On the face of it, readers are more likely to empathize with, and be curious about, the mysterious and resourceful slave, Sarah, who forms one point of an emotional triangle. Sarah is the property of Manon, and came with her to a failing Louisiana sugar plantation on her marriage to the good-for-nothing, bullying owner. But Manons husband is soon struck by Sarah, and the proof lies in their idiot small son, Walter.However, the reader is forced to see things through Manons eyes, not Sarahs, and her consciousness is not a comfortable place to be. Never a please or a thank you passes her lips when talking to slaves, though manners is the order of the day in white society. Manon is enormously attracted by inter-racial marriage (for the place and timethe early 19th centurysuch a concern would not be unusual, but in her case it seems pathological). Walter, with“his fathers curly red hair and green eyes, his mothers golden skin, her full, pushing-forward lips”, is the object of her especial hatred, but she chatters on about all the“dreadful mixed-blooded”, the objectionable“yellow”people.Beyond Manons polarized vision, we glimpse“free negros”and the emerging black middle-class. To Manons disgust, such people actually have self-respect. In New Orleans buying shoes, Manon is taken aback by the shopkeepers lack of desired respect. Mixed race prostitutes acquired the affections of male planters by giving them something mysterious their wives cannot often What that might be, and why wives cant offer it too, are questions Manon cant even ask, let alone answer.The first third of the book explores the uneasy and unsustainable peace between Manon, Sarah and the man always called just“my husband”or“he”. Against the background of violent slave revolts and equally savage revenges, its clear the peace cannot last. Its part of the subtlety of this book that as the story develops and the inevitable explosion occurs, our view of all the characters swiftly changes. Sarah turns out to deserve all the suspicion Manon directs at her; at the point of death Manons husband displays an admirable toughness and courage; and Manon herself wins the readers reluctant admiration for her bravery, her endurance, and her total lack of self-pity.Perhaps the cruelest aspect of this society is the way it breaks down and distorts family affections. A slaves baby is usually sold soon after birth; Sarahs would-be husband, if he wants her, must buy her; and Manon herself, after all, is only the property of her husband.Which of the following reflects Manons attitude towards colored people?ASympathetic.BSuspicious.CConcerned.DDisgusted.6.A.是 B.否7.Of which of the following did the author provide a guardedly optimistic view?AGDP growth.BThe number of layoffs.CPrice indexes.DOutput of consumer goods.8.三、1.Use of English(20题)9.(11)A.the same asB.different fromC.the same toD.different about10.(17)A.adapt B.have adapted C.adopt D.have adopted11.(14)A.harshly B.huskily C.strictly D.severely12.(5)A.report B.demand C.concern D.prospect13.(16)A.final B.end C.eventual D.ultimate14.(8)A.guide B.form C.model D.shape15.(3)A.scope B.limit C.range D.it16.(10)A.reckons B.counts C.reflects D.conceive17.(18)A.thereby B.though C.nonetheless D.hereafter18.
