Interpretation (20%)Read the following selections and then answer the questions.(1)Who are these coming to the sacrifice?To what green altar, O mysterious priest,Lead’st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?What little town by river or sea shore,Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?And, little town, thy streets for evermoreWill silent be; and not a soul to tellWhy thou art desolate, can e’er return.O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with bredeOf marble men and maidens overwrought,With forest branches and the trodden weed;Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thoughtAs doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!When old age shall this generation waste,Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woeThan ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st,“Beauty is truth, truth beauty,”—that is all6Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.1. What is the title of this poem? Who is the author?2. What contrast is shown in the poem?(2)She was expressing in her own native phrases —assisted a little by her Sixth Standard training —feelings which might almost have been called those of the age: the ache of modernism. The perception arrested him less when he reflected that what are called advanced ideas are really in great part but the latest fashion in definition-a more accurate expression, by words in logy and ism, of sensations which men and women have vaguely grasped for centuries.Still, it was strange that they should have come to her while yet so young; more than strange; it was impressive, interesting, pathetic. Not guessing the cause, there was nothing to remind him that experience is as to intensity, and not as to duration. Tess’s passing corporeal blight had been her mental harvest.Tess, on her part, could not understand why a man of clerical family and good education, and above physical want, should look upon it as a mishap to be alive. For the unhappy pilgrim herself there was very good reason. But how could this admirable and poetic man ever have descended to the Valley of Humiliation, have felt with the man of Uz —as she herself had felt two or three years ago —“My soul chooseth strangling and death rather than my life. I loathe it; I would not live alway.”It was true that he was at present out of his class. But she knew that was only because, like Peter the Great in a shipwright’s yard, he was studying what he wanted to know. He did not milk cows because he was obliged to milk cows, but because he was learning how to be a rich and prosperous dairyman, landowner, agriculturist, and breeder of cattle.3. Which novel is this passage taken from? Who’s the author?4. What does it mean by Tess’s passing corporeal blight in the passage?(3)After filling his mouth with household bread, stale, he at once began: “How are you going down to Robin Hill? You going to take Irene? You’d better take her. I should think there’ll be a lot that’ll want seeing to.”Without looking up, Soames answered: “She won’t go.”7“Won’t go? What’s the meaning of that? She’s going to live in the house, isn’t she?”Soames made no reply.“I don’t know what’s coming to women nowadays,”mumbled James; “I never used to have any trouble with them. She’s had too much liberty. She’s spoiled——”Soames lifted his eyes: “I won’t have anything said against her,”he said unexpectedly.The silence was only broken now by the supping of James’s soup.The waiter brought the two glasses of port, but Soames stopped him.“That’s not the way to serve port,”he said; “take them away, and bring the bottle.”Rousing himself from his reverie over the soup, James took one of his rapid shifting surveys of surrounding facts.“Your mother’s in bed,”he said; “you can have the carriage to take you down. I should think Irene’d like the drive. This young Bosinney’ll be there, I suppose, to show you over？”Soames nodded.“I should like to go and see for myself what sort of a job he’s made finishing off,”pursued James. “I’ll just drive round and pick you both up.”“I am going down by train,”replied Soames. “If you like to drive round and see, Irene might go with you, I can’t tell.”5. Please give a brief comment on the relationship between Soames and Irene.Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions(15%).1. Please state Henry Fielding’s major contributions in novel writing.2. Make a brief comment on the relationship between the mother and son in Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers.8。

As is the saying of the wise, “All that cometh is vanity.”This fair is no new-erected business, but a thing of ancient standing; I will show you the original of it.Almost five thousand years agone, there were pilgrims walking to the Celestial City, as theses two honest persons are; and Beelzebub, Apollyon, and Legion, with their companions, perceiving by the path that the pilgrims made, that their way to the city lay through this town of Vanity, they contrived to set up a fair; a fair wherein should be sold all sorts of vanity, and that it should last all the year long. Therefore at this fair are all such merchandise sold, as houses, land, trades, places, honors, preferments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusts, pleasures, and delights of all sorts, as whores, bawds, wives, husbands, children, masters, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold, pearls, precious stones, and what not.And , moreover, at this fair here is at all times to be seen jugglings, cheats, games, plays, fools, apes, knaves, and rogues, and that of every kind.Here are to be seen, too, and that for nothing, thefts, murders, adulteries, false swearers, and that of a blood-red colour.1. Which book is this passage taken from? Who is the author?2. What kind of fair is the Vanity Fair in the passage?(2)“Who, who?”cries Tom; but without waiting for an answer, having discovered the features of his Molly through all the discomposure in which they now were, he hastily alighted, turned his horse loose, and, leaping over the wall, ran to her. She now first bursting into tears, told him how barbarously she had been treated.Upon which, forgetting the sex of Goody Brown, or perhaps not knowing it in his rage—for, in reality, she had no feminine appearance but a petticoat, which he6might not observe—he gave her a lash or two with his horsewhip; and then flying at the mob, who were all accused by Moll, he dealt his blows so profusely on all sides, that unless I would again invoke the Muse (which the good-natured reader may think a little too hard upon her, as she hath so lately been violently sweated), it would be impossible for me to recount the horsewhipping of that day.Having scoured the whole coast of the enemy, as well as any of Homer’s horses ever did, or as Don Quixote or any knight-errant in the world could have done, he returned to Molly, whom he found in a condition which must give both me and my reader pain, was it to be described here. Tom raved like a madman, beat his breast, tore his hair, stamped on the ground, and vowed the utmost vengeance on all who had been concerned.He then pulled off his coat, and buttoned it round her, put his hat upon her head, wiped the blood from her face as well as he could with his handkerchief, and called out to the servant to ride as fast as possible for a side-saddle, or a pillion, that he might carry her safe home.Master Blifil objected to the sending away the servant, as they had only one with them; but as Square seconded the order of Jones, he was obliged to comply.The servant returned in a very short time with the pillion, and Molly, having collected her rags as well as she could, was placed behind him. In which manner she was carried home, Square, Blifil, and Jones attending.Here Jones having received his coat, given her a sly kiss, and whispered her, that he would return in the evening, quitted his Molly, and rode on after his companions.3. What can be seen about the hero Tom’s character from this accident?4. How do you comment on the art form of the novel?(3)She dwelt among the untrodden waysBeside the springs of Dove,A Maid whom there were none to praiseAnd very few to love:A violet by a mossy stoneHalf hidden from the eye!—Fair as a star, when only one7Is shining in the sky.She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;But she is in her grave, and, oh,The difference to me!5. What is the theme of this poem?Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions. (15%)1. Make a brief comment on the major features of Jane Austen’s novel writing.2.

Even had you skillIn speech—(which I have not)—to make your willQuite clear to such an one, and say, “Just thisOr that in you disgusts me; here you miss,Or there exceed the mark”—and if she letHerself be lessoned so, nor plainly setHer wits to yours, forsooth, and made excuse—E’en then would be some stooping; and I chooseNever to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,Whene’er I passed her; but who passed without5Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;Then all smiles stopped together. There she standsAs if alive. Will’t please you rise? We’ll meetThe company below, then. I repeat,The Count your master’s known munificenceIs ample warrant that no just pretenceOf mine for dowry will be disallowed;Though his fair daughter’s self, as I avowedAt starting, is my object.

What is the title of this poem?4. Who is the speaker of this dramatic monologue? What kind of person is he?(3)“I grieve to leave Thornfield: I love Thornfield:—I love it, because I have lived in it a full and delightful life,—momentarily at least. I have not been trampled on. I have not been petrified.I have not been buried with inferior minds, and excluded from every glimpse of communion with what is bright, and energetic, and high. I have talked, face to face, with what I reverence: with what I delight in—with an original, a vigorous, an expanded mind. I have known you, Mr. Rochester; and it strikes me with terror and anguish to feel I absolutely must be torn from you for ever. I see the necessity of departure; and it is like looking on the necessity of death.”“Where do you see the necessity?”he asked, suddenly.“Where? You, sir, have placed it before me.”“In what shape?”“In the shape of Miss Ingram; a noble and beautiful woman—your bride.”“My bride! What bride? I have no bride!”“But you will have.”“Yes;—I will! —I will!”He set his teeth.“Then I must go:—you have said it yourself.”“No: you must stay! I swear it—and the oath shall be kept.”“I tell you I must go!”I retorted, roused to something like passion. “Do you think I can6stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?—a machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!—I have as much soul as you—and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, or even of mortal flesh:—it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal—as we are!”5.
