Notre-Dame《巴黎圣母院》是法國作家雨果最著名的小說。埃斯梅拉達是一個性格活潑、熱情似火的吉卜賽女郎，生性善良的她贏得了許多人的贊美和喜愛。巴黎圣母院的副主教克洛德覬覦埃斯梅拉達的美貌已久，派出樣貌丑陋的撞鐘人卡西莫多，將埃斯梅拉達強行掠奪至巴黎圣母院，誰知道半途殺出了英俊勇敢的上尉菲比斯，后者令埃斯梅拉達一見傾心。菲比斯遭到了蒙面歹徒的襲擊，而埃斯梅拉達居然成為罪魁禍首。埃斯梅拉達被判處絞刑，在行刑之前，卡西莫多救走了身陷囹圄的埃斯梅拉達，將她藏到了巴黎圣母院之內(nèi)。起初，埃斯梅拉達對卡西莫多充滿了戒備，但隨著時間的推移，她漸漸了解到，在卡西莫多丑陋的外表下，隱藏著一顆金子一樣的心?！栋屠枋ツ冈骸纷鳛橐徊坷寺髁x代表作，作者充分運用浪漫主義的美丑對照手法，把善與惡、美與丑、崇高與卑下對照起來描寫，并在環(huán)境、事件、情節(jié)的安排以及人物形象的塑造上，夸張地突出某些特性，形成強烈的對照，打破了以往古典主義的桎梏，是浪漫主義作品中一座里程碑。ReadthepassageandfindoutwhyQuasimodorescuedEsmeralda.QuasimodorescuedEsmeraldabecausewhenQuasimodowastorturedinpublic,Esmeraldawastheonlyonetoshowhimkindnessandmercy.Readthepassagecarefully.Choosethebestanswerforthefollowingquestions.1.WhydoesQuasimodokidnapEsmeraldaatfirst?A.Hefallsinlovewithherbeauty.B.AmanwholovesEsmeraldaaskshimtodoso.C.HewantstotakehertoNotre-DameCathedral.D.Hewantstorepayherkindness.2.WhatdoesEsmeraldadowhenQuasimodoistorturedinpublic?A.Shehelpshimescape.
