Eliza Doolittle is a flower girl who is under the instruction of Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering to learn proper grammar and phonetics. Eliza can be characterized as a very sensitive and emotional person. She seeks to be treated like a duchess by men. Her personality clashes (冲突) with the personality of Professor Higgins ‎ 6‎ in an extreme way. Professor Higgins is an arrogant (傲慢的), workobsessed expert in phonetics who views Eliza simply as an experiment. He is a bachelor who has never found a place for women in his life due to his obsession (痴迷) with language. Colonel Pickering is a gentleman from India who is also an expert in language. He is gentler than Higgins and treats Eliza with respect while maintaining a professional interest in her. These three characters make up the main action of the play as Eliza learns speech of the upper class from them. She manages to pass herself off as a Hungarian princess at a formal party. This achievement makes Eliza give credence to the efforts of Higgins and Pickering. After experiencing life in the upper class, Eliza settles for a lowerclass life with a man who loves her for who she is and wants to marry her. After some small and unimportant disputes，Eliza and Higgins remain friends later. Other memorable characters include Mrs. Higgins who maintains an authoritative (权威的) figure over her grown son and Mr. Doolittle who rises from a dustman to a respected speaker in the community. ‎ I think that this is a good book because it shows that happiness can be achieved without wealth and fame. I highly recommend it due to its emphasis on grammatical and phonetic correctness. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文作者分析了《皮格马利翁》中各人物之间的关系，谈到了自己阅读这本书的体会，并向读者推荐这本书。‎ ‎1．Eliza learns speech of the upper class because ________. ‎ A．she wants to do an experiment B．she wants to marry a gentleman C．she has to play a princess at a party D．she wants to be treated respectfully 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She seeks to be treated like a duchess by men. ”可知，伊莱扎·杜利特尔想让人们像对待公爵夫人那样对待她，也就是说她想让别人毕恭毕敬地对待她。‎ ‎2．The author highly recommends Pygmalion because it can teach people ________. ‎ A．to use and speak English in the right ways B．the right attitude towards life C．the ways to deal with different people D．the determination to succeed 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据最后一句“I highly recommend it due to its emphasis 6‎ ‎ on grammatical and phonetic correctness. ”可知，作者向人们推荐这本书的原因是它强调人们应该正确使用英语。‎ ‎3．What does the underlined part “give credence to” in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A．Believe. B．Change. ‎ C．Fancy. D．Obtain. ‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据上文可知，伊莱扎·杜利特尔想让人们像对待公爵夫人那样对待她，而通过希金斯教授和皮克林上校的努力后，她成功地冒充成了公爵夫人。由此可知，这次成功使伊莱扎·杜利特尔相信希金斯教授和皮克林上校的努力。‎ ‎4．The passage is probably ________. ‎ A．a research paper B．a teaching plan C．a book report D．a diary 解析：选C　推理判断题。作者首先分析了《皮格马利翁》中各人物之间的关系，然后谈到了自己阅读这本书的体会，并向读者推荐这本书，因此这篇文章可能是一篇读书报告。‎ Ⅳ. 完形填空 He was known everywhere as a great artist.
