It is a typical example of irony. The word “benefit”, “pleasure”, and “advantage” actually mean theopposite. For the “benefit” of exercise, Oliver was whipped every mo rning in a stone yard; for the “pleasure” of society, he was carried every other day into the dinning hall and flogged as a public warning and example to the boys; and as for the “advantages” of religious consolation, he was kicked into the same apartment every evening at prayer time and listen to the boy?s prayer to be guarded against his sins and vices. The ironic statement is, in fact, a bitter denunciation and fierce attack at the brutal, inhuman treatment of the poor orphan by the workhouse authority.2.“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little,I am soulless andheartless? --- You think wrong!--- I have as much soul as you--- and full as muchheart…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!”Reference: The statement is taken from Charlotte Bronte?s masterpiece Jane Eyre. In this famous declaration, Jane proves herself a new, unconventional woman, a woman who believes in the basic human rights, in the independence and equality of people of all social classes. She is courageous enough to defy the social conventions that discriminate against the poor and the unfortunate and deprive them of their right to equality. It is not just a personal protest and declaration a governess makes to her master, but a declaration made on behalf of all the unfortunate middle-class working women, and of all the poor people in the world.3.“He flung himself into the nearest seat, and on myapproaching hurriedly toascertain if she had fainted, he gnashed at me, and foamed like a mad dog, and gathered her to him with greedy jealousy. I did not feel as if I were in the company of a cr eature of my own species…”Reference: The sentences are taken from Emily Bronte?s Wuthering Heights. It is a description of the mad, desperate love between Catherine and Heathcliff in her death scene. Heathcliff, seeing his love on the verge of death, was heart-broken. Though they two tortured each other with many a false charge, they were eager to cling to each other at this last moment. Heathcliff, in his eagerness to have her all to himself, now behaved like an animal greedily and jealously guarding his dear one or treasured prey. The terms “gnashed” and “foamed”, simple action words, vividly presents the image of a man desperate in his desire to take possession of his beloved and in his anxiety that someone would come and take her away from him.4.“Tho?/ We are not now that strength which in old days/ Moved earth and heaven;that which we are, we are;/ One equal temper of heroic hearts,/ Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will/ To strive, to speak, to find, and not to yield.”Ref erence: These lines are taken from Alfred Tennyson?s “Ulysses”. In this poem, the old Ulysses is trying to persuade his old followers into setting upon further adventurewith him again. in these lines, he argues that great strength they used to have in their past glorious days, they still have the same strong will and the same heroic spirit to go on struggling and seeking new knowledge until the end of their life. his undying heroic spirit is admirable, indeed.5.“I repeat,/ The Count your master?s known mu nificence/ Is ample warrant that nojust pretense/ Of mine for dowry will be disallowed; / Though his fair daughter?s self, as I avowed/ As starting, is my object.”Reference: These lines are taken from Robert Browning?s “My Last Duchess”. The main idea is that even though, as I said at the very beginning, my real interest in the marriage is his beautiful daughter (it should be his niece) herself, my claim of the money and property that must come with the bride can?t be refused by your master, the Count, because he is such a rich man. The statement reveals the Duke?s unashamed greediness for wealth. From his word, the reader can easily come to the conclusion that his real purpose of the second marriage is not for love, but for money. The marriage is conditioned by his demand for profit. The sacred marriage between people has been commercialized by him.。

高一文学评论英语阅读理解30 题1<背景文章>"Jane Eyre" is a remarkable classic of British literature. Written by Charlotte Bronte, this novel has left an indelible mark on the literary world.The theme of "Jane Eyre" is multi - faceted. At its core, it is a story of a young woman's quest for love, independence, and self - respect. Jane, the protagonist, is an orphan who endures a difficult childhood. She faces abuse and neglect at the hands of her relatives and at the boarding school. However, she never loses her sense of self - worth. This theme of a woman's struggle for equality and dignity was quite revolutionary during the Victorian era when the novel was written.The character - building in the novel is masterful. Jane Eyre is a complex and well - rounded character. She is intelligent, passionate, and strong - willed. Her love for Mr. Rochester is not a simple, girlish infatuation. It is based on mutual understanding and respect, at least in her perception. Mr. Rochester, on the other hand, is a brooding and somewhat mysterious figure. He has his own dark past, which adds depth to his character.The literary style of Bronte is evocative and engaging. Her descriptions of the English moors, the gloomy Thornfield Hall, and theaustere Lowood School are vivid. She uses a rich vocabulary and complex sentence structures that draw the reader into the world she has created. For example, her descriptions of the landscapes not only set the scene but also reflect the mood of the characters.The novel also reflects the social norms and values of the Victorian society. It shows the strict class divisions, the limited opportunities for women, and the importance of propriety. Jane's journey from a penniless orphan to a self - sufficient woman challenges the existing social order.In the history of literature, "Jane Eyre" is of great significance. It is one of the early works that give a voice to women. It has inspired countless other works that deal with themes of female empowerment, love, and social justice.1. What is the main theme of "Jane Eyre" according to the passage?A. A young woman's pursuit of wealth.B. A young woman's search for love, independence and self - respect.C. A story about a family's secrets.D. A tale of revenge.答案：B。

For the “benefit”of exercise, Oliver was whipped every morning in a stoneyard; for the “pleasure”of society, he was carried every other day into the dining hall and flogged as a public warning and example to the boys; and as for the “advantages” of religious c onsolation, he was kicked into the same apartment everyevening at prayer time and listened to the boys‟ prayer to be guarded against his sins and vices.C. The ironic statement is, in fact, a bitter denunciation and fierce attack at thebrutal, inhuman treatment of the poor orphan by the workhouse authority. 45．“ …My boy!‟ said the old gentleman, leaning over the desk. Oliver sta rted at the sound. He might be excused for doing so, for the words were kindly said, and strange sounds frighten one.

She recognizes the follies of her own family and their shortcomings as well as their virtues．E．She is considerate of others but quite capable of asserting herself when occasion demands．She has a playful and unaffected manner，sunny disposition，natural animation，sense of fun，and sweet reasonableness．She is ready to laugh at herself and everything save "What is Wise and good．"She shows a sense of humor by telling what Darcy has said about her at the Meryton ball2.(200604) Under the influence of the leading romantic thinkers life Kant and the Post-Kantians, Romanticistsdemonstrated a strong reaction against the dominant modes of thinking of the 18th-century’s Neoclassicists. Discuss, in relation to the works you know, the difference between Romanticism and Neoclassicism.Answer:A. Neo-classicists upheld that artistic ideals should be order, logic, restrained emotion and accuracy, and that literature should be judged in terms of its service to humanity, and thus, literary expressions should be of proporti on, unity, harmony and grace. Pope’s An Essay on Criticism advocates grace, wit, and simplicity in language; Fielding’s Tom Jones helped establish the form of novel; Gray’s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard displays elegance in style, unified structure, serious tone and moral instruction.B. Romanticists tended to see the individual as the very center of all experience, including art, and thus, literary work should be “spontaneous overflow of strong feelings,” and no matter how fragmentary those experiences were (Wordsworth’s “I Wandered as a Cloud,’’ or “The Solitary Reaper,” or Coler idge’s “Kubla Khan”), the value of the work lied in the accuracy of presenting those unique feelings and particular attitudes.C. In a word, Neo-classicism emphasized rationality and form but Romanticism attached great importance to the individual’s mind (emotion, imagination, temporary experience…) .3.(201007) Please elaborate Wordsworth's theory of poetry, taking examples from the poems you havelearned to support your ideas.Answer:A.Wordsworth defines poetry as “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings, which originates inemotion recollected in tranquillity”. (Take “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” as an example. See PPT).B.Wordsworth also maintained that the scenes and events of everyday life and the speech of ordinary peoplewere the raw material of which poetry could and should be made. (Take “The Solitary Reaper”as an example. See page 178 & PPT).。
