(三)考点解析

考生要经过仔细阅读这篇戏剧节选, 从原文寻找答案, 若原

文没有直接可用的答案, 还必须靠自己归纳或进行推理。归纳时尽量采用原文的单词和词组来重组, 注意答案的简短和书写的工整, 太长太乱的答案很可能会影响教师的评阅。如果有字数限制的, 还应注意不能超过字数限制。

1. B.

beguile 和look like 都暗含” fit ”的意思。

2. A.

” O, never Shall sun that morrow see. Your face, my thane, is as a book where men May read strange matters. To beguile the time, Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye, Your hand, your tongue; look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under 't. ”这一段话是叫Macbeth 保持镇静, 举止如常, 即” to behave normally ”。” and you shall put This night 's

business into my dispatch ”能够理解为” leave the murdering part to me to arrange ”。

3. Your face is giving you away or your looks betray your feelings.

Passage 2

Elizabeth: The Deputy Governor promise hangin ' if they ' ll not confess, John. The town gone wild, I think. She speak of Abigail, and I thought she were a saint, to hear her. Abigail brings the

other girls into the court, and where she walks the crowd will part like the sea for Israel.

And folks are brought before them. And if they scream and howl

and fall to the floor —the preson ' s clapped

in the jail for bewitchin ' them.

Proctor (wide-eyed): Oh, it is a black mischief.

Elizabeth: I think you must go to Salem, John. (he turns to

her.) I think so. You must tell them it is a fraud.

Proctor (thinking beyond this): Aye, it is, it is surely.

Elizabeth: Let you go to Ezekiei Cheever —he knows you well. And tell him what she said to you last week in her uncle ' s house. She

said it had naught to do with witch craft, did she not?

Proctor (in thought): Aye, she did, she did. (Now a pause.)

Elizabeth (quietly, fearing to anger him by prodding): God forbid you keep that from the court, John. I think they must be told. Proctor (quietly, fearing to anger him by prodding): Eye,

they must, they must. It is a wonder they do believe her. Elizabeth: I would go to Salem now, John—let you go tonight. Proctor: I ' ll think on it.

Elizabeth (with her courage now): You cannot keep it, John.

Proctor (angering): I know I cannot keep it. I say I will think on it! Elizabeth (hurt, and very coldly): Good, then let you think

on it. (She stands to walk out of the room.)

Proctor: I am only wondering how I may prove what she told me. If the girl 's a saint now, I think it not easy to

prove she ' s a fraud, and the town gone so silly. She

told it to me in a room alone —I have no proof of it. Elizabeth: You were alone with her?

Proctor (stubbornly): For a moment alone, aye.

Elizabeth: Why, then, it is not as you told me.

Proctor (his anger rising): For a moment, I say. The others come in soon after.

Elizabeth (quietly —she has suddenly lost all faith in him): Do as you wish, then. (She starts to turn).

Proctor: Woman. (She turns to him.) I 'll not have your suspicion any more.

Elizabeth (a little loftily): I have no —

Proctor: I ' ll not have it!

Elizabeth: Then let you not earn it.

Proctor (with a violent undertone): You doubt me yet?

Elizabeth (with a smile, to keep her dignity): John, it were not Abigail that you must go to hurt, would you falter now? I think not. Proctor: Now look you —

Elizabeth: I see what I see, John.

Proctor (with solemn warning): You will not judge me more,

Elizabeth. I have good reason to think before I charge

fraud on Abigail, and I will think on it. Let you look to your own

improvement before you go to judge your husband any more. I

have forgot Abigail, and —Elizabeth: And I.

Proctor: Spare me! You forget nothin ' and forgive nothin ' . Learn charity, woman. I have gone tiptoe in this house

all seven month since she is gone. I have not moved from there to there without I think to please you, and still an everlasting funeral

marches round your heart. I cannot speak but I am doubted, every moment judged for lies, as though I come into a court when I

come into this house!

Elizabeth: John, you are not open with me. You saw her with

a crowd, you said. Now you —

Proctor: I ' ll plead my honesty no more, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth (now she would justify herself): John, I am only —Proctor: Now more! I should have roared you down when first

you told me your suspicion. But I wilted, and, like a

Christian, I confessed. Confessed! Somedream I had must have

mistaken you for God that day. But you ' re not,

you 're not and let you remember it! Let you look sometimes for

动和直觉放在首位。因此,它不仅是美利坚合众国浪漫主义小说的代表作,同时也被称作 是美利坚合众国心理分析小说的开创篇。 2、The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain 《哈克贝利.芬历险记》 简称《赫克》是美国文学中的珍品,也是美国文化中的珍品。十六年前【1984】 ,美国文坛为《赫克》出版一百周年举行了广泛的庆祝活动和学术讨论,也出版了一些研究马克吐温,特别是他的《赫克》的专著。专门为一位大作家的一本名著而举行如此广泛的纪念和专门的研究,这在世界文坛上也是少有的盛事。这是因为《赫克》的意义不一般. 美国著名作家海明威说, "一切现代美国文学来自一本书, 即马克吐温的《赫克尔贝里芬历险记》……这是我们所有书中最好的。一切美国文学都来自这本书,在它之前,或在它之后,都不曾有

过能与之媲美的作品。 3、The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James 《贵妇画像》 亨利.詹姆斯著】 美国小说家亨利·詹姆斯的《贵妇画像》自问世以来一直受到文学评论界的关注,专家学者已从各个不同角度对女主人伊莎贝尔·阿切尔作了深入细致的研究。本文试图从一个全新的视角,即跨文化交际角度,剖析伊莎贝尔在婚姻方面所作的选择。文章指出她是该小说中跨文化交际的最大失败者,并对其失败原因作了分析。希望在跨文化交际日益频繁的今天我们都能从伊莎贝尔的生活经历中得到某种启发。

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

When I dream that you love me, you’ll surely forgive; 要是我梦见你爱我,你休怪, Extend not your anger to sleep; 休要迁怒于睡眠; For in visions alone your affection can live,— 你的爱只在梦乡存在,—— I rise, and it leaves me to weep. 醒来,我空余泪眼。 Then, Morpheus! envelope my faculties fast, 睡神!快封闭我的神志, Shed o’er me your languor benign; 让昏倦流布我周身; Should the dream of to-night but resemble the last, 愿今宵好梦与昨夜相似: What rapture celestial is mine! 像仙境一样销魂!
