Another problem raised by Charlotte in the novel is the position of woman in society.Jane Eyre, the heroine of the novel,maintains that women should have equal rights with men.Jane Eyre is an orphan child with a fiery spirit and a longing to love and be loved.She is poor and plain,but she dares to love her master,a man superior to her in many ways.As a little governess,she is brave enough to declare to the man her love for him.She cuts a completely new women image.
(c)She represents those middle-class working women who are struggling for recognition of
their basic rights and equality as a human being.
3.As a woman of exceptional intelligence and life experience,George Eliot shows a particular
concern for the destiny of women,especially those with great intelligence,potential and social aspirations.In her mind,the pathetic tragedy of women lies in their very birth.Their inferior education and limited social life determine that they must depend on men for sustenance and realization of their goals,and they have only to fulfill the domestic duties expected of them by the society.Their opportunities of success are not even increased by wealth.
4.(a)Tess is a beautiful,innocent peasant girl.The poverty of the family forces her to claim
kinship with the sham but rich D’Urbervilles.Alec,the young master of the D’Urbervilles,a dandy,seduces Tess and impregnates her.Tess returned home and later gives birth to a baby,who dies soon.People’s opinion forces Tess to leave home to work on a dairy farm.There she meets Angel Clare,son of a clergyman.The two fall in love with each other.On their wedding night, Angel makes a confession about his past dissipation and is readily forgiven by Tess,but when Tess reveals her own past,Angel just wouldn’t forgive her and deserts her that very night.
Helpless and hopeless,Tess has to wander from place to place,doing the hardest work and bearing the hardest insult.When her father’s death transfers the whole burden of the family on her,she is forced to go back to Alec,now a preacher.Before long,the repentant Angel returns from abroad.
Tess,putting all the blames of her unhappiness on Alec,kills him.She flees with Angel but is caught by the police and hanged.
(b)Tess is actually a victim of her society.Hardy created the heroine Tess in Tess of the
D’Urbervilles just to criticize the society in his time.Hardy’s works are known as“novels of character and environment”.Tess is a tragic figure simply because she is not accepted by the society in which agriculture is menaced by the forces of invading capitalism.So in a way,we say, Tess’s fate is decided by her society.
5.The best-depicted characters of Charles Dickens can be classified into three types:
(a)the innocent,persecuted,helpless child characters such as Oliver Twist,Little Nell,David
Copperfield,and Little Dorrit;
(b)The horrible and grotesque characters such as Fagin,Bill Sikes,and Qulip;
(c)The humorous and comic figures like Mr.Micawber,Sam Weller,and Mrs.Camp.

4.North of Boston
5.Freud
6.Wallace Stevens
7.Tortilla Flat8.A Game of Chess;What the Thunder said
9.Death of a Salesman
B. 1.(a)The Imagist Movement flourished from1909to1917and involved quite a number of British and American writers and poets.(b)This is a movement that advanced modernism in arts which concentrated on reforming the medium of poetry as opposed to Romanticism.As one of the leaders of the Imagists,Ezra Pound laid down three main principles:direct treatment of poetic subjects,elimination of merely ornamental or superfluous words,and the rhythmical composition in the sequence of the musical phrase rather than in the sequence of a metronome.“The point of Imagism,”Pound wrote in1914,“is that it does not use images as ornaments.The image itself is the speech.The image is the word beyond formulated language.（c）Ezra Pound’s In a Station of the Metro is a typical work of the Imagist Movement.
2.（a）The term refers to a movement in Germany very early in the20th century(1905)in which a number of painters sought to avoid the representation of external reality and,instead,to project themselves and a highly personal vision of the world.In fine arts it involves such techniques as exaggerating or distorting forms and applying intensified colors to express emotion.
(b)In literature expressionism involves the presentation of life and world through intensified impressions and moods of characters.Expressionism is a reaction against realism or naturalism, aiming at presenting a post-war world violently distorted.Often emphasized emotions,subjective reactions of characters and symbolic or abstract representations of reality are apparent in such literature.(c)Works noted for expressionism include:Eugene O’Neill’s The Emperor Jones, James Joyce’s Ulysses and Finnegans Wake,and T.S.Eliot’s The Waste Land,etc..(d)In a further sense,the term is sometimes applied to the belief that literary works are essentially
expressions of their authors3.(a)Imagism came into being in Britain and U.S.around1910as a reaction to the traditional English poetry to express the sense of fragmentation and dislocation.(b) The imagists,with Ezra Pound leading the way,hold that the most effective means to express these momentary impressions is through the use of one dominant image.The image is a representation of a physical object,and the reader is made to react to it.(c)Imagism is characterized by the following three poetic principles:a)direct treatment of“the thing”,whether subjective or objective;b)to use absolutely no word that does not contribute to the presentation;c) as regards rhythm,to compose in the sequence of the musical phrase,not in the sequence of metronome.(d)Ezra Pound’s In a Station of the Metro is a well-known imagist poem.
4.Determinism is the philosophical belief that events are shaped by forces beyond the control of human beings.Determinism,important to the literature at the end of the19th century,assigns control especially to heredity and environment,without seeking their origins further than science can trace.Determinism usually leads to the tragic fate of the characters in novels.
5.(a)The term Postmodernism is used to describe certain tendencies in post-World WarⅡliterature.(b)Continuing the narrative experiments of the modernists,the first generation of postmodernists produced texts that simultaneously questioned and violated the conventions of traditional narrative.The fragmentation,inter-textuality,and discontinuity which characterize the experimental modernist and postmodernist literature find a kind of fulfillment in the inherently fragmented,inter-textual,and discontinuous form of“hypertext”,a computer-generated web text with multiple branching links.（c）Postmodernism is fully exemplified in the works of Kurt V onnegut,Thomas Pynchon,John Barth and John Fowles.

D. 1.A.The poem is called A Pact by Ezra Pound.
B.“you”refers to Walt Whitman.
C.“broke the new wood”means“made experiments with the conventions of the traditional poetry”and“commerce”means“the exchange of views,attitudes,etc..”
2.A.The author is F.Scott Fitzgerald and the title of the work is The Great Gatsby.
B.It means a pile of objects that have been put into the shape of a pyramid.
C.It presents a picture of wastefulness and extravagancy.
3.A.The author is Ernest Hemingway and the title of the work is Indian Camp.
B.Different people hold different views towards death,and life is both fragile and tough,it
all depends on different individuals and different situations.
C.Nick feels that he will never die partly because his father is a doctor;if so,then he still
remains in the stage of infancy,and not yet mature.However the whole setting of this ending paragraph is full of hints of an everlasting cycle of life and death.For example,the early morning is both the end of the night and the starting point of the day;and the action of rowing is also a kind of cycle and repetition;moreover there’s also the paradox of the warm lake water in a cold morning and the circle made by the bass,etc..
Then if Nick really realizes that he will never die on the account that life and death are indispensable,we can say that he has gone through his initiation.
4.A.The name of the poem is called The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.
B.It means a long time later from now.
C.When facing two roads that diverge in a wood,the poet has to choose and he chooses the
one less traveled by,and his choice makes his life different from that of others.Here the poet tries to show the importance of choosing a correct way of life.
5.A.It’s Eugene O’Neil’s The Hairy Ape.
B.The tone is gloomy and despairing.
C.Yank is a man of no past glory,no future prospect.And to make the situation worse,he
has no present.His miserable situation is therefore the worst in human history.Yank’s situation is in fact that of modern men in a large sense.
E. 1.(a)Frost’s poems are mostly concerned with his contemplation on nature,and the
relationship between nature and man.These thematic concerns include the beauty,terror and tragedy in nature,as well as the loneliness and poverty of the isolated human being.(b)He learned from the tradition,especially the familiar conventions of nature poetry and of classical pastoral poetry.Frost’s achievement in poetic form is his combination of the traditional verse forms and a clear American local speech rhythm.(c)He uses a simple,plain colloquial language of New England.Most of his poems are dramatic monologues or dialogues of New England speakers.(d) With surface simplicity of his poems,the thematic concerns are always presented in rich symbols.
Frost is good at taking symbols from nature and the limited human world to reveal some profound truth.
2.(a)Most of Faulkner’s works are set in the American South.(b)He emphasizes the
Southern subjects and consciousness in his works.(c)His works have managed successfully to
show a panorama of the experience and consciousness of the whole southern society.
3.(a)Hemingway’s major novels include The Sun Also Rises,A Farewell to Arms,The Old Man and the Sea and so on.(b)His world is limited.He deals with a limited range of characters in quite similar circumstances and measures them against the same code,known as“grace under pressure,”which is actually an attitude towards life that Hemingway had been trying to demonstrate in his works.Those who succeed in the process of seeking to master the code with the honesty,the discipline,and the restraint are Hemingway Code heroes.
4.(a)Ezra Pound is regarded as the father of modern American poetry.Impatient with the fetters of English traditional poetics,he led the experiment in revolutionizing poetry.(b)It was he who first discovered T.S.Eliot and blue-penciled the latter’s famous poem,“The Waste Land”.It was he who helped William Butler Yeats,James Joyce,https://www.docsj.com/doc/2a5329176.html,wrence,and William Carlos Williams in their literary careers.And he survived them all,writing continually right up to his death.Pound’s contribution to the development of modern poetry is very great.
5.(a)Fitzgerald has always been regarded as the spokesman of the Jazz Age,and his masterpiece The Great Gatsby is a vivid description of the time.(b)The Jazz Age is characterized by the moral degeneration.Young people of the1920s had a sense of reckless confidence not only about money but also about life in general.Since they grew up with the notion that the world would improve without their help,they felt excused from seeking the common good.Therefore, they indulged themselves to worldly“happiness”.They clung to the belief of“eat,drink,and be merry”.As we can see in Chapter3,people are engaging in heavy drinking,dancing.They spent money extravagantly,took risk which they did not take as risk,and enjoyed themselves to their hearts

2013年考研英语（一）试题——阅读3 Text 3 Up until a few decades ago, our visions of the future were largely - though by no means uniformly - glowingly positive. Science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all. Now utopia has grown unfashionable, as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us, from asteroid strike to epidemic flu and to climate change. You might even be tempted to assume that humanity has little future to look forward to. But such gloominess is misplaced. The fossil record shows that many species have endured for millions of years - so why shouldn't we? Take a broader look at our species' place in the universe, and it becomes clear that we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of years . Look up Homo sapiens in the "Red List" of threatened species of the International Union for the Conversation of Nature (IUCN) ,and you will read: "Listed as Least Concern as the species is very widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline." So what does our deep future hold? A growing number of researchers and organisations are now thinking seriously about that question. For example, the Long Now Foundation has its flagship project a medical clock that is designed to still be marking time thousands of years hence . Perhaps willfully , it may be easier to think about such lengthy timescales than about the more immediate future. The potential evolution of today's technology, and its social consequences, is dazzlingly complicated, and it's perhaps best left to science fiction writers and futurologists to explore the many possibilities we can envisage. That's one reason why we have launched Arc, a new publication dedicated to the near future. But take a longer view and there is a surprising amount that we can say with considerable assurance. As so often, the past holds the key to the future: we have now identified enough of the long-term patterns shaping the history of the planet, and our species, to make evidence-based forecasts about the situations in which our descendants will find themselves. This long perspective makes the pessimistic view of our prospects seem more likely to be a passing fad. To be sure, the future is not all rosy. But we are now knowledgeable enough to reduce many of the risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans, and to improve the lot of those to come. 31. Our vision of the future used to be inspired by [A] our desire for lives of fulfillment [B] our faith in science and technology

2013 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（二）试题答案与解析 Section I Use of English 一、文章题材结构分析 本文主要分析了无现金社会为何迟迟不来的原因。第一段是文章的中心段落，指出真正的无现金社会很可能不会马 上到来。第二、三段从电子支付设备昂贵、纸质支票提供收据、使用纸质支票能获得浮存利息以及电子支付方式存在的 安全隐私问题四个方面分析纸币系统得以继续存在的理由。 二、试题解析 1．【答案】A （However） 【解析】空前作者讲到“鉴于电子货币的优势,你也许会认为,我们将快速步入无现金社会,实现完全电子支付。”而空后 说“真正的无现金社会很可能不会马上到来”，两者之前出现了明显的转折关系，因此答案A。B. moreover 表递进C. therefore 表结果D. Otherwise 表对比 2．【答案】D （around） 【解析】由空格所在句的“but”得知，句子前后是转折关系。事实上,这样的预测已经二十年了,但迄今还没有实 现。A. off 停止; B. back 返回; C. over 结束，与后文均不构成转折，故答案选D. around 出现。 3．【答案】B （concept） 【解析】空格所在的句子意思为例如, 1975 年《商业周刊》预测电子支付手段不久将“彻底改变货币本身的____”将四 个选项带入，能够彻底改变的对象只能是金钱的概念（定义），而A“力量”,C“历史”,D “角色”，语义都不恰当，并且如 果选择role 的话，应该是复数roles, 因为是金钱的作用不止一个，故答案选B。4．【答案】D （reverse） 【解析】空格填入的动词跟前面的动词revolutionize （变革）意思上应该是同义替换的，要选择含有变革，彻底改 变意思的词汇，四个选项中A. reward 奖励B. 抵抗C. resume 重新开始，继续，都不合适，只有D 选项reverse“颠覆” 最为贴切，本句译为“电子支付方式不久将改变货币的定义,并将在数年后颠覆货币本身。”5．【答案】C （slow） 【解析】根据前面的句意得知，早在1975 年就预测了无现金社会将到来，而实际上作者讲到“真正的无现金社会很可 能不会马上到来”，因此也得出这种变革是一个缓慢的过程，故答案选择C。 A. silent 沉寂的，B. sudden 突然的，D. steady 稳定不变的。 6．【答案】B （against） 【解析】上一段末句提出本段的论点，即人们进入无现金时代的速度缓慢的原因。因此本段应围绕纸币系统不会消 失来阐述。而且由句首的Although 得知，空格所在句与前一句是转折关系。尽管电子支付手段可能比纸币支付方式更加

They even had an affection ate nickname, “uccelli di passaggio,” birds of passage. Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants. We divide nemcomers into two categories: legal or illegal, good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or brand them as aliens fit for deportation. That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigrantion system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We don’t need more categories, but we need to change the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond strick definitions of legal and illegal. To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.
