查看习题详情和答案>>The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the well-known novels written by French author Victor Hugo. I have just finished this book.
Reflecting on the content of the book, I am most impressed by the architecture of that time, the churches that represented power and luxury. It shows how great architects’ appreciation of beauty and their capacity of turning their dreams into buildings.
When it comes to the heroine Esmerelda, I am deeply impressed by her beauty and kindness. I love her not only for her fascinating appearance but also because of her good mind and pitiful destiny. We can see her pure beauty from how she treats the goat, how she saves the jobless poet, and how she sacrifices for love. In my eyes, she is a lost angel in the world. However, all this perfect girl has received is to lead a vagrant (漂泊的) life. She lives in a gutter and is often made fun of by the so-called upper class of society. She is abandoned and threatened. In the end, Esmerelda sadly makes the decision to end her life.
Different lifestyles are displayed in the novel, like foolish Phoebus and the ugly hunchback Quasimodo. A striking comparison is demonstrated between Phoebus and Quasimodo. They both fall in love with the gypsy (吉普赛人) girl at the same time and both are refused. Their love is so strong and sincere, while one wants to conquer and the other chooses to sacrifice.
I think that may be the real charm of the famous novel. It tells not only a sad story, but also reveals human beings' pursuits of love and happiness. However, not everyone receives the same treatment in search of their love and happiness. What should we do when we are confronted with the darkness and unfairness of society? Everyone has different answers, as the characters in the novel do.

A. the content of the book itself B. power and luxury

47. What’s the author’s attitude towards Esmerelda?
A. criticizing and complaining. B. admiring and sympathetic.
C. disappointed and upset. D. regretful and sad
48. The underline word “ are confronted with” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _________.
A. are put up with B. are faced with C. are satisfied with D. are covered with
49. The best tittle of the passage may be _________.
