36、ng to Chaucer s words before he introduces the pilgrims, he judges each one by who they are, what is their degree and their arriving sequence.

37、ilgrims. They are noble for their bravery in the battles and their loyalty to the woman. The Knight told his tragic love story which was treasured by people at that time. So the Knight is the first to tell a tale. This shows the social class at that time. Secondly, according to Chaucer s description

38、, the Knight is in the front of the other entire persons.【试题解析】 (本题考查对坎特伯雷故事集的理解,坎特伯雷故事集是对当时社会的生动刻画,广泛地反映了资本主义萌芽时期的英国社会生活,揭露了教会的腐败、教士的贪婪和伪善,谴责了扼杀人性的禁欲主义,肯定了世俗的爱情生活。可从作品内容本身和当时的社会背景来回答问题。)12 【正确答案】 In Moby-Dick, Ishmael describes Ahab as mad in his narration, and it does indeed seem mad to try to fig

39、ht the forces of nature or God. However, some of the other characters in the novel whom Ishmael labels insane-notably Pip and Gabriel-might be viewed as wise rather than crazy, thus calling into question the possibility of making a clear distinction between sanity and insanity. Gabriel , the prophet

40、 figure aboard the Jeroboam, behaves irrationally and makes a number of ridiculous-sounding predictions. If viewed in a certain light, however, his prophecies sound not like silly attempts to foresee the future but like cleverly phrased efforts to effect change aboard his ship. Gabriel s prophecies

41、are aimed at gaining the crew just treatment from the ship s officers and at avoiding the danger that will come from trying to hunt Moby Dick. Like Ahab, he manipulates the crew s superstitions and religious beliefs in order to gather support. But whereas Ahab s obsession is monomaniacal and selfish

43、iminals(Magwitch)to the poor peasants of the marsh country(Joe and Biddy)to the middle class(Pumblechook)to the very rich(Miss Havisham). The theme of social class is central to the novel s plot and to the ultimate moral theme of the bookPip s realization that wealth and class are less important tha

44、n affection, loyalty, and inner worth. Pip a-chieves this realization when he is finally able to understand that, despite the esteem in which he holds Estella, one s social status is in no way connected to one s real character. Drummle, for instance, is an upper-class lout, while Magwitch, a persecu

45、ted convict, has a deep inner worth. The most important thing about the novel s treatment of social class is that the class system it portrays is based on the post-Industrial Revolution model of Victorian England. Dickens generally ignores the nobility and the hereditary aristocracy in favor of char

46、acters whose fortunes have been earned through commerce. Even Miss Havisham s family fortune is made through the brewery that is still connected to her manor. In this way, by connecting the theme of social class to the idea of work and self-advancement, Dickens subtly reinforces the novel s overarch

47、ing theme of ambition and self-improvement.【试题解析】 (本题考查对远大前程的社会阶级主题的理解和掌握。远大前程最重要的主题是成长主题,社会阶级与其紧密联系,同时又反映了工业革命后作者的价值观,因此可从这两方面分析。) 14 【正确答案】 Hamlet15 【正确答案】 William Shakespeare16 【正确答案】 Hamlet17 【正确答案】 In this famous monologue, Hamlet, facing the dilemma of action and mind, is hesitating whether he

49、答案】 The writer uses the image of “petals“ on another image, that is, “wet, black bough“.21 【正确答案】 The poem is considered one of the leading poems of the Imagist tradition. Written in a Japanese haiku style, Pound s process of deletion from thirty lines to only fourteen words typifies Imag-ism s focus on economy of language, precision of imagery and experimenting with non-traditional verse forms. Pound contrasts the factual, mundane image that he actually witnessed with a metaphor from nature and thus infuses this “apparition“ with vi
