部编版九年级语文下册第13课《威尼斯商人》课后练习题(附答案解析)

部编版九年级语文下册第13课《威尼斯商人》课后练习题(附答案解析)一、知识点拨与学法引导(一)整体感知课文节选自英国著名戏剧家莎士比亚的一部著名喜剧《威尼斯商人》的第四幕第一场,是全剧的高潮。
这场戏描写了威尼斯法庭审判“割一磅肉”的契约纠纷案件的经过,以鲍西娅上场为转机分为两部分,前半场主要是夏洛克的戏,后半场主要是鲍西娅的戏。
这场戏的故事情节并不复杂,却写得波澜起伏,扣人心弦,结构严谨完整。
简洁紧凑得就象一出独幕剧一样。
每一个登场人物都有自己的面貌和个性。
作者善于在矛盾冲突中刻划人物性格,随着事件的变化,人物的思想也在变化,这是这场戏在描绘人物性格上的显著特点。
(二)学法引导1、阅读课文,着重理清戏剧冲突中情节发展的过程,口述课文的故事梗概;认识文中几个主要人物的思想性格,明确这篇戏剧所反映的社会生活;体会剧本中所用的“夸张”“悬念”“对比”“突转”等戏剧技巧,以及个性化的人物语言。
2、课外查找资料,了解莎士比亚的生平和对戏剧文学的巨大贡献,了解他的一些重要作品,进一步感受莎士比亚戏剧的艺术风格品味本文语言的诙谐生动、优美流畅。
(三)审美鉴赏优美动人,含义隽永的比喻。
节选的剧本语言优美动人,含义隽永,这和作者在戏剧语言里自如地运用多种修辞手法,尤其是生动、贴切的比喻分不开。
如,安东尼奥说“我是羊群里一头不中用的病羊,死是我的应分,最软弱的果子最先落到地上,让我也就这样结束了我的一生吧”。
病羊的比喻形象而又真切地勾勒出他那软弱的性格,“果子落地”一句仿佛使我们看到了他面临的悲惨遭遇。
这样的比喻通俗晓畅,既符合人物的性格、紧扣剧情,又体现了作者广博的学识,敏锐的观察能力。
(四)重点难点突破1 、课文中贯穿全剧的矛盾冲突是什么?主题思想是什么?[析]这道题意在引导学生理清剧情,理清贯穿全剧的矛盾线索,理解剧本所表达的中心。
[参考答案] 贯穿全剧的矛盾冲突是:高利贷商人夏洛克与威尼斯商人安东尼奥的矛盾冲突。
《威尼斯商人》问题探究

《威尼斯商人》问题探究1、作者莎士比亚在安东尼奥、鲍西娅等人身上寄予了什么?寄予了人文主义者的纯洁无私、轻利重义的道德理想。
2、《威尼斯商人》一文中公爵说:“你如此一点没有慈善之心,今后如何能够期望人家对你慈善呢?”这一句对情节的进展起了什么作用?如此说是对情节进展的一个暗示,说明了夏洛克最终可不能有什么好结局。
3、阅读全剧,说说莎士比亚对夏洛克这一人物持什么样的态度?作者成功地塑造了夏洛克如此一个极端利己的高利贷者的形象,作者莎士比亚恨夏洛克的冷酷无情,同时通过夏洛克,又为一切受民族与宗教鄙视的犹太人鸣不平,表达了作者资产阶级人道主义的立场。
4、如何样认识这场戏的喜剧性?提示:这场戏的情节富有奇特的浪漫色彩,大开大合,紧张曲折,专门有喜剧性。
剧中有夸张(如夏洛克提出割一磅肉的荒唐要求;鲍西娅对“割一磅肉”的法律说明;鲍西娅与尼莉女扮男装和夫君同时出庭,夫君却不明真相)、对比(安东尼奥、公爵等人的宽恕仁慈与夏洛克的顽固凶残)、悬念、突转(鲍西娅抓住契约中的破绽降服夏洛克,使冲突朝有利于安东尼奥的方向进展)等戏剧技巧的圆熟运用,有仁慈与残酷,友谊和仇恨,复仇和报应之间的尖锐对立以及情节进展的波澜起伏、出人意料,充满着极强的张力,充分显示了莎士比亚的戏剧才能。
6、世界文学画廊中,有四大吝啬鬼形象,夏洛克是其中之一,你明白另外的三个吗?课外了解这几个人物形象,说说他们吝啬的表现有什么不一样?(本题旨在引导学生通过课外拓展阅读,加深对夏洛克那个人物形象的认识。
)另外三个是法国戏剧家莫里哀的喜剧《悭吝人》中的阿巴贡,法国小说家巴尔扎克的小说《欧也妮·葛朗台》中的葛朗台,俄国作家果戈里的小说《死魂灵》中的泼留希金。
阿巴贡、葛朗台、泼留希金的性格比较单一,确实是吝啬。
而夏洛克的性格要紧方面因此是吝啬,但他同时还爱女儿,对作为犹太人所受到的鄙视和侮辱满怀愤慨,因此他的性格是丰满的、复杂的,是活生生的。

安东尼奥手头上暂时也无法拿出这么多钱。于是 他被迫向一个富有的犹太放债人夏洛克借这笔钱。 安东尼奥和夏洛克都不喜欢对方:对于安东尼奥 来说,他看不起放高利贷的,另一方面,他不喜 欢夏洛克也因为他是犹太人;对于夏洛克来说, 安东尼奥借钱给人从不收利息,这样就损害了他 的利益。 • 尽管如此,在这种情况下,夏洛克还是同意借钱 给安东尼奥,而且也不收他的利息;但是夏洛克 提出了一个奇怪的要求:如果安东尼奥拖欠还款 的话,他将会从安东尼奥身上割下一磅肉。

One of his friends, Bassanio, owed him money and thought he could repay his debt if he could court and marry Portia, a rich young lady in Belmont. He asked Antonio to lend him more money, but Antonio d idn’t have enough. He was expecting his ships to return soon, so he encouraged Bassanio to borrow money from a moneylender, and agreed to guarantee the loan.Chapter 2In Belmont, Portia received a number of suitors who wanted to marry her. She d idn’t like any of them. Before her father died, he made a rule that anyone who wanted to marry her had to choose one of three boxes. If he chose the right box, he could marry her, but if he chose the wrong box, he must never marry anyone. None of her suitors dared to choose a box.Chapter 3Antonio and Bassanio went to Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, to borrow some money from him. Shylockd idn’t like Antonio and didn’t really want to help him or his friend, but decided to lend them money in case he had the chance to hurt Antonio in some way. He made Antonio promise to give one pound of his flesh if he could not repay the money on time. Antonio agreed because he thought that his ships would return in time and he would have enough money by then.Chapter 4The Prince of Morocco came to visit Portia and told her about his wealth and his courage. He told her that he had fought in many battles. He liked her and decided to choose a box. He knew that if he chose the wrong box he would never be able to marry anyone. He wanted to choose a box immediately, but Portia told him they would have dinner first.Chapter 5Shylock’s servant Lancelot was a strange man. He me t his blind father and told him that his son was dead. Gobbo, his father, believed him and Lancelot had to tell him the truth. Lancelot did not like working for Shylock, and wanted to work for Bassanio instead. He persuaded his father to help him, and he got a job with Bassanio.Chapter 6Bassanio decided to have a party when he got the money from Shylock. His friends planned to have a masked parade at the party. One of them, Lorenzo, wa s in love with Shylock’s daughter Jessica, and planned to run away with her on the night of the party. Lancelot took letters from Lorenzo to Jessica and from Jessica to Lorenzo. Bassanio invited Shylock to come to the party and Shylock accepted, although he was worried that7something would go wrong that night. He told Jessica to lock the doors and not let anyone into the house. Jessica took some money and jewels and ran away with Lorenzo. The party ended early because the wind had changed and the ship to Belmont was leaving earlier than expected. Bassanio and Graziano sailed to Belmont.Chapter 7The Prince of Morocco looked at the three boxes. One was made of gold, another of silver and the third of lead. Each of them had some writing on it to help him choose the right one. He chose the gold box because it was the best-looking box. Inside the box was a dead animal and some writing. It said that you should not trust in outward appearance. It was the wrong box, and he went away sad.Chapter 8Shylock was very angry because his daughter had run away with a Chrisitan, and because she had stolen his money and jewels. Antonio’s friends reali zed that he would take revenge on Antonio if he could. A ship sank in a storm near England. Salerio hoped that it was not one of Antonio’s ships.Chapter 9The Prince of Aragon visited Portia and decided to choose a box. He looked carefully at the boxes and read the writing on each one. He chose the silver box, because the writing said that he would get what he deserved. He thought that he deserved Portia, but he d idn’t. It was the wrong box, and he went away disappointed.Chapter 10Antonio’s ships were all sinking and he had no money to repay Shylock. Shylock was very angry because Jessica was wasting the money she had stolen from him. When he heard Antonio’s bad news, he was happy, because now he could take Antonio’s flesh. He th ought that Antonio hated him because he was a Jew, and he told his friends that Jews were people just like Christians.Chapter 11Bassanio visited Portia and they fell in love.

Shylock would not change his mind.Chapter 14Portia and Nerissa arrived in Venice disguised as men.

威尼斯商人阅读练习题集团文件发布号:(9816-UATWW-MWUB-WUNN-INNUL-DQQTY-
文段阅读巴萨尼奥:初次的冒犯,不应该就引为仇恨。
夏洛克:什么!你愿意给毒蛇咬两次吗?
安东尼奥:请你想一想,你现在跟这个犹太人讲理,就像站在海滩上,叫那大海的怒涛减低它的奔腾的威力,责问豺狼为什么害母羊为了失去它的羔羊而哀啼,或是叫那山上的松柏,在受到天风吹拂的时候,不要摇头摆脑,发出谡谡的声音。
要是你能够叫这个犹太人的心变软——世上还有什么东西比它更硬呢?——那么还有什么难事不可以做到?所以我请你不用再跟他商量什么条件,也不用替我想什么办法,让我爽爽快快受到判决,满足这犹太人的心愿吧。
巴萨尼奥:借了你三千块钱,现在拿六千块钱还你好不好?
夏洛克:即使这六千块钱中间的每一块钱都可以分做六份,每一份都可以变成一块钱,我也不要它们;我只要照约处罚。
公爵:你这样一点没有慈悲之心,将来怎么能够希望人家对你慈悲呢?
夏洛克:我又不干错事,怕什么刑罚?你们买了许多奴隶,把他们当作驴狗骡马一样看待,叫他们做种种卑贱的工作,因为他们是你们出钱买来的。
我可不可以对你们说,让他们自由,叫他们跟你们的子女结婚?为什么他们要在重担之下流着血汗?让他们的床铺得跟你们的床同样柔软,让他们的舌头也尝尝你们所吃的东西吧,你们会回答说:“这些奴隶是我们所有的。
”所以我也可以回答你们:我向他要求的这一磅肉,是我出了很大的代价买来的;它是属于我的,我一定要把它拿到手里。
您要是拒绝了我,那么你们的法律去见鬼吧!威尼斯城的法令等于一纸空文。
我现在等候着判决,请快些回答我,我可不可以拿到这一磅肉?
1、上述文段选自名着《》,作者是国作家。
2、夏洛克说:“你愿意给毒蛇咬两次吗?”中“毒蛇”比喻谁?这句话表达了他怎样的思想感情?
3、安东尼奥认为跟夏洛克讲理“就像站在海滩上,叫那大海的怒涛减低它的奔腾的威力,责问豺狼为什么害母羊为了失去它的羔羊而哀啼,或是叫那山上的松柏,在受到天风吹拂的时候,不要摇头摆脑,发出谡谡的声音。
”试赏析这段台词的语言特点。
4、当巴萨尼奥提出加倍偿还借款的建议时,贪婪、爱财如命的夏洛克为什么反而坚持“照约处罚”呢?
5、当公爵要求夏洛克有“慈悲之心”时,夏洛克是如何回答公爵的责问的?这个回答又表达了夏洛克怎样的情感?
文段阅读
鲍西娅:你这场官司打得倒也奇怪,可是按照威尼斯的法律,你的控诉是可以成立的。
(向安东尼奥)你的生死现在操在他的手里,是不是?
安东尼奥:他是这样说的。
鲍西娅:你承认这借约吗?
安东尼奥:我承认。
鲍西娅:那么犹太人应该慈悲一点。
夏洛克:为什么我应该慈悲一点?把您的理由告诉我。
鲍西娅:慈悲不是出于勉强,它像甘霖一样从天上降下尘世;它不但给幸福于受施的人,也同样给幸福于施与的人;它有超乎一切的无上威力,比皇冠更足以显出一个帝王的高贵:御杖不过象征着俗世的威权,使人民对于君上的尊严凛然生畏;慈悲的力量却高于权力之上,它深藏在帝王的内心,是一种上帝的德行,执法的人倘能把慈悲调剂着公道,人间的权力就和上帝的神力没有差别。
所以,犹太人,虽然你所要求的是公道,可是请你想一想,要是真的按照公道执行起赏罚来,谁也没有死后得救的希望;我们既然祈祷着上帝的慈悲,就应该按照祈祷的指点,自己做一些慈悲的事。
我说了这一番话,为的是希望你能够从你的法律的立场上作几分让步;可是如果你坚持着原来的要求,那么威尼斯的法庭是执法无私的,只好把那商人宣判定罪了。
夏洛克:我自己做的事,我自己当!我只要求法律允许我照约执行处罚。

表达了他作为高利贷者对借钱给人从不要利息的商人安东尼奥的极度仇恨,和不顾一切实施报复的决心。
3、大量运用了比喻句,让语言更加生动形象。
安东尼奥连续用三个比喻句来强调突出了夏洛克的残忍之心是无法改变的。

在这场法庭诉讼中又表现为一个偏执、阴险、冷酷、残忍的复仇者。
5、夏洛克用“你们买了许多奴隶,把他们当作驴狗骡马一样看待”作类比,说明自己“拿这一磅肉”的合理性,以其人之道还治其人之身。
