一 I heard the merry grasshopper then sing, The black-clad cricket bear a second part, They kept one tune, and played on the same string, Seeming to glory in their little art. Shall creatures abject thus their voices raise? And in their kind resound their maker’s praise, Whilst I, as mute, can warble forth no higher lays? “Under the cooling shadow of a stately Elm, Close state I by a goodly River’s side, Where gliding streams the Rocks did overwhelm; A lonely place with pleasures dignifi’d. I once that lov’d the shady woods so well, Now thought the rivers did the trees excel, And if the sun would ever shine there would I dwell. “While musing thus with contemplation fed, And thousand fancies buzzing in my brain, The sweet tongu’d Philomel percht o’er my head, And chanted forth a most melodious strain, Which rapt me so with wonder and delight, I judg’d my hearing better than my sight. 题目：the 9th of Contemplations 作者：Anne Bradstreet 赏析： 1. Rhyme royal: sevenline iambic petametre 七行五步抑扬格 2. Rhyme: ababccc 3. Theme: religion 4. 象征：black-clad=death; abject=admitting defeat; maker= god 5. A genuine expression of poetic feeling in the presence of nature. The poem offers the reader an insight into the mentality of the early Puritan pioneering in a new world. The poet heard the grasshopper and the cricket sing, and she searched for her own soul accordingly. 6. She saw sth metaphysical inhering in the physical, a mode of perception which was singularly Puritan 二 It was about this time I conceived the bold and arduous project of arriving at moral perfection. I wished to live without committing any fault at any time; I would conquer all that either natural inclination, custom, or company might lead me into. As I knew, or thought I knew, what was right and wrong, I did not see why I might not always do the one and avoid the other. But I soon found I had undertaken a task of more difficulty than I had imagined. While my care was employed in guarding against one fault, I was often surprised by another; habit took the advantage of inattention; inclination was sometimes too strong for reason. I concluded, at length, that the mere speculative conviction that it was our interest to be completely virtuous was not sufficient to prevent our slipping and that the contrary habits must be broken, and good ones acquired and established, before we can have any dependence on a steady, uniform rectitude of conduct. For this purpose I therefore contrived the following method. In the various enumerations of the moral virtues I had met with in my reading, I found the catalog more or less numerous, as different writers included more or fewer ideas under the same name. Temperance, for example, was by some confined to eating and drinking, while by others it was extended to mean the moderating every other pleasure, appetite, inclination, or

作品选读分析: Passage 1 …Suddenly there shot along the path a wild light, and I turned to see whence a gleam so unusual could have issued—for the vast house and its shadows where alone behind me. The radiance was that of the full, setting, and blood-re moon, which now shone vividly through that once barely-discernible fissure, of which I have before spoken, as extending from the roof of the building, in a zigzag direction, to the base. … Questions: 1.From which short story is this passage taken? Who is the author of this short story? 2.what kind of story is it? What’s features of this kind of story? 3.What’s the symbolic meaning of the “House” and the “Fissure”? Passage 2 “Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space, -- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.”Questions: 1. Which work is this fragment taken from? Who’s the author? 2. What does “Universal Being” refer to? 3. How to appreciate it? Passage 3 The runaway slave came to my house and stopt outside, I heard his motions crackling the twigs of the woodpile, Through the swung half-door of the kitchen I saw him limpsy and weak, And went where he sat on a log and led him in and assured him, And brought water and fill’d a tub for his sweated body and bruis’d feet, And gave him a room that enter’d from my own, and gave him some coarse clean clothes, … Questions: 1. What’s the title of the poem? From which collection of poetry is the poem taken from? 2. What’s the form of the poem? What’s the poet’s writing technique? 3.

The Cask and the Amontillado In a wooden cask many different things can be hold ,such as old wines,poor quality wines or even poisonous liquid. The most important thing is that you won't know what's that exactly. The cask is always concealed under the cold,dark,damp and deep ground and never see the sunlight,no one notice and find it. Montresor is just like a gloomy cask that no one knows his criminal thinking in the brain. He has good capacity so that he planed a careful and deliberate conspiracy. He controlled all the plot and things,just like a cask hold everything in it and nothing could escape from it. In the story,the Amontillado was hold in the cask. The old wine Amontillado,which attracted everyone was very fragrant just like the poor Fortunato. He was rich, respected,admired and beloved. He was proud just like the old wine. He jumped into the deadly trap that Montrestor made for him and never came back like the Amontillado hold in the cask and hidden in the damp dark cellar. But we know that good wine needs no brush. The cask can't hold the fragrance of Amontillado. The old wine could be more fragrant if it's conserved for a longer time. In the end of the story, Montrenstor's plan succeed. He killed Fortunato by blinding him in the cellar,but he hasn't felt any happiness from the revenge. Fortunato was so proud that he hasn't surrendered and begged Montrestor. His arrogance and proud
