R: Unquestionably, A little apartment in Paris, perhaps a villa in the Mediterranean.B: Delightful that would be.But Thornfield would always be there as a retreat from the world.A green haven of peace and love.R: Love, who's talking of love? All a fellow needs is a bit of distraction.A house full of beautiful women every now and then to keep him from brooding on his walls.Peering too closely into the mysteries of his heart.B: That if he has a heart.And sometimes I wonder if you really do have one.R: Have I ever done or said anything to make you believe that I have? If so, I aure you that it was quite unintentional.B: I never said„
R: Never more than at this moment except perhaps when I'm eating my dinner.B: Really Edward, you can be revoltingly coarse, at times.R: It's a very nice point, Blanche.Would you or would you not? Let's begin by considering the significant facts of the case first.Mr.Rochester is revoltingly coarse and is ugly as sin.B：Edward, I„
R: Allow me, my dear Blanche, I repeat as ugly as sin.Second, he flirts sometimes but is careful never to talk about love or marriage.However, this is the third point.Lady Ingrain is somewhat impoverished whereas the revolting Mr.Rochester has an aured income of 8000 a year, and I knew all this.What is the attitude that Mi Blanche may be expected to take, from my experience of the world, I'd surmise that she'd ignore the coarsene etc., until such time„
B: How dare you!R: Now, now, now, horseplay!B: I've never been so groly insulted in all my life!R: Insulted? I merely paid you the enormous compliment of being completely honest.B: Mr.Rochester, you are a boor and a cur.(In the evening Jane is wandering in the garden, when Rochester comes to her.)J: I thought you'd gone.R: I changed my mind.Or rather the Ingram family changed theirs.Why are you crying?

R: Yes, Jane.I have„ er„ West of Ireland.You'll like Ireland, I think.There are such warm-hearted people there.J: It's a long way off, sir.R: From what, Jane? J: From England and from Thornfield.R;Well? J: And from you，sir.R: Yes, Jane.It's a long way.When you get there I'll probably never see you again.We've been good friends, Jane, haven't we? J: Yes, sir.R: Even good friends may be forced to part.Let's make the most of what time is left to us.Let us sit here in peace.Even though we should be destined never to sit here again.Sometimes I have a queer feeling with regard to you, Jane.Especially when you are near me as now.It is as if I had a string somewhere under my left rib.Tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in a corresponding corner of your little frame.And if we should have to be parted, that cord of communion will be snapped.Kind of a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly.As for you, you'd forget me.J: That I never will, sir.You know that.I see the neceity of going but it's like looking on the neceity of death.R: Where do you see that neceity? J: In your bride.R: What bride? I have no bride.J: But you'll have.R: Yes, I will.I will.J: You think I could stay here to become nothing to you.Do you think because I'm poor and obscure and plain that I'm heartle? I have as much soul as you and fully as much heart.And if God had gifted me with wealth and beauty, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you.There, I've spoken my heart now, let me go.R: Jane, Jane...you strange almost unearthly thing.You that I love as my own flesh.J: Don't mock...R: I'm over with Blanche.It's you I want.Answer me Jane, quickly.Say, “Edward.I'll marry you”.Say it, Jane.Say it.J: I want to read your face.R: Read quickly.Say, “Edward.I'll marry you.” 20.Has Mr.Rochester ever been in love with Lady Ingram? How do you know that? 21.Do you think both Jane and Lady Ingrain love Thornfieid? Are their feeling towards Thornfield the same? Give reasons to support your view.22.Mr.Rochester speaks to both Blanche and Jane teasingly, vet to Jane, his words are full of emotions, to Lady Ingram, satire.Write down two sentences respectively from what Mr.Rochester says to Lady Ingram and that to Jane to illustrate this point.Rochester to Lady Ingram:
Rochester to Jane: 23.What do you think Jane will say after Rochester asks her to say that she will marry him? Write down Jane's words and Rochester's reply to give an ending of this scene.Part 2: Questions 24—26(6 points).The following is an extract from Shakespeare's play Hamlet.Read it and paraphrase the underlined parts.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.24.To be or not to be — that is a question.Whether it's nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? to die, to sleep-No more;-and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to.'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished.To die, to sleep;To sleep, perchance to dream.Ay, there's the rub;For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause.25.There's the respect That makes calamity of so long life;For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th' oppreor's wrong, the poor man's contumely, The pangs of disprized love, the law's delay The insolence of office, and the spurns
eThat the patient merit of th unworthy takes.When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life But that the dread of something after death — The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn No traveler returns —puzzles the will.And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? And thus conscience does make cowards of us all And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, 26.And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.Section Ⅳ:Short Story Analysis [25 points] Here is a complete short story, My Wonderful Lousy Poem , written by Budd Schulbery.Read it and answer Questions 27-34.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.(Note: This reading task will be relevant to the writing task in Section V.)
My Wonderful Lousy Poem By Budd Schulbery When I was eight or nine years old, I wrote my first poem.At that time my father was a Hollywood tycoon, head of Paramount Studios.My mother was a prime mover in various intellectual projects, helping to bring “culture” to the exuberant Hollywood community of the 1920's.My mother read the little poem and began to cry.“Buddy, you didn't really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!” Shyly, proud-bursting, I stammered that I had.She poured out her praise.Why, this poem was nothing short of genius!I glowed.“What time will Father be home?” I asked.I could hardly wait to show him.I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for his arrival.First, I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish.Then I crayoned an elaborate border around it that would do justice to its brilliant content.As seven o'clock drew near, I confidently placed it on my father's plate on the dining room table.But my father did not return at seven.Seven-fifteen came.Seven-thirty.The suspense was exquisite.1 admired my father.I like to go to the studio and watch the cuts of his new pictures in his big projection room.He had begun his motion-picture career as a writer.He would be able to appreciate this wonderful poem of mine even more than my mother.But this evening when my father burst in, his mood seem even more thunderous than usual.An hour late for dinner, he could not sit down but circled the long dining room with a Scotch highball in his hand, calling down terrible oaths on his employees.1 can see him now, a big Havana cigar in one hand, highball in the other, crying out against the Fates that had sentenced him to the cruel job of running a Hollywood studio.“Imagine, we would have finished the picture tonight,” my father was shouting.“Instead that moron(stupid person)suddenly gets it into her beautiful, empty little head that she can't play the last scene.So the whole company has to stand there at $ 1000 a minute while this silly little blank, who's lucky she isn't behind the counter of a five-and-ten, walks off the set!And now I have to beg her to come back on Monday!” He wheeled in his pacing, paused and glared at his plate.There was a suspenseful silence.“What is this?” He was reaching for my poem.“Ben, a wonderful thing has happened,” my mother began.“Buddy has written his first poem!And it's beautiful, absolutely amaz—” “If you don't mind, I'd like to decide that for myself,” Father said.I kept my face lowered to my plate as he read that poem.It was only ten lines.But it seemed to take hours.I remember wondering why it was taking so long.I could hear my father breathing.Then I could hear him dropping the poem back on the table.Now came the moment of decision.“I think it's lousy,” my father said.I couldn't look up.My eyes were getting wet.“Ben, sometimes I don't understand you,” my mother was saying.“This is just a little boy.You're not in your studio now.These are the first lines of poetry he's ever written.He needs encouragement.” “I don't know why.” My father held his ground.“Isn't there enough lousy poetry in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet.” They quarreled over it, and I still remember my father's self-defense: “Look, I pay my best writers $ 2000 a week.All afternoon I've been tearing apart their stuff.I only pay Buddy 50 cents a week.And you're trying to tell me I don't have a right to tear apart his stuff if I think it's lousy!” I couldn't stand it another second.I ran from the dining room bawling.Up in my room I threw myself on the bed and sobbed.That may have been the end of the anecdote, but not of its significance for me.Inevitably the family wounds healed.My mother began talking to my father again.My father asked me whether I would like to go to a prizefight-his favorite recreation.I even began committing poetry again, though of course f dared not expose it to my father.A few years later I took a second look at that first poem-, it was a pretty lousy room.After a while, I worked up the courage to show him something new, a primitive short story written in what 1 fancied to be the dark Ruian manner.My father thought it was overwritten but not hopele.I was learning to rewrite and my mother was learning that she could criticize me without crushing me.You might say we were all learning.I was going on 12.But it wasn't until years later that the true meaning of that painful “first poem” experience dawned on me.As I became a profeional writer, doing books and plays and films, it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been to have a mother who said, “Buddy, did you really write this? I think it's wonderful!” and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with, “I think it's lousy.” A writer — in fact every one of us in life needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows;and yet alone it is incomplete, even misleading, finally destructive, without the father force to caution, “Watch.Listen.Review.Improve.” Sometimes you find these opposing forces personified in aociates, friends, loved ones.But finally you must counter-poise these opposites within yourself;first, the confidence to go forward, to do, to become;second, the tempering of rampant self-approval with hardheaded, realistic self-appraisal, the father discipline.Those conflicting but complementary voices of my childhood echo down through the years wonderful„lousy„ wonderful„ lousy — like two powerful, opposing winds buffeting me.I try to navigate my little craft so as not to capsize before either.Between the two poles of affirmation and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to follow my true course.27.What do you think the title means? Who considered the writer's poem wonderful? Who considered it lousy? 28.Why did the author's mother cry when she read the poem? 29.Why did the boy think that his father would be able to appreciate his poem even more than his mother? 30.Was his father in a good mood when he returned? What did he do in the dining room? 31.What had happened at the studio? 32.How did the boy feel when his father said the poem was lousy? What did the boy do when his parents began to quarrel over it? 33.What were they all learning? 34.What did the author realize as he became a profeional writer?
Section Ⅴ: Writing [20 points] In the story of Section IV, the author argues that all of us need “the mother force” and “the father force”.Please write an article of about 150 words to illustrate how you think you should counterpoise these forces within yourself.Give your article a topic and write it on the Answer Sheet.中央广播电视大学2004—2005学年度第二学期“开放本科”期末考试
