一、单项选择题

1 【正确答案】 D

【试题解析】 Most of the novels were first published in serial form，that is，by installment，before theywere fully published in a single book．(参见罗经国编的《新编英国文学选读下》第118页。)

2 【正确答案】 C

流露”；浪漫主义诗人们歌颂自然，崇尚自然，抛弃华丽的藻饰，用最简洁的语言表达最优

美的思想。

7 【正确答案】 A

之歌》)代表其创作的最高峰，后来收录在他的Leaves of Grass(《草叶集》)中。

他的短篇小说着意描写人的内心世界，对表现人的思想病态尤其感兴趣。其后期的短篇小

说，经常充满一种恐怖气氛，情节阴森古怪，令人毛骨悚然。

10 【正确答案】 D

【试题解析】自然主义小说家们推崇生物决定论和适者生存，认为生理遗传和社会环境都是人类社会发展的决定性因素。

二、名词解释

11 【正确答案】 Oscar Wilde: Oscar Wilde(1854 - 1900)is a one of the most accomplished writers in the Victorian Age, the advocator of "art for art' s sake". Wilde demonstrated a breaking away from the conventional well-made plays of the 1870s and 1880s and expressed a satirical and bitter attitude towards the upper-class people in his plays. The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Ernest are regarded as his masterpieces in fiction and drama respectively.

12 【正确答案】 A Modest Proposal; A Modest Proposal is a famous satire written by Jonathan Swift. Assuming the cool tone of an impartial outsider, the author suggests that children of the poor Irish people be sold at one year old as food

for the English nobles. Written with much conciseness and terseness, the "proposal" is by far the most consummate artistic expression of Swift' s indignation toward the terrible oppression and exploitation of the Irish people by the English ruling class.

13 【正确答案】 James Joyce; James Joyce is one of the most prominent literary figures of the first half of the 20th century. His virtuoso experiment in writing has recreated the form of modern novel. All his works have the same setting—Ireland, especially Dublin, and the same subject—the Irish people and their life. His major works include: Dubliners, A portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses.

14 【正确答案】 Transcendentalism; Transcendentalism is a New England movement, which flourished from about 1835 to 1860. Basically religious, it emphasized the role and importance of the individual conscience , and the value of intuition in matters of moral guidance and inspiration. The group of people was also social reformers, including Emerson, Bronson Alcott, Henry David Thoreau and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

15 【正确答案】 The Octopus: The Octopus is a novel by Frank Norris. It describes the raising of wheat in California, and conflict between the wheat growers and a railway company. Inspired by role of the Southern Pacific Railroad, it depicts the tension between the corrupt railroad and the ranchers and the ranchers' League. The book emphasized the control of "forces" such as wheat and railroads over individuals.

三、问答题

16 【正确答案】 Wuthering Heights tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them. It is generally considered one of the most original works. In many aspects, it is unique and has no counterparts in mode as well as in manner of writing.

First, there is the combination of extremely simple, austere and unadorned language with the most mighty and intensified effects. In terms of its intent, it is obviously descriptive-narrative oriented; there is no digressive talk or omniscient analysis or deliberate comment like many other contemporary works, but its narrative form is as confusing as its theme. Despite the trace of the

tradition limit, the personality of intense emotion and an unbounded free spirit of the author prove the most remarkable in the novel. Besides, the novel contains many Gothic and supernatural elements, which adds its uniqueness.

【试题解析】 (本题为开放性题目，可从主题、风格、写作特色、人物等方面进行阐述。)

17 【正确答案】 Moby-Dick is often referred to as "the Great American Novel" and is considered one of the treasures of world literature.

In Moby-Dick, Melville employs stylized language, symbolism, and metaphor to explore numerous complex themes. Through the main character' s journey, the concepts of class and social status, good and evil, and the existence of gods are all examined as Ishmael speculates upon his personal beliefs and his place in the universe.

Moby-Dick is a symbolic work, but also includes chapters on natural history. Major themes include obsession, religion, and idealism versus pragmatism, revenge, racism, sanity, hierarchical relationships, and politics. All of the members of the crew have biblical-sounding, improbable , or descriptive names, and the narrator deliberately avoids specifying the exact time of the events and some other similar details. These together suggest that the narrator is deliberately casting his tale in an epic and allegorical mode. The white whale has also been seen as a symbol for many things, including nature and those elements of life that are out of human control.

2012四川大学考博英语真题及答案详解

四川大学2012考博英语真题及答案详解 阅读 1）Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique—a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born With, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people. When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually: have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? I t was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing a s “substandard”. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说). It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff—it’s brain stuff.” 21. The study of sign language is thought to be _____C___. A) a new way to look at the learning of language B) a challenge to tradi t ional, views on the nature of language C) an approach: to simplifying the grammatical structure of a language D) an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language（C） 22. The, present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by ___C_____. A) a famous scholar in the study of the human brain B) a leading specialist in the study of liberal arts C) an English teacher in a university for the deaf D) some senior experts in American Sign Language（C） 23. According to Stokoe, sign language is _____B___. A) a Substandard language B) a genuine language C) an artificial language D) an international language（B）

川大语言学考博真题

2009年语言学理论 一名词解释。 1.配价： “配价”是当今语法理论体系中最重要的问题之一，所谓“价”（valency），是借用化学中的术语，主要考察某一成分有多少个同现成分，亦即某一成分必须有多少个强制性搭配成分。最早把“价”理论引进语法研究领域的是法国语言学家Lucien Tesnuere，当初是为了研究一个动词能支配多少种不同性质的名词性词语，动词的“价”就就定于动词所支配的不同性质的名词性词语的数目。 配价理论思想认为，动词是一个句子的中心（支配词regissant），它支配着句子中别的成分，而动词本身不受其他任何成分的支配。只接受动词支配的的有“名词词组”和“副词词组”，其中名词词组形成“行动元(actant)”，副词词组形成“状态元(circonstant)”。从理论上说，句子中的状态元可以是无限多，但行动元不得超过三个，即主语、宾语1和宾语2。由此可以将动词分为一价动词、二价动词和三价动词。 动词有配价的问题，后来经过研究，发现形容词和名词等也有配价问题。我们可以说：利用动词与不同性质的名词之间、形容词与不同性质的名词之间、名词中隐含谓词与不同性质的名词之间的配价关系来研究、解释语法现象，这种研究和分析的手段就称之为“配价分析”。 根据配价分析理论，汉语中的动词可以分为零价动词，表自然现象的词；一价动词，即一般的不及物动词；二价动词，即一般的及物动词；三价动词，即双宾动词。 在中国最早利用配价理论与方法来研究汉语的是朱德熙先生关于“动词语+的”结构的分析。利用配价理论及方法我们可以对汉语中的一些歧义现象进行分析，也可一解释一些用其他理论不好解释或不能完善解释的语法现象。 关于配价的性质长期以来有几种不同的观点： 一是认为配价是建立在句法基础上的语法范畴。以句法概念来说明

2014年四川大学博士生英语入学考试真题(附答案)

川大考博英语2014年真题 I．Reading Comprehension (30%; one mark each) Directions: Read the following six passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing [A], [B], [C], or [D]. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet. Passage One In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic management in which man becomes a small,well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, Nell-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “huma n-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management. The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction of interesting life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings. Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again-by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness. Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems the never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system form, a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maxima, production and consumption are ends in themselves, into a humanist industrialism in which man and full

(推荐)四川大学博士研究生入学考试英语试题

四川大学2005年博士研究生入学英语考试题 Passage 1 As the horizons of science have expanded, two main groups of scientists have emerged. One is the pure scientist; the other, the applied scientist. The pure or theoretical scientist does original research in order to understand the basic laws of nature that govern our world. The applied scientist adapts this knowledge to practical problems. Neither is more important than the other, however, for the two groups are very much related. Sometimes, however, the applied scientist finds the "problem" for the theoretical scientist to work on. Let's take a particular problem of the aircraft industry: heat-resistant metals. Many of the metals and alloys which perform satisfactorily in a car cannot be used in a jet-propelled plane. New alloys must be used, because the jet engine operates at a much higher temperature than an automobile engine. The turbine wheel in a turbojet must withstand temperatures as high as 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit, so aircraft designers had to turn to the research metallurgist for the development of metals and alloys that would do the job in jet-propelled planes. Dividing scientists into two groups is only one broad way of classifying them, however. When scientific knowledge was very limited, there was no need for men to specialize. Today, with the great body of scientific knowledge, scientists specialize in many different fields. Within each field, there is even further subdivision. And, with finer and finer subdivisions, the various sciences have become more and more interrelated until no one branch is entirely independent of the' others. Many new specialties --geophysics and biochemistry, for example -- have resulted from combining the knowledge of two or more sciences. 1. The applied scientist ______. A. is not always interested in practical problems B. provides the basic knowledge for practice C. applies the results of research to practice D. does original research to understand the basic laws of nature 2. The example given in the passage illustrates how ___. A. pure science operates independently of applied science B. the applied scientist discovers the basic laws of nature C. applied science defines all the areas in which basic research is done D. applied science suggests problems for the basic scientist 3. The problem discussed in the second paragraph called for____. A. selecting the best hear-resistant metal from existing metals B. developing a turbine wheel capable of generating heat up to 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit C. developing metals and alloys that would withstand terrific temperatures
