Identification of Fragmens.20%1When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affectation for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old manservant —a combined gardener and cook---had seen in at least ten years. Questions:1. Which story is this paragraph taken from?2. Who is the writer of the work?3. Is Miss Emily married or single when she died?2When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things, Either she falls intosaving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse. Of an intermediate balance, under the circumstances, there is no possibility. The city has its cunning wiles, no less than the infinitely smaller and more human tempter. There are large forces which allure with all the soulfulness of expression possible in the most cultured human. The gleam of a thousand lights is often as effective as the persuasive light in a wooing and fascinating eye. Half the undoing of the unsophisticated and natural mind is accomplished by forces wholly superhuman. A Blare of sound, a roar of life, a vast array of human hives, appeal to the astonished senses in equivocal terms. Without a counselorat hand to whisper cautious interpretation, what falsehoods may not these things breathe into the unguarded ear! Unrecognised for what they are, their beauty, like music, too often relaxes, the weaken then perverts the simpler human perceptions.Questions: 1. From which novel is this paragraph taken?2. Who is the author of this novel?3. How do you understand “that cosmopolitan standard of virtue ”?4. Is there any naturalist tendency in this passage?…………….……………..装……………………订………………..线…………….……………..系 班级 课程期 考试，共 页，第2页，共印刷 份, 年 月 日 — 考试，任课教师 拟题3The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
