问题 阅读理解与欣赏
阅读《威尼斯商人》(节选),完成下列各题。
  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,责问豺狼为什么害得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,发出簌簌的声音。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?
1.“什么!你愿意给毒蛇咬两次吗?”这句话的潜台词是什么?
____________________________________________
2.“请你想一想……发出簌簌的声音。”这句话运用了什么修辞手法?有何含义?
____________________________________________
3.结合选文分析夏洛克是一个怎样的人。
____________________________________________                                                                       
4.安东尼奥已经绝望,他要求法庭“满足这犹太人的心愿”。对安东尼奥的这种做法,你是怎样看的?说说你的理由。
____________________________________________                                                                       
答案

1.我一定要报复,把不喜欢的东西置之死地。    

2.比拟。控诉了夏洛克心如铁石的凶残本性。    

3.夏洛克本是一位贪婪、吝啬、爱财如命的高利贷者,在一磅肉的诉讼中,他凶相毕露,杀气腾腾,连威尼斯最高长官也敢于句句顶辩,毫不退让,成了一个残忍、固执、冷酷无情的复仇者。为了消灭对手,为了今后更大的利益,连视为生命的钱都可放弃,因此,他在法庭上的固执和残忍,实际上正是他唯利是图的本性表现。但是,夏洛克又有其偏狭、愚蠢的一面。在鲍西娅面前,他利令智昏,一步一步地走向失败,却自以为即将得逞,于是他对鲍西娅百般奉承,五次颂扬。当他失败后,金钱又立即成了他追求的主要目标,捞不到三倍赔款收回本钱也行,而到他的财产被宣布充公时,他则哀叹道:就是活活要了我的命。

4.安东尼奥的这种做法不可取,人生挫折很多,永不言弃才可能绝处逢生。

单项选择题

Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people.
"The burnt child fears the fire" is one instance; another is the rise of despots like Hitler. Both examples also point up the fact that attitudes stem from experience. In one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were indoctrinated largely by the speeches they heard and the books they read.
The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose word they respect.
Another reason it is true is that pupils often delve somewhat deeply into a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who had previously acquired little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.
The media through which the teacher can develop wholesome attitudes are innumerable. Social studies (with special reference to races, creeds and nationalities), science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom... these are a few of the fertile fields for the inculcation of proper emotional reactions.
However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise for the teacher to attempt to change their feelings by cajoling or scolding them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experiences.
To illustrate, first grade pupils afraid of policemen will probably alter their attitudes after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips.
Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be deleterious if she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions on which children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions as a result of objective analysis of all the facts.

The word "despot" underlined in Paragraph 2 means a person ______.

A.who enjoys a high reputation
