Upon his foe, and his new force to learn;

Upon his foe, a dragon horrible and stearne.\"

Question 4

Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart. And while the late steamer Big Missouri worked and sweated in the sun, the retired artist sat on a barrel in the shade close by, dangled his legs, munched his apple, and planned the slaughter of more innocents. There was no lack of material; boys happened along every little while; they came to jeer, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was fagged out, Tom had traded the next chance to Billy Fisher for a kite, in good repair; and when he played out, Johnny Miller bought in for a dead rat and a string to swing it with -- and so on, and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, from being a poor poverty-stricken boy in the morning, Tom was literally rolling in wealth. He had besides the things before mentioned, twelve marbles, part of a jews-harp, a piece of blue bottle-glass to look through, a spool cannon, a key that wouldn\'t unlock anything, a fragment of chalk, a glass stopper of a decanter, a tin soldier, a couple of tadpoles, six fire-crackers, a kitten with only one eye, a brass doorknob, a dog-collar -- but no dog -- the handle of a knife, four pieces of orange-peel, and a dilapidated old window sash.

He had had a nice, good, idle time all the while -- plenty of company -- and the fence had three coats of whitewash on it! If he hadn\'t run out of whitewash he would have bankrupted every boy in the village.

Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it -- namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is OBLIGED to do, and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. And this would help him to understand why constructing artificial flowers or performing on a tread-mill is work, while rolling ten-pins or climbing Mont Blanc is only amusement. There are wealthy gentlemen in England who drive four-horse passenger-coaches twenty or thirty miles on a daily line, in the summer, because the privilege costs them considerable money; but if they were offered wages for the service, that would turn it into work and then they would resign.

1. 选择题，问这段话表现了Tom是个怎样的人？（选项有说愚蠢的，懒惰的，自由自在的等）

2. 选择题，问划线句(从if he had been a great and wise philosopher开始的那句)表达作者说话时是什么态度？

3. alacrity是什么意思 （2分）

4. 简答，问作者怎么比较childhood and the adult world in this novel? 有什么意义？

 

第二大题 选择题

 

1. 给出四个人物，问下面哪部作品有以上其中一个人物？

2. 选项给出四句诗，问哪句诗是属于浪漫主义时期的？

3. 讲一个家庭在经济危机时期的故事，题目中对这部作品作了两三句话的简介，问这是哪部作品？

4. 选项分别给出四部作品的一句话故事情节介绍，问哪部那个选项符合victorian plot?

5. 问那两部作品的narrative technique 最相近？（有Ulysses and Washington Square, The Sound of Fury and Mrs. Dallow, Othello and..)

（还有一道题记不太清了）
