James Joyce was an Irish novelist who revolutionized the methods of depicting characters and developing a plot in modern fiction. his astonishing way of constructing a novel, his frank portrayal（描畫, 描寫）of human nature in his books, and his complete command of English have made him one of the outstanding influences on literature in the 20th century. Many critics judge that he is second only to Shakespeare in his mastery of the English language. Joyce was deeply influenced by Ireland and wrote all his books about Dublin.

When he was in Dublin College, he studied languages and spent his spare time reading books. He refused to take part in the nationalist movement like his fellow students, but he became passionately（熱情地, 熱烈地）interested in literature. He wrote outspoken articles of literary criticism that shocked his teachers and even taught himself norwegian（挪威語(yǔ)）so that he could read Ibsen’s（挪威劇作家及詩(shī)人）works in the original.

When he graduated in 1902, he knew he would become a writer and an exile（流犯, 被放逐者）, because he felt he could not be one without the other. In order to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully, and as objectively as he knew how, about the people and places he knew best, he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life. He went to France, Italy and Switzerland, where he lived in poverty and obscurity for the first 20 years, only returning to Ireland when his mother was dying. Except for a couple of brief trips, he stayed abroad all his life.

James Joyce was famous for many reasons except _______.

A．his way of constructing a novel

B．his frank portrayal of human nature

C．his complete command of English

D．his passion in literature

A．a(chǎn)chievement in literature      

B．a(chǎn)chievement in the nationalist movement

C．a(chǎn)chievement in his study of languages   

D．mastery of the English language

How many examples are used to show his passion in literature?

A．2.     B．3.     C．1.     D．4.

Why did James Joyce stay abroad almost all his life?

       A．Because he wanted to live in poverty and obscurity.

       B．Because he wanted to write the people and places he knew best.

C．Because he wanted to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion  or public life.

       D．Because he wanted to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully and objectively about the people and the places he knew best.

“Last week,” Dr. P said “I was invited to a doctors’ meeting at the R. Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.”
“Frank!” I cried with surprise. He couldn’t answer as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back more than thirty years—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal (正常的). He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the West went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated (分別) that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.
They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted (問(wèn)候) me in the same way.
【小題1】How did Dr P know that the patient was Frank?

A．He was told that Frank was in the hospital.
B．He was invited to study Frank’s illness.
C．Frank greeted him in a special way.
D．Frank’s name was written on the door.
【小題2】When and where did Dr. P first meet Frank?
A．At the R Hospital about ten days before.
B．In an air-raid shelter during the war.
C．In Mrs. West’s house in 1941.
D．In London after the West’s’ house was destroyed.
【小題3】The unlucky ones mentioned by the doctor were __________.
A．those who suffered from illness.
B．those who were killed during the war
C．those who slept in the air-raid shelter.
D．those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids
【小題4】Dr. P placed his foot against Fran’s before he left the shelter.
A．to find out if Frank could put on his shoes
B．to be friendly towards Frank
C．to see if Frank’s feet were normal
D．to teach Frank to greet people in a special way
【小題5】Why did Dr P say that Mrs West had to be a strong, able woman?
A．She was over 75.
B．She needed all the attention of a baby.
C．She had to give care and thought to her son as to a baby.
D．She lost nearly everything in the war.
