Paradise Lost is Milton’s masterpiece. Its story is taken from the Bible, about "the fall of man", that is, how Adam and Eve are tempted by Satan to disobey God by eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and how they are punished by God and driven out of Paradise. In Milton’s words, the purpose of writing the epics to "justify the ways of God to men", but apparently, Milton is uttering his intense hatred of cruelness of the ruler in the poem. By depicting Satan and his followers as well as their fiery utterance and brave actions, Milton is showing a Puritan’s (清教徒的)revolt against the dictator and against the established Catholics and the Anglican Church.
In the poem God is no better than a cruel and selfish ruler, seated on a throne with a group of angels about him singing songs to praise him. His long speeches are not pleasing at all. He is cruel and unjust in punishing Satan. His angels are stupid. But Satan is by far the most striking character in the poem, who rises against God and, though defeated, still persists in his. fighting.
Adam and Eve shows Milton’s belief in the power of man. God denies them a chance to pursue for knowledge. It is this longing for knowledge that opens before mankind a wide road to intelligent and active life. It has been noted by many critics that Milton’s revolutionary feelings makes him forget religious doctrines(教条). The angels who surround the God never think of expressing any opinions of their own. The image of God surrounded by such angels resembles the court of an absolute monarch(君主). But Satan and his followers, who freely discuss all issues in council, remind us of a Republican Parliament.
This passage is most probably ______.
选项
A、a review or Milton’s Paradise Lost
B、an introduction of what Paradise Lost is about
C、a depiction of the cruelness of the British ruler
D、part of an introduction to English literature
答案

解析
本题考查文章来源。文章对弥尔顿的《失乐园》进行了评析,指出弥尔顿通过描述撤旦的勇敢,上帝和天使的愚蠢,揭示了当时英国统治者的独断专行和英国宗教的教条主义,因而是一篇典型的文学评论。文章没有详细地解释诗的内容,所以选项B不正确。选项D“英国文学的部分介绍”范围太大,不具体。
