No need for Object#context

  class View
    def initialize template
      @template = template
    end

    def render locals = {}
      context = binding
      locals.each do |k, v|
        var = k
        value = "ObjectSpace._id2ref #{ v.object_id }"
        definition = "#{ var } = #{ value }"
        eval definition, context
      end
      double_quoted_heredoc = ['<<__template__', @template,
'__template__'].join("\n")
      eval double_quoted_heredoc, context
    end
  end

  view = View.new '<body> #{ x + y } </body>'

  puts view.render(:x => 40, :y => 2)  #=> <body> 42 </body>

Works just as well.
