Directions: In this part of the test, there are two excerpts. Each of the excerpts is followed by three questions. Read the excerpts and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet.
Part A
Success
Success is counted sweetest
Those who ne’er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag today
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory,
As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break, agonized and clear.
1.Who is the author of the poem? (1’)
2.According to the poem, what best understands success? (1’)
3.In your opinion, who wants most to succeed? (1’)
4.Translate the first stanza into Chinese. (2’)
Part B
I heard the trailing garments of the Night
Sweep through her marble halls!
I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light
From the celestial walls!
I felt her presence, by its spell of might,
Stoop o’er me from above;
The calm, majestic presence of the Night,
As of the one of I love.
I heard the sounds of sorrow and delight,
The manifold, soft chimes,
That fill the haunted chambers of the Night,
Like some old poet’s rhymes.
From the cool cisterns of the midnight air
My spirit drank repose;
The fountain of perpetual peace flows there,--
From those deep cisterns flows.
O holy Night! from thee I learn to bear
What man has borne before!
Thou layest thy finger on the lips of care,
And they complain no more.
Peace! Peace! Orestes-like I breathe this prayer!
Descend with broad-winged flight,
The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, the most fair,
The best-beloved Night!
1.What is the title of the poem? Who is the author?
2.How does the poet personify the Night?
3.What does he learn from her?

Directions: In this part of the test, there are ten excertps. Judge the authors and titles of these works and fill them on the Answer Sheet.
1.As the door of Mrs. Pocock’s salon was pushed open for him, the next day, well before noon, he was reached by a voice with a charming sound that made him just falter before crossing the threshold. Madame de Vionnet was already on the field…
2. Let us consider the way in which we spend our lives.
This world is a place of business. What an infinite bustle! I am awaked almost every night by the panting of the locomotive. It interrupts my dreams. There is no Sabbath. It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work.
3.Come up from the fields father, here’s a letter from our Pete,
And come to the front door mother, here’s a letter from thy dear son.
4.Thus advance of the enemy had seemed to the youth like a ruthless hunting. He began to fume with rage and exasperation. He beat his foot upon the ground, and scowled with hate at the swirling smoke that was approaching like a phantom flood.
5.I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They’d banish us, you know.
6.I taste a liquor never brewed,
From tankards scooped in pearl;
Not all the vats upon the Rhine
Yield such an alcohol!
7.Now I had often seen pilots gazing at the water and pretending to read it as if it were a book; but it was a book that told me nothing. A time came at last, however, when Mr. Bixby seemed to think me far enough advanced to bear a lesson on water-reading.
8.Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind…
9.Whether fagged by the three days’ running chase, and the resistance to his swimming in the knotted hamper he bore; or whether it was some latent deceitfulness and malice in him: whichever was true, the White Whale’s way now began to abate, as it seemed, from the boat so rapidly nearing him once more; though indeed the whale’s last start had not been so long a one as before.
10.Ah! what pleasant visions haunt me
As I gaze upon the sea!
All the old romantic legends,
All my dreams, come back to me.

Directions: In this part of the test, you are given two selections. Choose ONE of them and give a comment on the Answer Sheet. Scores will be given according to the content, grammar and the completeness of the related knowledge.
This Is My Letter to the World
This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,--
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.
Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet coutrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!
I Hear America Singing
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deck-hand singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,
The wood-cutter’s song, the plowboy’s on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

试 卷 分 析
2005-2006第三学期
1.试卷结构
| 题 号 | ||||||
| 题 型 | 选择 | 连线 | 名词解释 | 欣赏 | 识别 | 评论 |
| 分值比例 | 20% | 20% | 20% | 10% | 20% | 10% |
| 难易程度 | 中等 | 较易 | 较难 | 较易 | 中等 | 中等 |
| 总人数 | 平均分 | 最高分 | 最低分 |
| 325 | 77.4 | 98 | 33 |
| 范围 | 90-100分 | 80-分 | 70-79分 | 60-69分 | 不及格 |
| 人数 | 32 | 125 | 92 | 53 | 23 |
| 比例 | 9.8% | 39.5% | 28.3% | 16.3% | 7.1% |
从试卷结构上看:试题类型灵活多样,与文学有关的所有类型题几乎都已经囊括在内。考查学生的知识范围符合课程教学大纲和考试大纲所规定的内容。试题和试卷设计规范、科学,试题有一定的难度梯度,难中易的比例基本为2:5:3,侧重于对课程基础内容的考察,强调基础。
从分值比例上看:其中优秀的学生占9.8%,不及格的学生占7.1%,学生成绩优劣表现明显。中等和良好的学生占到67.8%,凸显学生的总体学习状况。试题中连线、欣赏、识别属记忆题,错误率较低;名词解释和评论题是理解加记忆的题型,由于题目较难,评卷中适当放松了标准,总体状况良好。但在表现优秀学生能力方面稍有欠缺。
4.改进意见
1.突出对推理能力以及能否使用英语这种语言准确地表达自己的思想、观点的能力的考查,体现素质教育的试题设计思想。
2.减少记忆型试题的比重,适当增加题型来考查学生对综合知识的掌握情况。
3.严格评分标准,清晰划分学生成绩的优劣。
