U n i t2E d g a r A l l a n P o e 1) Who is the narrator What wrong does he want to redress

It is Montresor. Fortunato has given Montresor thousands of injuries that he has to bear before he has this opportunity of taking revenge.

2) What is the pretext Montresor uses to lure Fortunado to his wine cellar

He claims that he has just got a cask of Amontilado and stores it in the wine cellar before he may find a connoisseur to testify to its authenticity.

3) What happens to Fortunado in the end

The deceived Fortunado is killed because of his inability of getting out of the catacomb.

4) Describe briefly how Poe characterizes Mortresor and Fortunado as contrasts.

Poe characterizes Mortresor and Fortunado as seemingly contrasting characters chiefly by presenting their identical habit in wine and their different manners towards each other, but actually he intends to show some similarly defective aspects in their nature. The similarity in their nature is also suggested by their names as synonyms in Italian: Mortresor means “fortune” while Fortunado “treasure”. Their defective nature is highlighted when the revenger Mortresor, who is fully prepared on psychological and operating levels, throws the hardly prepared but totally deceived wrong-doer Fortunado into the deep and damp catacomb and blocks up its entrance with huge rocks. Lecture 4 Nathaniel Hawthorne

Questions : is the prison the setting of Chapter 1

No matter how optimistic the founders of new colonies may be, they are quick to establish a prison and a cemetery in their “Utopia,” f or they know that misbehavior, evil, and death are unavoidable. This belief fits into the larger Puritan doctrine, which puts heavy emphasis on the idea of original sin—the notion that all people are born sinners because of the initial transgressions of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. he is therefore using the prison building to represent the crime and the punishment which are aspect of civilized life

What is the implication of the description of the roses

The rosebush symbolizes the ability of nature to endure and outlast man's activities. The narrator suggests that roses offer a reminder of Nature's kindness to the condemned; for his tale, he says, it will provide either a “sweet moral blossom” or else some relief in the face of unrelenting sorrow and gloom.

the appearance of Hester Prynne and the attitude of the people towards her.

The second paragraph on page crowd in front of the jail is a mixture of men and women, all maintaining severe looks of disapproval. Several of the women begin to discuss Hester Prynne, and they soon vow that Hester would not have received such a light sentence for her crime if they had been the judges. One woman, the ugliest of the group, goes so far as to advocate death for Hester.

has happened to Hester

As a young woman, Hester married an elderly scholar, Chillingworth, who sent her ahead to America to live.

While waiting for him, she had an affair with a Puritan minister named Dimmesdale, after which she gave birth to Pearl.

The scarlet letter is her punishment for her sin and her secrecy.

Why does she make the embroidery of the letter A so elaborate

It seems to declare that she is proud, rather than ashamed, of her sin. In reality, however, Hester simply accepts the “sin” and its symbol as part of herself, just as she accepts her child. And although she can hardly believe her present “realities,” she takes them as they are rather than resisting them or trying to atone for them.

How does this tell us about her character

Throughout The Scarlet Letter Hester is portrayed as an intelligent, capable. It is the extraordinary circumstances shaping her that make her such an important figure.

【关键字】认识、问题、要点 数学归纳法( 一、用数学归纳法证明与正整数有关命题的步骤是: (1)证明当n 取第一个值0n (如01n =或2等)时结论正确; (2)假设当0(N ,)n k k k n *=∈≥ 时结论正确,证明1n k =+时结论也正确. 综合(1)、(2),…… 注意:数学归纳法使用要点: 两步骤,一结论。 二、题型归纳: 题型1.证明代数恒等式 例1.用数学归纳法证明: 证明:①n =1时,左边31311=?=,右边3 1121=+=,左边=右边,等式成立. ②假设n =k 时,等式成立,即: ()()12121217 51531311+=+-++?+?+?k k k k . 当n =k +1时. 这就说明,当n =k +1时,等式亦成立, 由①、②可知,对一切自然数n 等式成立. 题型2.证明不等式 例2.证明不等式n n 21 31 21 1<++++ (n ∈N). 证明:①当n =1时,左边=1,右边=2. 左边<右边,不等式成立. ②假设n =k 时,不等式成立,即k k 2131211<++++ . 那么当n =k +1时, 这就是说,当n =k +1时,不等式成立. 由①、②可知,原不等式对任意自然数n 都成立. 说明:这里要注意,当n =k +1时,要证的目标是 1211 1 31 21 1+<++++++k k k ,当代入归纳假设后,就是要证明:

1211 2+<++k k k . 认识了这个目标,于是就可朝这个目标证下去,并进行有关的变形,达到这个目标. 题型3.证明数列问题 例3 (x +1)n =a 0+a 1(x -1)+a 2(x -1)2+a 3(x -1)3+…+a n (x -1)n (n ≥2,n ∈N *). (1)当n =5时,求a 0+a 1+a 2+a 3+a 4+a 5的值. (2)设b n = a 22n -3,T n = b 2+b 3+b 4+…+b n .试用数学归纳法证明:当n ≥2时,T n =n (n +1)(n -1)3 . 解: (1)当n =5时, 原等式变为(x +1)5=a 0+a 1(x -1)+a 2(x -1)2+a 3(x -1)3+a 4(x -1)4+a 5(x -1)5 令x =2得a 0+a 1+a 2+a 3+a 4+a 5=35=243. (2)因为(x +1)n =[2+(x -1)]n ,所以a 2=C n 2·2n -2 b n =a 22 n -3=2C n 2=n (n -1)(n ≥2) ①当n =2时.左边=T 2=b 2=2, 右边=2(2+1)(2-1)3 =2,左边=右边,等式成立. ②假设当n =k (k ≥2,k ∈N *)时,等式成立, 即T k =k (k +1)(k -1)3 成立 那么,当n =k +1时, 左边=T k +b k +1=k (k +1)(k -1)3+(k +1)[(k +1)-1]=k (k +1)(k -1)3 +k (k +1) =k (k +1)?? ??k -13+1=k (k +1)(k +2)3 =(k +1)[(k +1)+1][(k +1)-1]3 =右边. 故当n =k +1时,等式成立. 综上①②,当n ≥2时,T n =n (n +1)(n -1)3 .

导数典型例题(含答案)

导数典型例题 导数作为考试内容的考查力度逐年增大.考点涉及到了导数的所有内容,如导数的定义,导数的几何意义、物理意义,用导数研究函数的单调性,求函数的最(极)值等等,考查的题型有客观题(选择题、填空题)、主观题(解答题)、考查的形式具有综合性和多样性的特点.并且,导数与传统内容如二次函数、二次方程、三角函数、不等式等的综合考查成为新的热点. 一、与导数概念有关的问题 【例1】函数f (x )=x (x -1) (x -2)…(x -100)在x=0处的导数值为 .1002 C ! 解法一 f '(0)=x f x f x ?-?+→?) 0()0(lim = x x x x x ?--?-?-??→?0 )100()2)(1(lim 0 Λ =lim 0 →?x (Δx -1)(Δx -2)…(Δx -100)=(-1)(-2)…(-100)=100! ∴选D. 解法二 设f (x )=a 101x 101+ a 100x 100+…+ a 1x +a 0,则f '(0)= a 1,而a 1=(-1)(-2)…(-100)=100!. ∴选D. 点评 解法一是应用导数的定义直接求解,函数在某点的导数就是函数在这点平均变化率的极限.解法二是根据导数的四则运算求导法则使问题获解. 【例2】 已知函数f (x )=n n n k k n n n n x c n x c k x c x c c 11212210 ++++++ΛΛ,n ∈N *,则 x x f x f x ??--?+→?) 2()22(lim 0 = . 解 ∵ x x f x f x ??--?+→?) 2()22(lim 0 =2x f x f x ?-?+→?2) 2()22(lim + []x f x f x ?--?-+→?-) 2()(2lim 0 =2f '(2)+ f '(2)=3 f '(2), 又∵f '(x )=1 1 2 1 --+++++n n n k k n n n x c x c x c c ΛΛ, ∴f '(2)= 21(2n n n k n k n n c c c c 222221+++++ΛΛ)=21[(1+2)n -1]= 2 1(3n -1). 点评 导数定义中的“增量Δx ”有多种形式,可以为正也可以为负,如 x m x f x m x f x ?--?-→?-)()(000 lim ,且其定义形式可以是 x m x f x m x f x ?--?-→?) ()(000 lim ,也可以是 00 ) ()(lim x x x f x f x --→?(令Δx =x -x 0得到),本题是导数的定义与多项式函数求导及二项式定理有关 知识的综合题,连接交汇、自然,背景新颖. 【例3】 如圆的半径以2 cm/s 的等速度增加,则圆半径R =10 cm 时,圆面积增加的速度是 .
