考研英美文学必做9道题
1.What is in the book “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” that makes
Hemingway say that all modern American literature comes from this book?
(这个题找了2个小时，实在是找不到了。看看下面的会不会有所帮助) (海明威写的Green Hills of Africa中的原文)All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. If you read it you must stop where the Nigger Jim is stolen from the boys. That is the real end. The rest is just cheating. But it's the best book we've had. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.
The best work that Mark Twain ever produced is, as we noted earlier on, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It tells a story about the United States before the Civil War, around 1850, when the great Mississippi Valley was still being settled. Here lies an America, with its great national faults, full of violence and even cruelty(n. 残酷；残忍；残酷的行为), yet still retaining the virtues of …some simplicity, some innocence(n. 清白，无罪；天真无邪), and some peace.? The story takes plac e along the Mississippi River, on
both sides of which there was unpopulated(adj. 无人居住的) wilderness(n. 荒地) and a dense forest(密林). It relates the story of the
escape of Jim from slavery and, more important, how Huck Finn, floating along with him and helping him as best he could, changes his mind, his prejudice about black people, and comes to accept Jim as a man and as a close friend as well.
At the heart of Twain?s achievement(n. 成就；完成；达到) is his creation of Huck Finn, who embodies(v t. 体现) that mythic(adj. 神话的；虚构的) America, midway(n. 中途；娱乐场adj. 中途的adv. 中途) between the wilderness and the modern super state.
2.Is Mr. Bennett in “Pride and P rejudice” a positive figure? Why or why not?
(这是原题答案，第一句为第一问，剩下的是第二问)
Mr. Bennet?s chief characteristics are an iron ic detachment(n. 分离，拆开；超然；分遣；分遣队) and a sharp, cutting wit. The distance that he creates between himself and the absurdity(n.荒谬的言行；谬论；) around him often endears(v t. 使…受钟爱；使…亲密) him to the reader and parallels the amused detachment with which Austen treats ridiculous(adj. 可笑的；荒谬的) characters such as Mr. Collins and Lady Catherine. To associate the author?s point of view with that of Mr. Bennet, however, is to ignore his ultimate failure as a father and husband. He is endlessly witty(adj. 诙谐的；富于机智的), but his distance from the events around him makes him an ineffective parent. Detached humor may prove useful for handling the Mr. Collinses of the world, but it is helpless against the depredations(n. 掠夺；破坏，破坏痕迹) of the villainous (but likable) Wickham. When the crisis of Lydia?s elopement(n. 私奔；潜逃) strikes, Mr. Bennet proves unable to handle the situation. Darcy, decent(adj. 正派的；得体的；) and energetic(adj. 精力充沛的；积极的；有力的), and the Gardiners, whose intelligence, perceptiveness, and resourcefulness(n. 足智多谋) make them the strongest adult force in the novel, must step in. He is a likable(adj. 可爱的), entertaining character, but he never manages to earn the respect of the reader.
3.Discuss the theme of Fitzgerald’s "The Great Gatsby".(at least 200 words) (两个主题，有上千字，我不知道怎么概括，我把对每个主题描述的第一段话写在下面了)
1) The Decline of the American Dream in the 1920s
On the surface, The Great Gatsby is a story of the thwarted(v. 挫败（thwart的过去分词）；反对adj. 挫败的) love between a man and a woman. The main theme of the novel, however, encompasses a much larger, less romantic scope(n. 范围；余地；视野；眼界；导弹射程v t. 审视). Though all of its action takes place over a mere few months during the summer of 1922 and is set in a circumscribed(adj. 外接的；局限的；受限制的) geographical area in the vicinity of Long Island, New Y ork, The Great Gatsby is a highly symbolic meditation(n. 冥想；沉思，深思) on 1920s America as a whole, in particular the disintegration(n. 瓦解，崩溃；分解) of the American dream in an era of(在…时期) unprecedented(adj. 空前的) prosperity and material excess.
2) The Hollowness of the Upper Class
One of the major topics explored in The Great Gatsby is the sociology(n. 社会学) of wealth, specifically, how the newly minted(adj. 刚完成的；刚制作的v. 铸造；发明；铸币（mint的过去分词）) millionaires(n. 百万富翁) of the 1920s differ from and relate to the old aristocracy(n. 贵族) of the country?s richest families. In the novel, West Egg and its denizens represent the newly rich, while East Egg and its denizens(n. 居民), especially Daisy and Tom, represent the old aristocracy. Fitzgerald portrays(v t. 描绘；扮演) the newly rich as being vulgar(n. 平民，百姓adj. 粗俗的；通俗的；本土的), gaudy(adj. 华而不实的), ostentatious(adj. 招摇的；卖弄的；夸耀的), and lacking in social graces and taste. Gatsby, for example, lives in a monstrously ornate mansion(十分华丽的豪宅), wears a pink suit, drives a Rolls-Royce, and does not pick up on subtle(adj. 微妙的；精细的；敏感的；狡猾的；稀薄的) social signals, such as the insincerity(n. 伪善；无诚意) of the Sloanes? invitation to lunch. In contrast, the old aristocracy possesses grace, taste, subtlety, and elegance(n. 典雅；高雅), epitomized by the Buchanans? tasteful hom e and the flowing white dresses of Daisy and Jordan Baker.
4.Discuss how Sister Carrie embodies Dreiser’s naturalism belief. (at least 200
words)
In Sister Carrie Dreiser expressed his naturalistic pursuit by expounding the purposelessness of life and attacking the conventional(adj. 符合习俗的，传统的；常见的；惯例的) moral standards.
Sister Carrie best embodies Dreiser?s naturalistic belief that men are controlled and conditioned by heredity(n. 遗传，遗传性), environment and chance, but a few extraordinary and unsophisticated(adj. 纯洁的；不精细的；天真无邪的) human beings refuse to accept their fate(n. 命运v t. 注定) wordlessly and instead strive(v i. 努力；奋斗；抗争), unsuccessfully, to find meaning and purpose for their existence. Carrie, as one of such, senses that she is merely a cipher(n. 密码；暗号；零) in an uncaring(adj. 心不在焉的) world yet seeks to grasp the mysteries of life and thereby satisfies her desires for social status and material comfort(物质享受). In Sister Carrie, Dreiser expressed his naturalistic pursuit by expounding the purposelessness of life and impotence(n.阳萎；虚弱；无效) of men. As a genre(n. 类型；流派；), naturalism emphasized heredity and environment as important deterministic forces shaping individualized characters who were presented in special and detailed circumstances. At bottom, life was shown to be ironic, even tragi c. Dreiser described earthly existence as “a welter of inscrutable forces,(一大堆的变幻
莫测的力量)” in which was trapped each individual human being. In his words, Man is a “victim of forces over which he has no control.” To him, life is "so sad, so strange, so mysterious and so inexplicable." No wonder the characters in his books are often subject to the control of the natural forces -- especially those of environment and heredity.
5.Say a few words about Mrs. Deborah and Miss Bridget in "Tom Jones".
(Mrs. Deborah就是Mrs. Wilkins？)
In the character of Mrs. Wilkins in Tom Jones, she insists that it would not be "Christian" to protect the foundling (young Tom) Mr. Allworthy finds on his bed, and tells him to leave it at the churchwarden door "it is a good night, only a little rainy and windy, and if it is wrapped up(结束；包起来；全神贯注于) and put in a warm basket, it is two to one but it lives till it is found in the morning (Fielding 33). To Mrs. Wilkins, this is infinitely more Christian than protecting the child of a "strumpet(n. 妓女) who lays her sins(n. 罪恶) at men doors" (33). When Mr. Allworthy is dying, Mrs. Wilkins, Mr. Twackum, and Mr. Square all hypocritically(adv. 伪善地) pretend like they care when they are angry at what is being left to them in Mr. Allworthy will.
Bridget Allworthy Bridget Allworthy is the mother of Blifil and Tom. An unattractive lady who resents beautiful women, Bridget marries Captain Blifil because he flatters(v t. 奉承；谄媚；使高兴) her religious views. Although Bridget's affection wavers between Blifil and Tom as the boys mature(v i. 成熟), she becomes devoted to Tom before her death—largely due to his good looks and gallantry(n. 勇敢；殷勤；).
6.What is the function of the general prologue of "The Canterbury Tales"
The Prologue to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is one of the most important works of literature ever written. Chaucer gives us a wonderful slice of medieval(adj. 中世纪的) society as we meet the colorful characters. Through the characters, the author also makes allusions(n. 暗示；提及) to the controversial topics of the time.
It is the General Prologue that serves to establish firmly the framework for the entire story-collection: the pilgrimage(n. 漫游；朝圣之行) that risks being turned into a tale-telling competition.
The Canterbury Tales is a frame story, a story, or in this case, stories, within another story. In the Prologue, we learn the framework of the plot that weaves the individual tales together: A group of pilgrims(n. 朝圣者；旅行者) meet at the Tabard Inn the night before their trek(n. 艰苦跋涉) to the shrine of Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral.
7.What role do first impressions play in pride and prejudice?
(简要答案)The first impressions are ironic. Darcy sees Elizabeth as not worthy of him and mocks her, and Elizabeth thinks he is too arrogant(adj. 自大的，傲慢的) and cold to like him at all. In the end they fall in love and marry, which is opposite of what a reader would expect; thus it is ironic.
(完全标准答案)Pride and Prejudice is, first and foremost(首要的是), a novel about
surmounting obstacles(越过障碍)and achieving romantic happiness. For Elizabeth, the heroine, and Darcy, her eventual husband, the chief obstacle resides in the book?s original title: First Impressions. Darcy, the proud, prickly(adj. 多刺的；刺痛的；易动怒的；) noble woman?s nephew(n. 侄子), must break free from his original dismissal(n. 解雇；免职) of Elizabeth as “not handsome enough to tempt me,” and from his class-based prejudice against her lack of wealth and family connections. Elizabeth?s first impressions, meanwhile, catalogue Darcy as arrogant and self-satisfied; as a result, she later accepts slanderous(adj. 诽谤的；诽谤性的；中伤的) accusations against him as true.
Both Elizabeth and Darcy are forced to come to grips with(与…争论；与…冲突；认真对待；设法对付；开始搏斗) their own initial mistakes. Structurally, the first half of the novel traces Darcy?s progression to t he point at which he is able to admit his love in spite of his prejudice. In the second half, Elizabeth?s mistaken impressions are supplanted(v t. 代替；排挤掉) by informed realizations about Darcy?s true character. Darcy?s two proposals(n.求婚) to Elizabeth chart the mature development of their relationship. He delivers the first at the mid-point of the novel, when he has realized his love for Elizabeth but has not yet escaped his prejudices against her family, and when she is still in the grip of her first, negative impression of him. The second proposal—in which Darcy humbly(adv. 谦逊地；卑贱地；低声下气地) restates(v t. 重申) his love for her and Elizabeth, now with full knowledge of Mr. Darcy?s good character, happily accepts—marks the arrival of the two characters, each finally achieving the ability to view the other through unprejudiced eyes.
8.What is Allen Poe's contribution to American literature?
A review of Edgar Allan Poe's great contributions to literature, which includes the invention of the modern detective story(现代侦探小说) and mastery of the psychological thriller(n. 惊险小说).
Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allen Poe's contributions to American literature have become increasingly more prominent(adj. 突出的，显著的；杰出的；卓越的) as the years have passed. As short fiction has become a more accepted genre in literary circles, Poe's theories are studied with more passion. Although he lived a rather melancholy(adj. 忧郁的) life, Poe did experience moments of joy, and desired to capture(v t. 俘获；夺得) the beauty through poetic form. Indeed, what he left behind for the literary world was his gifted genus, revealed through his poetry, fiction, and criticism.
9.What does the green light at the end of Daisy's dock symbolize in "The Great
Gatsby" and how do symbols function in the novel? (粗线是第1问答案，波浪线是第2问答案)
Situat ed at the end of Daisy?s East Egg dock and barely visible from Gatsby?s West Egg lawn, the green light represents Gatsby?s hopes and dreams for the future. Gatsby associates it with Daisy, and in Chapter I he reaches toward it in the darkness as a guiding light to lead him to his goal. Because Gatsby?s que st(n. 追求；寻找) for Daisy is broadly associated with the American dream, the green light also symbolizes that more generalized ideal. In Chapter IX, Nick compares the green light to how America, rising out of the ocean, must have looked to early settlers of the new nation.Characters
in The Great Gatsby infuse symbols with meaning—the green light is only a green light, but to Gatsby it becomes the embodiment(n. 体现；化身) of his dream for the future, and it beckons to(召唤) him in the night like a vision of the fulfillment of his desires.
北京外国语大学英美文学专业初试复试备考经验及03
北外英美文学专业初试复试备考经验及 03—06真题 准备考研的时间不长，只有三个月，总结起来两大经验吧，细节和节奏。细节是说考研要做个有心人，要勤看别人的经验，即使不是一个方向的。因为虽然准备的内容不同，但过程都是一样的（讲到底也只有专二不同）。学习别人的经验自己才能避免走别人的弯路，犯别人犯过的错误。节奏是说时间的充分利用，时间不在长短而在效率的高低，要根据自己的情况制定合适的复习计划。在这里给大家小小的鼓励一下：永远不要觉得时间不够用，也永远不要觉得这是不可能完成的的任务。当然要基于自身实力和现实的考虑，我相信大家都明白我的意思。等到真正做到了，你就是那个“传说”。 政治：六十多分没什么经验。。。。。。总的感觉是过线不拉分就好因为进入复试政治和二外就不算分了，不要给自己太大的压力，不要浪费过多的时间，节省下来精力好好看专业。 法语：学校用的是很老的橘黄色皮的《法语》，先复习一遍，把忘掉的知识捡回来。然后把历年真题研究一遍，考察的知识点就那么多，有的题基本没变隔年又考一次。从图书馆借来新大学法语1-3，从头到尾梳理知识点整理笔记。因为知道考什么，所以看得有重点。借书的好处之一就是“书非借不能读也”，借来的总要还，有压力就看得快了，而且借的书都少都有点笔记，看看也是很好的。
基英：分阅读，翻译和写作三个部分。像名字一样就是考察英语的基础，所以投机取巧是不可取的，要稳扎稳打地不间断复习。阅读--每天精读一篇1500字左右的新闻，有用的词句整理出来，有兴趣的段落翻一翻，阅读是最好的输入方式，扩大阅读量不言而喻，也对写作和翻译大有益处。翻译--练了叶子南里面几个靠谱的文章，订在一起没事看看，每翻译一篇都会看到自己逐步的进步，翻译得逐渐成熟。写作—写作看的是内容、结构和语法。虽然在考场上不可能三方面都完美，但是写的时候有这样的意识在脑子里，偏也偏不到哪里去。基础自认为还是不错的，所以每天的复习就是一个routine，保持对英语的娴熟度，主要的精力都集中在复习专业上了。 专业：文学选段匹配+小说分析，今年取消了逻辑题。虽然文学的复习范围没边没沿，文学著作浩如烟海；但是恶俗的讲一句，只要是考试，它就有它的侧重点和一定的规律。文学选段匹配--本着上一原则，我把历年真题找来统计了一下每年考得上都是谁的作品，集中在哪几部作品上。统计过后发现大概十人左右而且都是大家Mark Twain, Charles Dicke ns, Wordsworth…然后就拜读他们的大作就好了。小说的话要先看看写作风格，像总考的adventures of huckleberry finn，如果没读过现读是来不及的，但只要了解马克吐温的写作风格，就会在看到南方方言的第一时间想到他老人家。诗歌

A) In poetry writing, the Romantics employed new theories and innovated new techniques, for example, the preface to the second edition of the "Lyrical Ballads"acts as a manifesto for the new school B)The Romantics not only extol the faculty of Ballads acts as a manifesto for the new school. B) The Romantics not only extol the faculty of imagination, but also elevate the concepts of spontaneity and inspiration. C) They regarded nature as the major source of poetic imagery and the dominant subject. D) Romantics also tend to be nationalistic. 3) The Romantic period is an age of poetry. Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, shelley and Keats are the major Romantic poets.

2016考研英语阅读八大题型解题技巧
2016考研英语阅读八大题型解题技巧 1. 例证题： ①例证题的标记。当题干中出现example, case, illustrate, illustration, exemplify 时。 ②返回原文，找出该例证所在的位置，既给该例子定位。 ③搜索该例证周围的区域，90%向上，10%向下，找出该例证支持的观点。例子周围具有概括抽象性 的表达通常就是它的论点。 注意：举例的目的是为了支持论点或是为了说明主题句。举例后马上问这个例子说明了什么问题?不能用例子中的话来回答这个问题。 ④找出该论点，并与四个选项比较，得出选项中与该论点最一致的答案。 ⑤例证题错误答案设计的干扰特征经常是：就事论事。 ? 即用例子中的某一内容拉出来让你去选。(╳) 要求：在阅读中，遇到长的例子，立即给这个例子定位，即找出起始点，从哪开始到哪结束。 2. 指代题： ①返回原文，找出出题的指代词。 ②向上搜索，找最近的名词、名词性短语或句子(先从最近点开始找，找不到再找次近的，一般答案不会离得太远)。 ③将找到的词、词组或句子的意思代入替换该指代词，看其意思是否通顺。 ④将找到的词、词组或句子与四个选项进行比较，找出最佳答案。 3. 词汇题：“搜索代入”法 ①返回原文，找出该词汇出现的地方。 ②确定该词汇的词性
③从上下文(词汇的前后几句)中找到与所给词汇具有相同词性的词(如一下子找不到就再往上往下找)，代入所给词汇在文章中的位置(将之替换)看语义是否合适 ④找出选项中与代替词意思相同或相近的选相，即答案 注意：a.如果该词汇是简单词汇，则其字面意思必然不是正确答案。 b.考研阅读不是考察字认识不认识，而是考察是否能根据上下文作出正确的判断。 c.词汇题的正确答案经常蕴藏在原文该词汇出现的附近。注意不能靠单词词义直接往下推。 d.寻找时要注意同位语、特殊标点(比如分号，分号前后两句话的逻辑关系不是形式上的并列就是语义上的并列，也就是两句话的意思相同，所以可用其中一句话的意思来推测另一句话的意思从而推出所给词汇含义)、定语从句、前后缀，特别要注意寻找时的同性原则。比如：让猜一个名词词组(动词词组)的意思，我们就向上向下搜索名词词组(动词词组)。 ▲隐蔽型词汇题：题干与原文的某句完全重合，只有一两个词被替换掉。隐蔽型词汇题的做法跟词汇题的做法几乎一样，往上往下找。 4. 句子理解题： ①返回原文找到原句。 ②对原句进行语法和词义的精确分析(找主干)，应该重点抓原句的字面含义。若该句的字面含义不能确定，则依据上下文进行判断。注意：局部含义是由整体决定的。 ③一般来说，选项中的正确答案与原句意思完全相同，只不过用其他英语词汇换种表达而已。 ④句子理解题的错误选项干扰项特征：推得过远。做题时应把握住推的度。 思路：对句子微观分析? 不行就依据上下文? 选择时不要推得过远。 5. 推理题：“最近原则” ①标志：learn, infer, imply, inform ②看是否可以通过题干返回原文或依据选项返回原文。一般要围绕文中的一两个重点进行推理。推理题无论通过题干能不能定位，我们都要把它固化到文章的一两点上。

复旦大学英美文学考研经验 我准备考研比较早，3、4月份就开始了，因为大三课比较多，所以前期复习时间较短，速度有点慢，因此，如果大家已经有目标，建议越早开始越好The early bird catches the worm! ?政治： 暑假开始复习，一直到最后都是跟着肖秀荣老师的书在走，1000题很重要，可以抓很多细节性的知识，建议不要在书上直接写，方便后期反复利用。暑假期间可以先看去年大纲，大概有个印象，最后冲刺时四八套题一定要好好背，今年肖老师大题基本都中了。政治最好每天都分配一定的时间，这一科记得快忘的也快。 ?二外法语： 本科学校教材是新大学法语，我复习用过的资料有：考研必备，二外法语考研综合（肖红），和圣才出版的名校历年二外真题，不过这些书提供的答案有些是错的，大家小心。复习重点还是考研必备，多刷几遍，错题好好整理下来，另外语法基础一定学要扎实了，而且词汇量是一大关，所以平时就要开始积累单词，动词变位尤其重要，而且今年考试第一题居然就是给了10个词写变位。 ?专业课： 复旦英语语言文学专业只给了4本参考书，两本文学方向，两本语言学方向，基英没有复习资料。 基英，考试有三道题，英译汉，汉译英和作文，每项50分。复习是第一项任务是背单词，翻译总得看懂文章。过最好多看英文原著，这样积累的词汇比较牢，我是光背单词书，实际记住灵活用的其实不多。翻译要自己动手练习，然后对照译文学习技巧，过一段时间再练再揣摩。建议，汉译英，张培基先生的书是一定要练，今年直接有原文，平时练习大家可以多学学表达，衔接。英译汉的话就做了做真题，没有太认真练，主要还是积累词汇和用法。至于作文，考前可以用专八作文练练手（改革前最好，专八改革后先要材料概述，不太适合复旦的题型）。基英时间很赶，大家一定要注意时间分配啊。我用的书有：张培基的《英译现代散文选》1和4册，刘士聪《英汉汉英美文翻译与鉴赏》，叶子南《高级翻译理论》以及《英语专业考研英汉互译》。 最后是语言学，一本是Fromkin的《An introduction to language》,一本是Yule的《The study of language》的书。复习时可以用Y的书开始打基础，这本书相对比较简单，后期复习以F的书为主，主要知识点都在F的书上，一定要多读几遍吃透了，书后的术语汇编很实用，一定要好好背下来，语言学答题很
