very slowly; feel it moving towards its final

magnificent shape.

7. Sometimes he would speak aloud to a tree. More often he would communicate with it silently. Sometimes he would lose all sense of himself. It was as if he had become part of the tree. This may sound like nonsense to you. Things are different now. But we still have an expression for this in the old language: 'Ahashinat ain kashul '. It means, 'Finding the

centre~.

8. Please do not think that the brothers lost touch with each other, in that special way

that twins have. There was the time, one winter's evening, when Milmaq suddenly got up

from the table, pulling his father with him, and set off for the upper slopes of the valley.

Snow had fallen, and they soon found the tracks of boots and, soon after that, boar tracks.

They found Torbash crouching in the branches of an oak tree. Beneath the tree there was a

full-grown wild boar, grunting angrily.

9. It had a wound in its side. Their father killed it with the two barrels of his own hunting gun. And no one, least of all Torbash, ever asked how Milmaq had known he was in danger.

10. Just as Milmaq himself did not ask when Torbash arrived, as if by magic, to fight

off the gang of thugs who had attacked Milmaq in the street on one of his rare visits to Jalseen. They were twins--'majeen taq asnaan' ('a plum with a double stone'). It was natural. No one thought it in the least bit strange.

I1. It was not long after the incident with the boar that their father died. It was the

time of the grape harvest. He had gone out after supper to check on the fermentation of the grapes in the vat. They found him floating in the vat, face downwards, tie must either have

had a heart attack or been overcome with the powerful fumes. Whichever, he was well and

truly dead, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. As we say, 'Fashan kat maan

nat, maan q'a nat. ' (When the time comes, the time has come. ) He was a brave man, respected by all, and regretted by all.

12. He and his wife had survived many hardships together. But she could not bear to

live alone. Within three months, she had followed her husband to the place where all sufferings cease. The two boys were left alone.

13. It was not long before Torbash left home. He had never enjoyed the hard work of

the farm. He needed to see things happen fast. He took a room in Jalseen and was soon working in one of the newer places there. It was a sort of restaurant, but nothing like anything we had seen before. It sold flat cakes of minced beef mixed with the sawdust (or

that's what it tasted like to us), grilled and served between two pieces of bread. The prices

were high but young people loved it. Torbash began by washing up the dirty dishes. Within weeks he was 'supervising'. Soon afterwards, one of his 'contacts' offered him a better job

with a company selling a new type of drink. It was brown and had a sweet, perfumed taste.

And instead of quenching your thirst, it made you want to drink more. Give me a bottle of Nirmat Kashin any day! The drink was made in a factory in the capital and, before long, Torbash was promoted and went to work there in the head office. We did not see him for several years.

14. Meantime Milmaq continued to farm the family land. He did not marry, and seldom le(t the farm. When he was not on the land he would be in the woods. There were rumours

that he was becoming more and more strange. Hunters had found him deep in conversation

with an oak tree. He would walk through the woods greeting individual trees like old friends. And he completely stopped the cutting of timber for sale. The only trees he cut were dead or diseased. After several years, he closed up the old farmhouse and moved to an old forester's hut up on the edge of the woods. He only took a few essential belongings with

him--a bed, a table, a chair, an old cooking stove and such like. Here he was closer to his beloved trees. He had become a sort of hermit, what we ,',sed to call ' Horat vannah ' (holy man). We respected him and left him alone, though occasionally one of us would pass by

just to ask if he needed anything.

15. One day Torbash arrived unexpectedly. He was dressed in one of those modern suits, a shirt with red stripes and a bright red tie to match. He was driving a big red car which made a lot of dust when it roared into the village. He told us he was now a big man in another company. What sort of company? It made 'paper products', things like toilet paper and paper handkerchiefs. (We didn't know what these were but we didn't show it. ) They

also made paper for printing books and newspapers. And a special part of the cmnpany made furniture.

16. He had come to see his brother about selling the woods. We directed him to the forester's hut. He left his car and went on foot up the steep path. Now I should explain

that, under our laws of inheritance, everything is left to the eldest son, 'Zirmat akal' (first born). So the farm and the woods belonged to Torbash, even though it was Milmaq who worked them.

17. I don't know what happened when they met but, when Torbash came back down, his face was black with anger. He drove off without greeting us. A week later great machines began to arrive, ploughing up the tracks as they went up the hillsides. The trees began to be torn savagely, not in the old way. ()n the hillside away fr0m the forester's hut there were no trees left, only a tangle of fallen trunks and smashed branches waiting to be sawn up and dragged away.

18. When I called to see Milmaq I found him in his bed. He was terribly thin and had a high fever. I kept watch over him for the next three days. During this time, the machines were moving closer and closer to the hut. Soon there Were only a few trees standing. Until, through the window, I could see just one tree left. It was a magnificent oak, the one which Milmaq had often spoken to. The men moved in wixh their evil-sounding saws and began work. I watched, hypnotized by the enormity of tiffs massacre of trees. Behimt me I heard Milmaq stir. He staggered to his feet and leaned on tile window sill. The oak shuddered, swayed and, with a gut-wrenching groan, crashed in a pile of splintered hram'hes. As it hit the ground, Milmaq himself collapsed. He was dead. I looked at the clock, h was three in

the afternoon. In the distance I heard the rumble of thunder from the next valley.

19. We only heard about Torbash later. He had apparently left a meeting in his office and driven off at high speed. All he had said was, 'My brother. My brother.' In his desperate haste, he had taken a short cut along a forest track leading from the next valley to our own. A violent thunderstorm had blown up--the one I had heard from Milmaq's hut. An enormous oak tree had been struck by lightning. It had fallen across the track, crushing tile car and Torbash with it. The crash had stopped the car clock. Its hands pointed to three.

20. 1 have finished. My story is told. 'Fashankat maan nat, inaanq~a nat '. (When the time comes, the time has come. )

Questions (20 points)

26. In what aspects are the twins --Milmaq and Torbash similar?

27. In what aspects are the twins different'?

28. What role do you think the oak trees (forest) play in the short story?

The Disillusion of American Dream in Death of a Salesman 英语112 冯文娟 11425203 Franklin showed the people by aphorism and even his experiences,the myth that as long as you hard work,it is possible to achieve the American dream of fame and fortune. And his 13 virtues,which brought him great success,has made many ambitious young men regard it as the motto, they are doing Cinderella-like dream, a dream to one day become a prince. Later,American Dream becomes one of the most important themes in American literature,it convinces people that if they work hard, everyone can get rich.However, the harsh reality broke many people's American Dream into pieces, resulting in a series of tragedy.Many writers in American literature attempt to reveal the illusion of American Dream through their works, to explore the conflict between the reality and the American Dream.Among them, Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman reveals the illusory American dream by analyzing the reasons of the character,Willy Loman’s death.It has exposed some of the ills of American society, crushing the myth that "everyone can be successful." When I read the brief introduction of this book,there is a question constantly around me.Why Willy chose to commit suicide finally?But when I finished this book,I find the answer.Perhaps because of the sever reality,Perhaps when hopes dashed , Willy’s heart can no longer afford.Willy Loman is the play's tragic figure. His tragedy is to own his wrong values tightly, and can not face the reality. His whole lifetime is spent in the whole dream , as well died resulting from the wrong dream . As far as I am concerned,Willy represents his class, so he's tragedy is also the unfortune of a group of people who are holding the successful dream.As his name, Lowman ,implies that he belongs to the low-rise character of society.He has nothing.As a salesman,he has no pay, only led commission.He just sells other people's stuff and he convinces that as long as likable, charming,the door of the world is open to him. His life is built on such dreams.He admires David Sigelman very much because David sells products successfully and he does not have to leave the hotel, only a phone call can bring him a successful deal.When he died at the 84-year-old age, there are so many consumers and companions take part in his funeral procession.So Willy always lives in a world of his own imagination,considering the fantasy as the reality,and often boasts. As he said “I’m the New England man.I’m vital in New England.”Regardless of the fact that his products are unwelcomed,he boasts how important he is in New England and how high his sales volume is.Consequently,he falls into his own lie and can never escape. What’s more,to his son,Biff Loman,he also tries his best to instill the thinking:As

英美文学欣赏诗歌赏析合集

1.A Red, Red Rose Robert Burns 1)总分析it is a very popular poem for his beautiful words and sound, using many key poetic devices to describe his eternal and passionate love. He describes his passion and emotion using a lot of imagery, symbolism, rhyme, and repetition which appeals to the senses including the heart 2)Theme: The speaker loves the young lady beyond measure through vivid similes and hyperbolic comparisons.Love:—express speaker's powerful, undying love-is lasting,real,awesomely awesome. Nature: Rocks, seas, sand, roses—many nature.Time: "A Red, Red Rose" has time on its side. 3)Structure: a)Stanza1: compare his sweet heart as a red rose and sweet music.b)Stanza2-3 : swear that he will love her for ever, and assure that he will never change his heart.c)Stanza4: assure his lover that he will leave for a short time but will come back no matter how far it is. 4)Form: Scottish Folklore, short lines, strong rhythm. The first and third lines have 8 syllables and the second and fourth lines have 6 syllable in the first two stanzas and 7 syllables in the second two stanzas. Rhyming abab. Use simile to express the strong affection which can not be controlled. And use repetition to intensify his emotion. 5)Meter:This one's a classic, so it's no wonder it uses some of the most classic forms in all of poetry and music. "A Red, Red Rose" is written partly in ballad meter (the first eight lines) and partly in common meter (the last eight lines). It alternates between iambic tetrameter in the odd-numbered lines and iambic trimeter in the even-numbered ones. A line of iambic tetrameter consists of four (tetra-) iambs, a foot that contains an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Line 5 is a great example: As fair art thou, my bonn-ie lass. Iambic trimeter, as you might have already guessed, is the same as iambic tetrameter, except there are three (tri-) iambs instead of four, as in line 2: That's new-ly sprung in June. But line 10, It has seven syllables, when it should have six. Let's assume the line's first foot is not an iamb but an anapest. If we scan the line in the following way, we have a line of neat, flowing trimeter: And the rocks melt wi' the sun. 2.I Wondered Lonely as A Cloud William Wordsworth 1)Theme:N ature's beauty uplifts the human spirit. Lines 15, 23, and 24 specifically refer to this theme;P eople sometimes fail to appreciate nature's wonders as they go about their daily routines. Lines 17 and 18 suggest this theme;N ature thrives unattended. The daffodils proliferate in splendor along the shore of the lake without the need for human attention. 2)Genre：Lyric poem 3)Rhyme Skill:ababcc, efefgg, hihikk, lmlmnn Rhetoric(修辞）:Simile明喻，personification拟人，hyperbole夸张，alliteration头韵。 4)Structure:Meter of the poem is in Iambic Tetrameter:each lines has four iambs(unaccented syllable/accented syllable)four stanzas, each including 6 lines:Summary, Stanza1:Wandering like a cloud, the speaker happens upon daffodils fluttering in a breeze on the shore of a lake, beneath trees. Daffodils are plants in the lily family with yellow flowers and a crown shaped like a trumpet. Click here to see images of daffodils.Summary, Stanza 2The daffodils stretch all along the shore. Because there are so many of them, they remind the speaker of the Milky Way, the galaxy that scientists say contains about one trillion stars, including the sun. The speaker humanizes the daffodils when he says they are engaging in a dance. Summary, Stanza 3 In their gleeful fluttering and dancing, the daffodils outdo the rippling waves of the lake. But the poet does not at this moment fully appreciate the happy sight before him. In the last line of the stanza, Wordsworth uses anastrophe, writing the show to me had brought instead of the show brought to me. Anastrophe is an inversion of the normal word order. Summary, Stanza 4 Not until the poet later
