『贰』 英语小说阅读题
American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for ecation, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict, and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American 'dream' was to have a house in the suburb.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now alts. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers, and executives, are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburb because their jobs are there ; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. A new class is moving into the city---a wealthier, more mobile class.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: Many dying cities are alive again.

『叁』 如何阅读英语原文小说呀求具体方法
其实高中之后，慢慢的有接触一些国外小说，看国外的小说的感觉和中国的感受是完全不一样的，英文经典小说。一入文学深似海呀！但是翻译过来的总是觉得有些别扭，所以开始在慢慢学着阅读英文原文小说，也总结了我的步骤给大家，个人认为这个可以分成三个阶段：
第一阶，短篇小说
刚开始准备阅读英文原文小说的时候，可以找一些短篇小说，因为作品太长很容易觉得枯燥而就放弃了阅读，所以找一些有趣的短篇小说，可以增加我们阅读的乐趣。推荐几篇我个人非常喜欢的：William Faulkner的A rose for Emily（这个简直最爱啊，不过要了解作品大背景哈，可以先读一遍，然后看看历史，再体会一下），Washington Irving的The legend of the Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle(很有意思！）Allen Poe的大部分短篇，不过稍难，还有欧亨利的等等。不建议买短篇小说集，大家可以在网上找，看完一篇以后，找相关链接的去读，因为短篇小说集其实很多很无聊哈，这个看个人兴趣爱好。
最后，接下来估计就是各种哲学，宗教书籍了。多说一句，Dan Brown的一系列书如达芬奇密码，天使与魔鬼还是很值得一看的哈！你不会后悔的，但是要在至少攻关探索第二阶再开始，否则很难进行。
『肆』 英语小说阅读《羊脂球》选文
英语小说阅读《羊脂球》选文
《羊脂球》是法国作家莫泊桑创作的短篇小说。《羊脂球》是他的成名作，也是他的`代表作之一。《羊脂球》以1870—1871年普法战争为背景。通过代表当时法国社会各阶层的10个人同乘一辆马车逃往一个港口的故事，形象地反映出资产阶级在这场战争中所表现出的卑鄙自私和出卖人民的丑恶嘴脸。
Some detachments rapped at each door, then disappeared into the houses. It was occupation after invasion. Then the ty commences for the conquered to show themselves gracious toward the conquerors1.
After some time, as soon as the first terror disappears, a new calm is established. In many families, the Prussian officer eats at the table. He is sometimes well bred and, through politeness, pities France, and speaks of his repugnance2 in taking part in this affair. One is grateful to him for this sentiment; then, one may be, some day or other, in need of his protection. By treat-ing him well, one has, perhaps, a less number of men to feed. And why should we wound anyone on whom we are entirely3 dependent? To act thus would be less bravery than temerity4. And temerity is no longer a fault of the commoner of Rouen, as it was at the time of the heroic defense5, when their city became famous. Final-ly, each told himself that the highest judgment6 of French urbanity required that they be allowed to be polite to the strange soldier in the house, provided they did not show themselves familiar with him in public. Outside they would not make themselves known to each other, but at home they could chat freely, and the German might remain longer each evening warming his feet at their hearthstones.
The town even took on, little by little, its ordinary aspect. The French scarcely went out, but the Prussian soldiers grumbled7 in the streets. In short, the officers of the Blue Hussars, who dragged with arrogance8 their great weapons of death up and down the pavement, seemed to have no more grievous scorn for the simple citizens than the officers or the sportsmen who, the year before, drank in the same cafes.
There was nevertheless, something in the air, something subtle and unknown, a strange, intolerable atmosphere like a penetrating9 odor, the odor of invasion. It filled the dwellings10 and the public places, changed the taste of the food, gave the impression of being on a journey, far away, among barbarous and dangerous tribes.
The conquerors exacted money, much money. The inhabitants always paid and they were rich enough to do it. But the richer a trading Norman becomes the more he suffers at every outlay11, at each part of his fortune that he sees pass from his hands into those of another.
Therefore, two or three leagues below the town, following the course of the river toward Croisset, Dieppedalle, or Biessart mariners12 and fishermen often picked up the swollen13 corpse14 of a German in uniform from the bottom of the river, killed by the blow of a knife, the head crushed with a stone, or perhaps thrown into the water by a push from the high bridge. The slime of the river bed buried these obscure vengeances, savage15, but legitimate16, unknown heroisms, mute attacks more perilous17 than the battles of broad day, and without the echoing sound of glory.
For hatred18 of the foreigner always arouses some intrepid19 ones, who are ready to die for an idea.
Finally, as soon as the invaders20 had brought the town quite under subjection with their inflexible21 discipline, without having been guilty of any of the horrors for which they were famous along their triumphal line of march, people began to take courage, and the need of trade put new heart into the commerce of the country. Some had large interests at Havre, which the French army occupied, and they wished to try and reach this port by going to Dieppe by land and there embarking22.
They used their influence with the German soldiers with whom they had an acquaintance, and finally, an authorization23 of departure was obtained from the General-in-chief.
Then, a large diligence, with four horses, having been engaged for this journey, and ten persons having engaged seats in it, it was resolved to set out on Tuesday morning before daylight, in order to escape observation.
For some time before, the frost had been hardening the earth and on Monday, toward three o'clock, great black clouds coming from the north brought the snow which fell without interruption ring the evening and all night.
