英国文学选读 试题
英国文学选读 试题
I. Prose selection:In this section, you are required to read the selection taken from some famous literary works, and then answer the questions below. Write
your answers on the Answer Sheet (30 points).
To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
Questions:
1.??????????? Which book is this passage taken from? And what’s the title of the essay? Who is the author of it?
2.??????????? How many abuses or misuses of studies the author summarized in this passage, and do you agree with him, why or why not?
3.??????????? What is the relationship of practice and studies, try to illustrate it by relating your own experience.
According to the author, what is the most effective way to pursue one’s studies and why?
??II. Poem selection: In this section, you are required to read the selection taken from some famous literary works, and then answer the questions after the selection. Write
your answers on the Answer Sheet (30 points).
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so ; For those, whom thou thinkst thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy picture[s] be, Much pleasure, then from thee much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and souls delivery.
