Fearless and frank, not rattled by the attack of Lady Catherine de Bourgh, she wins a notable victory, sending her Ladyship away completelyrouted. She is independent but not infallible in her judgment—taken in by the charm of the worthless Wickham. She cannot be blamed for misjudging Darcy. C. She shows flexibility, discernment, and honesty of mind when she reads Darcy' s defense in his letter and admits the justice of much of what he says, thus beginning to lose her prejudice against him. She recognizes and values true worth when she encounters it in Jane, the Gardiners, and, near the end of the novel, in Darcy. She sees more clearly than her father the danger of sending Lydia to Brighton.D.

With the intolerable burden of the duty to revenge his father’s death and the challenge of evil forces, Hamlet seems to withdraw into a mental world which is thrown into a conflict or a choice between life and death.

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.。

What dilemma is the speaker facing?（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(正确答案：A. Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken. B. Life is here compared to a journey. The two roads stand for the choice one has to make at a critical moment in his life. C. Since where the road leads to is uncertain, one has to wait to see the result of the choice until one' s life is coming to an end. Then it will be too late. The speaker acknowledges the limits of life, yet he indulges himself in the notion that we could be really different from what we have become, because life is unpredictable.)解析：二、简答题(总题数：4，分数：8.00)3.Briefly discuss the features of Fielding' s writings.（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(正确答案：Fielding' s language is easy, unlaboured and familiar, but extremely vivid and vigorous. His sentences are always distinguished by logic and rhythm, and his structure carefully planned towards an inevitable ending. His works are also noted for lively, dramatic dialogues and other theatrical devices such as suspense, coincidence and unexpectedness.)解析：4."Let it not be supposed by the enemies of ' the system' , that, during the period of his solitary incarceration , Oliver was denied the benefit of exercise, the pleasure of society, or the advantages of religious consolation.

The sentence is a typical example of irony. What Dickens intends to say is just the opposite of the sentence' s literal meaning. B. For the "benefit" of exercise, Oliver was whipped every morning in a stone yard; 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 consolation, he was kicked into the same apartment every evening at prayer time and listened to the boys' prayer to be guarded against his sins and vices. C. Theironic statement is, in fact, a bitter denunciation and fierce attack at the brutal, inhuman treatment of the poor orphan by the workhouse authority.)解析：5.Please analyze The Waste Land by Eliot.（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(正确答案：A. With bold technical innovations in versification and style, the poem not only presents a panorama of physical disorder and spiritual desolation in the modern Western world, but also reflects the prevalent mood of disillusionment and despair of a whole post-war generation.B. The Waste Land is a poem concerned with the spiritual breakup of a modern civilization in which human life has lost its meaning, significance and purpose. The poem has developed a whole set of historical, cultural and religious themes; but it is often regarded as being primarily a reflection of the 20th-century people' s disillusionment and frustration in a sterile and futile society.)解析：6.Mark Twain and Henry James are two representatives of the realistic writers in American literature.

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 proportion, unity , harmony and grace. Pope' s An Essay on Criticism advocates grace, wit (usually through satire/humour) , and simplicity in language (and the poem itself is a demonstration of those ideals, too) ; 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 Lonely as a Cloud" , or "The Solitary Reaper" , or Coleridge' 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 die individual' s mind ( emotion, imagination, temporary experience...).)解析：8.Please mark a brief comment on Hawthorne' s Young Goodman Brown.（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(正确答案：A. Goodman Brown, a Puritan who lives in the village of Salem, leaves his wife Faith, who pleads him not to go, to attend a witches' Sabbath in the woods. There, heastonishingly finds lots of prominent people of the village and the church. When he is about to be confirmed into the group, he finds his wife Faith is also there beside him. He immediately cries out "look up to Heaven and resist the wicked one" , only to find he is alone in the forest. He returns to his home, but since then lives a dismal and gloomy life because he is never able to believe in goodness or piety again. B. Young Goodman Brown is one of Hawthorne' s most profound tales. In the manner of its concern with guilt and evil, it exemplifies what Melville called the " power of blackness" in Hawthorne' s work. Its hero, a naive young man who accepts both society in general and his fellow men as individuals worth his regard, is confronted with the vision of human evil in one terrible night, and becomes thereafter distrustful and doubtful.
