Herman MelvilleC. The Captain of the whaling shipD. The rebellious struggle of Captain Ahab against the over-whelming, mysterious vastness of the universe and its awesome sometimes merciless forces.3.【正确答案】 A. NatureB. Emerson regards nature as the purest, and the most sanctifying moral influence on man, and advocated a direct intuition of a spiritual and immanent God in nature. The soul has completely transcended the limits of individuality and become part of the Over soul. Emerson sees spirit pervading everywhere, not only in the soul of man, but behind nature, throughout nature.4.【正确答案】 A. make through exam of things.B. cure, prescriptionC. of studies Francis Bacon5.【正确答案】 A. It is a collaboration of Wordsworth and Coleridge, the major representatives of the Romantic Movement.B. In the book, they explored new theories and innovated new techniques in poetry writing. They saw poetry as a healing energy; they believed that poetry could purify both individual souls and the society. The preface to the second edition of the Lyrical Ballads acts as a manifesto for the new school. Wordsworth’s poems in the Lyrical Ballads differs in marked ways from his early poetry, notably the uncompromising simplicity of much of the language, the strong sympathy not merely with the poor in general but with particular, dramatized examples of them, and the fusion of natural description with expressions of inward states of mind.6.【正确答案】 A. NoB. The two collections of poems written by William Blake, “Sons of Innocence” and “Sons of Experience”, hold the similar subject-matter, but the tone, emphasis and conclusion differ.7.【正确答案】Walt Whitman was an important poet in American literary history. His originality lies first of all in his use of the poetic form free verse, by means of which he becomes conversational and casual. He usually uses the first person pronoun “I” to stress individualism, and oral language to acquire symp athy from the common reader. His topics are sometimes sexual but his themes are far more than sexual.8.【正确答案】Hawthorne’s stories are generally read as allegories symbolic of human experience, so is “Young Goodman Brown”. Allegorically Brown’s night journey to the forest could be taken as a journey of the mind into the dark region of evil. It is especially true if we allow for some very important details about the light and the shadow, the dreamlike atmosphere, the words and phrases he uses to describe what Brown has experienced in the forest, none of which seems to be substantially solid or physically present.9.【正确答案】This monologue, a psychological exploration of life and death, reveals the character of Hamlet as a man of contemplation rather than action. With the intolerable burden of the duty to revenge his father’s death and the challenge of evil forc es, Hamlet seems to withdraw into a mental world which is thrown into a conflict or a choice between life and death. The philosophical speculation mixed up with a deep pessimistic outlook resists against action at first, but later awakens the hero out of his melancholy to a sense of the “enterprise of treat pith and moment”, indicating that he is to do something for what he concerns himself with.10.【正确答案】Although James and Twain both worked for realism, there were obvious differences between them. In thematic terms, James wrote mostly of the upper reaches of American society, whereas Mark Twain dealt largely with the lower strata of society. Technically, James pursued psychological realism, but Mark Twain’s contribution to the development of realism and to American literature as a whole was partly through his theories of Local Colorist in American fiction, and partly through his colloquial style.Henry James believed that reality lies in the impressions made by life on the spectator, and not in any facts of which the spectator is unaware, such realism is therefore merely the obligation that the artist assumes to represent life as he sees it, which may not be the same life as it “really” is. James shifted the ground of realistic art from the outer to the inner world.Mark Twain preferred to represent social life through portraits of local places which he knew best. He drew heavily from his own rich fund of knowledge of people and places. He confined himself to the life with which he was familiar. By quoting from his own experience, Mark Twain managed to transform into art the freedom and humor, in short, the finest elements of western culture.。

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。

Please define the literary terms listed below (10 points for each, 5 points for each).1. RomanticismRomanticism is a movement that flourished in literature, philosophy, music, and art in western culture during most of the 19th century, beginning as a revolt against classicism. There have been many varieties of Romanticism in many different times and places. The leading figures of Romantic movements are Wordsworth, Shelley, etc.2. Stream of ConsciousnessIt’s a narrative device with which the author makes an attempt to depict the exact process of mental workings of the character (mainly narrator), with all its illogical darts and dashes and sudden turns and free associations. Both Faulkner and Joyce employed this literary device in some of their works.V. Please give brief answers to each of the following questions in English (40 points, 20 points for each).1.Give a brief analysis of the relation Between Heathcliff and Catherine in EmilyBronte’s masterpiece Wuthering Heights.The love between Heathcliff and Catherine is the most beautiful, most tense and at the same time the most horrible passion. They fall in love for their mutual love of the moor, the sublime beauty and wilderness on it. And their love takes the feature of the moor. However when Catherine betrays her heart as well as their love and marries Linton, Heathcliff runs away. When they meet again, Catherine is trapped by her fidelity to her husband and her love towards Heathcliff, which finally brings her death. After her death, Heathcliff turns into a demonic figure and takes revenge crazily, but his love towards Catherine remains unchanged.Finally, he sees her ghost and starves himself to death in the ghost house. The souls of the two at last unite.This love between Heathcliff and Catherine experiences the tow worlds of this life and after life, and it is totally spiritual. It takes Romantic feature and can only exist and survive in that particular circumstance.2.Give a brief analysis of Huck, a character in Mark Twain’s Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn, and discuss the social importance of the characterization of this character.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the best known for Mark Twain’s wonderful characterization of “Huck”. Huck is a typical American Boy with “a sound heart and a deformed conscience”. He appears to be vulgar in language and in manner, but he is honest and decent in essence. His remarkable raft’s journey down the Mississippi river, which Twain used both realistically and symbolically to shape his book into an organic whole, can also be regarded as his process of education and his way to grow up. On the whole, he is the son of nature and a symbol for freedom and earthly pragmatism.Through the eyes of Huck, the innocent and reluctant rebel, we see the pre-Civil War American society fully exposed. Twain thematically contrasts the life on the river and the life on the banks. These contrasts between innocence and experience, nature and culture, wilderness and civilization best show the romantic quality in Twain’s writing.。
