Directions: In this part of the test, there are two excerpts. Each of the excerpts is followed by three questions. Read the excerpts and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet.

Part A

Success

Success is counted sweetest

Those who ne’er succeed.

To comprehend a nectar

Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple host

Who took the flag today

Can tell the definition,

So clear, of victory,

As he, defeated, dying,

On whose forbidden ear

The distant strains of triumph

Break, agonized and clear.

4.Translate the first stanza into Chinese. (2’)

Part B

I heard the trailing garments of the Night

Sweep through her marble halls!

I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light

From the celestial walls!

I felt her presence, by its spell of might,

Stoop o’er me from above;

The calm, majestic presence of the Night,

As of the one of I love.

I heard the sounds of sorrow and delight,

The manifold, soft chimes,

That fill the haunted chambers of the Night,

Like some old poet’s rhymes.

From the cool cisterns of the midnight air

My spirit drank repose;

The fountain of perpetual peace flows there,--

From those deep cisterns flows.

O holy Night! from thee I learn to bear

What man has borne before!

Thou layest thy finger on the lips of care,

And they complain no more.

Peace! Peace! Orestes-like I breathe this prayer!

Descend with broad-winged flight,

The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, the most fair,

The best-beloved Night!

1.What is the title of the poem? Who is the author?

2.How does the poet personify the Night?

3.What does he learn from her?

V.Identification (20 points, 2 point for each)

Directions: In this part of the test, there are ten excertps. Judge the authors and titles of these works and fill them on the Answer

Sheet.

1.As the door of Mrs. Pocock’s salon was pushed open for him,

the next day, well before noon, he was reached by a voice

with a charming sound that made him just falter before

crossing the threshold. Madame de Vionnet was already on

the field…

2.Let us consider the way in which we spend our lives.

This world is a place of business. What an infinite bustle!

I am awaked almost every night by the panting of the

locomotive. It interrupts my dreams. There is no Sabbath. It

would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is

nothing but work, work, work.

https://www.docsj.com/doc/a58078884.html,e up from the fields father, here’s a letter from our Pete,

And come to the front door mother, here’s a letter from thy

dear son.

4.Thus advance of the enemy had seemed to the youth like a

ruthless hunting. He began to fume with rage and

exasperation. He beat his foot upon the ground, and scowled

with hate at the swirling smoke that was approaching like a

phantom flood.

5.I’m nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?

Then there’s a pair of us—don’t tell!

They’d banish us, you know.

6.I taste a liquor never brewed,

From tankards scooped in pearl;

Not all the vats upon the Rhine

Yield such an alcohol!

7.Now I had often seen pilots gazing at the water and

pretending to read it as if it were a book; but it was a book

that told me nothing. A time came at last, however, when Mr.

Bixby seemed to think me far enough advanced to bear a

lesson on water-reading.

8.Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who

would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the

name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness.

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own

mind…

9.Whether fagged by the three days’running chase, and the

resistance to his swimming in the knotted hamper he bore; or

whether it was some latent deceitfulness and malice in him:

whichever was true, the White Whale’s way now began to

abate, as it seemed, from the boat so rapidly nearing him

once more; though indeed the whale’s last start had not been

so long a one as before.

10.Ah! what pleasant visions haunt me

As I gaze upon the sea!

All the old romantic legends,

All my dreams, come back to me.

VI. Comment. (10 points)

Directions: In this part of the test, you are given two selections. Choose ONE of them and give a comment on the Answer Sheet. Scores will be given according to the content, grammar and the completeness of the related knowledge.

This Is My Letter to the World

This is my letter to the world,

That never wrote to me,--

The simple news that Nature told,

With tender majesty.

Her message is committed

To hands I cannot see;

For love of her, sweet coutrymen,

Judge tenderly of me!

I Hear America Singing

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,

Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,

The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,

The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deck-hand singing on the steamboat deck,

The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,

The wood-cutter’s song, the plowboy’s on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,

The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,

Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,

The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,

Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

(10%) 1-5 CABDE 6-10CDEAB III. Interpreting the following texts. (15%) Passage 1 1.Ezra Pound(2’) 2.This short poem is one of the most famous representative works of Imagist school. In the poem, “the object” to be treated is the faces in that dim and dam context. The impression is brought out most vividly by the single, dominant image of flower petals on a wet, black bough, which serves as the most. (5’) Passage 2 1. Theodore Dreiser. Sister Carrie(2’) 2. (1)The world is cold and harsh to Sister Carrie. Alone and helpless, she moves along like a mechanism driven by desire and catches blindly at any opportunity for a better existence. A feather in the wind, she is totally at the mercy of forces she cannot comprehend, still less to say control. She does not seem to possess what may be called a mora l fiber in her. (4’) (2) Spencer’s influence is seen at its most powerful as to Hustwood’s tragedy. Dreiser’s portrait is an authentic one of the impotent modern man unfit to survive. He cannot help himself in his relationship with Sister Carrie. No respectable job, no handsome income, no genteel family, nothing could overcome his biological need and stop him from returning to savage, atavistic unreason. He thus hovers between being a man and beast in his behavior. He must die. (6’) IV. Explain the following terms(15%) 1.

(1分)Transcendentalism has been defined philosophically as “the recognition in man of the capacity of knowing truth intuitively”. (1分)Transcendentalists place emphasis on the importance of the Over-soul, the individual and Nature. (2分)The most important representatives are Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. (1分) 3. It defines a sense of moral loss or aimlessness. The WWI destroyed the in ocent ideas, many good young men went to the war and died, or returned damaged, both physically and mentally; their moral faith were no longer valid--- they were “Lost.”(2分).
