Give brief answers to each of the following questions in English. Write your answers in the corresponding space on the answer sheet.

45. It is said that B. Shaw’s play, Mrs. Warren’s Profession, has a strong realistic theme, which fully reflects the dramatist’s Fabianist idea. Try to summarize this theme briefly.

A. The play reveals that guilt for prostitution lies more upon the social system than the immoral woman.
B. In the play,Shaw shows clearly that all human suffering are consequences of the cruel economic exploitation, which is pursued shamelessly by the so-called respectable members of the society through the lowest and dirtiest means.

46. Emily Bronte used a very complicated narrative technique in writing her novel Wuthering Heights. Try to tell Bronte’s way of narration briefly.

B. Most of the story is told by Nelly, Catherine's old nurse, to Mr.Lockwood, a temporary tenant at Thrushcross Grange.
