The Rocking-Horse Winner (by D.H. Lawrence)There was a woman who was beautiful, who started with all the advantages, yet she had no luck. She married for love, and the love turned to dust. She had bonny （漂亮的） children, but she did not love them. They looked at her coldly, as if they were finding fault with her. Nevertheless, when her children were present, she was all the more gentle and anxious for her children, as if she loved them very much. Only she herself knew that at the centre of her heart was a hard little place that could not feel love, no, not for anybody. Everybody else said of her: “She is such a good mother. She adores her children.” Only she herself, and her children themselves, knew it was not so. They read it in each other ’s eyes.There were a boy and two little girls. They lived in a pleasant house, with a garden, and they had servants, and felt themselves superior to anyone in the neighborhood. Although they lived in style, they felt always an anxiety in the house. There was never enough money. The mother had a small income, and the father had a small income, but not nearly enough for the social position which they had to keep up. There was always the grinding sense of the shortage of money, though the style was always kept up.The children were growing up, they would have to go to school. There must be more money. The father, who was always very handsome and expensive in his tastes, seemed as if he never would be able to do anything worth doing. And the mother, who had a great belief in herself, did not succeed any better, and her tastes were just as expensive.And so the house came to be haunted by the unspoken phrase: There must be more money! There must be more money! The children could hear it all the time though nobody said it aloud. They heard it at Christmas, when the expensive and splendid toysfilled the nursery. Yet nobody ever said it aloud. The whisper was everywhere, and therefore no one spoke it. Just as no one ever says: “We are breathing!” in spite of the fact that breath is coming and going all the time.“Mother,” said the boy Paul one day, “why don’t we keep a car of our own? Why do we always use uncle’s, or else a taxi?”“Because we’re the poor members of the family,” said the mother.“But why are we, mother?”“Well - I suppose,”she said slowly and bitterly, “it’s because your father has no luck.”“Oh!” said the boy. “Then what is luck, mother?”“It’s what c auses you to have money. If you’re lucky you have money. That’s why it’s better to be born lucky than rich. If you’re rich, you may lose your money. But if you’re lucky, you will al ways get more money.’“Well, anyhow,” he said stoutly, “I’m a lucky person.”“Why?” said his mother, with a sudden laugh.He stared at her. He didn't even know why he had said it. “God told me,” he asserted. “I hope He did, dear!”, she said, again with a laugh, but rather bitter.“He did, mother!” Paul assertedHe went off by himself, and in his room he would sit on his big rocking-horse, driving madly. “Now!”he would silently command the horse. “Now take me to where there is luck! Now take me!” He knew the horse could take him to where there was luck, if only he forced it. At last he stopped forcing his horse and slid down. “Well, I got there!”he announced fiercely, his blue eyes still flaring. “Where did you get?” asked his uncle, “Could you know its name?”“Well, he has different names. He was called Sa nsovino last week.”“Sansovino, eh? Won the Ascot horse-racing. How did you know this name?” asked his uncle.“My horse told me and now I have won 300 pounds by betting the race already. You won’t tell others, right?” answered the boy.“Now, son,” Uncle Oscar said doubtedly, “Let’s check it. There will be a race today. I’m putting twenty on Mirza, and I’ll put five on any horse you fancy. What’s your pick?”“Daffodil this time, uncle.”At last, Daffodil came in first, Lancelot second, Mirza third. His uncle brought himfour five-pound notes, four to one. （四比一的胜率）“What am I to do with these?” the uncle cried, waving the money before boys’ eyes.“I suppose we’ll talk to Bassett, our gardener and he is also my partner in horse-racing,” said the boy. “I expect I have had fifteen hundred now.”Uncle Oscar turned to Bassett and asked how they wined in horse racing. “It’s Master Paul, sir,” said Bassett in a secret, religious voice. “It’s as if he had the news from heaven.” Later, his uncle joined them and Paul even had made ten thousand in a race.“But what are you going to do with your money?” asked the uncle.The boy said, “I started it for mother. She said she had no luck, because father is unlucky, so I thought if I was l ucky, it might stop whispering.”“What might stop whispering?”“Our house. I hate our house for whispering.”“What does it whisper?”The boy answered: “I don't know. But it’s always short of money, you know, uncle. The house whispers, like people laughing at you behind your back. It's awful, that is! I thought if I was lucky,…”“You might stop it,” added the uncle.“Well, then!” said the uncle. “What are we doing?”“I shouldn't like mother to know I was lucky,” said the boy.“All right, son! We’ll manage it without her knowing.”They managed it very easily. Paul, at the other’s suggestion, handed over five thousand pounds to his uncle, who deposited (存入) it with the family lawyer, who was then to inform Paul's mother that a relative had put five thousand pounds into his hands, which sum was to be paid out a thousand pounds at a time, on the mother’s birthday, for the next five years.“So she’ll have a birthday present of a thousand pounds for five succes sive years,”said Uncle Oscar. “I hope it won’t make it all the harder for her later.”Paul’s mother had her birthday in November. The house had been “whispering”worse than ever lately, and, even in spite of his luck. She was down to breakfast on the morning of her birthday. Paul watched her face as she read her letters. He knew the lawyer’s letter. As his mother read it, her face hardened and became more expressionless. Then a cold, determined look came on her mouth. She hid the letter under the pile of others, and said not a word about it.But in the afternoon Uncle Oscar appeared. H e said Paul’s mother had had a longinterview with the lawyer, asking if the whole five thousand could not be advanced at once, as she was in debt.“What do you think, uncle?” said the boy. The uncle said, “I leave it to you, son.”“Oh, let her have it, then! We can get some more with the other,” said the boy.So Uncle Oscar signed the agreement, and Paul’s mother touched the whole five thousand. Then something very curious happened. The voices in the house suddenly went mad, like a chorus of frogs on a spring evening. “There must be more money! Oh-h-h; there must be more money. More than ever! More than eve r!”“I’ve got to know the result for the Derby horse-racing! I’ve got to know for the Derby!” the child reiterated (反复说), his big blue eyes blazing with a sort of madness.Paul’s secret of secrets was his wooden horse, that which had no name. To keep it, he had his rocking-horse removed to his own bedroom at the top of the house.“Surely you’re too big for a rocking-horse!” his mother had remonstrated.（告诫）“Well, you see, mother, till I can have a real horse, I like to have some sort of animal about,” had been his answer.The Derby was drawing near, and the boy grew more and more tense. He hardly heard what was spoken to him, he was very frail, and his eyes were really strange.Two nights before the Derby, she was at a big party in town. But an unrest was so strong that she had to leave the dance and go downstairs to telephone her house. “Are the c hildren all right, Miss Wilmot?”“Oh yes, they are quite all right.”Paul’s mother said: “It's all right. Don’t sit up. We shall be home fairly soon.”It was about one o’clock when Paul’s mother and father drove up to their house. All was still. Pau l’s mother went to her room and slipped off her white fur cloak. She had told her maid not to wait up for her. She heard her husband downstairs, mixing a whisky and soda.And then, because of the strange anxiety at her heart, she stole upstairs to her son’s room. Noiselessly she went along the upper corridor. Was there a faint noise?Then suddenly she switched on the light, and saw her son, in his green pajamas, madly surging on the rocking-horse. The blaze of light suddenly lit him up, as he urged the wooden horse, and lit her up, as she stood, blonde, in her dress of pale green and crystal, in the doorway.“Paul!” she cried. “Whatever are you doing?”“It’s Malabar!” he screamed in a powerful, strange voice. “It’s Malabar!”“What does he mean by Malabar?” asked the heart-frozen mother.“I don’t know,” said the father stonily. “What does he mean by Malabar?” she asked her brother Oscar, who came here as soon as he heard Paul was ill.“It’s one of the horses running for the Derby,” was the answer.The third day of the illness was critical: they were waiting for a change. The boy, with his rather long, curly hair, was tossing ceaselessly on the pillow. He neither slept nor regained consciousness, and his eyes were like blue stones. His mother sat, feeling her heart had gone, turned actually into a stone.The gardener tiptoed into the room and stole to the bedside, staring with glittering, smallish eyes at the tossing, dying child.“Master Paul!” he whispered. “Master Paul! Malabar came in first all right, a clean win. I did as you told me. You've made over seventy thousand pounds, you have; you’ve got over eighty thousand. Malabar c ame in all right, Master Paul.”“I never told you, mother, that if I can ride my horse, and get there, then I’m absolutely sure - oh, absolutely! Mother, did I ever tell you? I am lucky!”“No, you never did,” said his mother. But the boy died in the night.And even as he lay dea d, his mother heard her brother’s voice saying to her, “My God, Hester, you’re eighty thousand to the good, and a poor devil of a son to the bad. But, poor devil, poor devil, he’s best gone out of a life where he rides his rocking-horse to find a winner.”ABC大学2012-2013学年第一学期《英国文学》课程考试试卷答案适用班级：英语系2010级卷型：（A卷）Part I Multiple Choices (每小题 1分，共20分)Part II Identification of Fragments (每小题10分，共30分)21. From William Shakespeare’s Hamlet; (5分)Hamlet has a good chance to kill his uncle, but he hesitated.

During that time, girls’ marriage is the most important thing in a family, especially in those families whose daughters don’t have much pension. These sentences are ironical.

The writer intended to let Don Juan go on a tour through Europe, take part in the French Revolution and die fighting against the reigning tyranny. He called this poem an “epic satire.” (4分)25. Charles Dickens is the greatest writer in critical realism. He wrote lots of novels. (2分)Dickens’s literary creation can be divided into three periods: in the first period, Dickens shows strong belief that social evils can be settled if only every employer reformed himself according to the model set by the benevolent gentlemen in his novels, such as The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist. In the second period, Dickens came back from America. His travel to America impressed him most there was the rule of dollars and the enormously corrupting influence of wealth and power, such as Martin Chuzzlewit and Dombey and Son. In the third period, Dickens became pessimistic and his major works include Bleak House and Hard Times etc. (4分)As a novelist, Dickens is remembered first of all for his character-portrayal. Another feature of Dickens’s fictional art is his humor and satire. In Dickens’s novels’’construction, the main plot is often interwoven with more than one sub-plot so that some interesting minor characters as well as a broader view of life may be introduced. (4分) 26. The work is one of the most popular and important novels of the Victorian age. It is noted for its sharp criticism of the existing society, e.g. the religious hypocrisy of charity institutions, the social discrimination and the false social convention as concerning love and marriage. At the same time, it is an intense moral fable. (4分)Jane, like Mr. Rochester, has to undergo a series of physical and moral tests to grow up and achieve her final happiness. The success of the novel is also due to its introduction to the English novel the first governess heroine. （2分）Jane Eyre is a completely new woman image. She represents those middle-class working women who are struggling for recognition of their rights and equality as a human being. The vivid description of her intense feelings and her thought and inner conflicts brings her to the heart of the audience. （4分）Part IV Appreciating a Literary Work (计20分)答题要点：Plot.

For each of the quotations listed below give the name of the author and the title of the work from which it is taken and then briefly interpret it:1. Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of may,And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shinesAnd often is his gold complexion dimmed;2. The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,The lowing herd win d slowly o’er the lea,The plowman homeward plods his weary way,And leaves the world to darkness and to me.3 Tyger! Tyger! Burning brightIn the forests of the night,What immortal hand or eyeCould frame thy fearful symmetry?4. That’s my Duchess painted on the wall,Looking as if she were alive. I callThat piece of wonder now: Fra Pandolf’s handsWorked busily a day, and there she stands.5. I will arise and go now, for always night and dayI hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,I hear it in the deep heart’s core.6. Her narrative ended; even its re-assertions and secondary explanations were done. Tess'svoice throughout had hardly risen higher than its opening tone; there had been no exculpatory phrase of any kind, and she had not wept.But the complexion even of external things seemed to suffer transmutation as her announcement progressed. The fire in the grate looked impish - demoniacally funny, as if it did not care in the least about her strait. The fender grinned idly, as if it too did not care. The light from the water-bottle was merely engaged in a chromatic problem. All material objects around announced their irresponsibility with terrible iteration. And yet nothing had changed since the moments when he had been kissing her; or rather, nothing in the substance of things.But the essence of things had changed.7. A book lay spread on the sill before her, and the scarcely perceptible wind fluttered itsleaves at intervals. I believe Linton had laid it there: for she never endeavoured to divert herself with reading, or occupation of any kind, and he would spend many an hour in trying to entice her attention to some subject which had formerly been her amusement. She was conscious of his aim, and in her better moods endured his efforts placidly, only showing their uselessness by now and then suppressing a wearied sigh, and checking him at last with the saddest of smiles and kisses. At other times, she would turn petulantly away, and hide her face in her hands, or even push him off angrily; and then he took care to let her alone, for he was certain of doing no good.8. The afternoon came on wet and somewhat misty: as it waned into dusk, I gegan to feel thatwe were getting very far indeed from Gateshead: we ceased to pass through towns; the country changed, great grey hills heaved up aound the horizon: as twilight deepened, we descended a valley, dark with wood, and long after night had overclouded the prospect, I heard a wild wind rushing amongst trees.Lulled by the sound, I at last dropped asleep; I had not long slumbered when the sudden cessation of motion awoke me; the coach- door was open, and a person like a servant was standing at it: I saw her face and dress by the light of the lamps.9. It was towards the close of his first term in the college when he was in number six. Hissensitive nature was still smarting under the lashes of an undivined and squalid way of life. His soul was still disquieted and cast down by the dull phenomenon of Dublin. He had emerged from a two years' spell of revery to find himself in the midst of a new scene, every event and figure of which affected him intimately, disheartened him or allured and, whether alluring or disheartening, filled him always with unrest and bitter thoughts. All the leisure which his school life left him was passed in the company of subversive writers whose jibes and violence of speech set up a ferment in his brain before they passed out of it into his crude writings.The essay was for him the chief labour of his week and every Tuesday, as he marched from home to the school, he read his fate in the incidents of the way, pitting himself against some figure ahead of him and quickening his pace to outstrip it before a certain goal was reached or planting his steps scrupulously in the spaces of the patchwork of the pathway and telling himself that he would be first and not first in the weekly essay.10. What a lark! What a plunge! For so it had always seemed to her, when, with a little squeak ofthe hinges, which she could hear now, she had burst open the French windows and plunged at Bourton into the open air. How fresh, how calm, stiller than this of course, the air was in the early morning; like the flap of a wave; the kiss of a wave; chill and sharp and yet (for a girl of eighteen as she then was) solemn, feeling as she did, standing there at the open window, that something awful was about to happen; looking at the flowers, at the trees with the smokewinding off them and the rooks rising, falling; standing and looking until Peter Walsh said, “Musing among the vegetables?”— was that it?—“I prefer men to cauliflowers”— was that it?He must have said it at breakfast one morning when she had gone out on to the terrace — Peter Walsh. He would be back from India one of these days, June or July, she forgot which, for his letters were awfully dull; it was his sayings one remembered; his eyes, his pocket-knife, his smile, his grumpiness and, when millions of things had utterly vanished — how strange itwas!— a few sayings like this about cabbages.
