New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this half century.<\/p>\n As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature hadevolved<\/u><\/strong>remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer wasit<\/u><\/strong>produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set inexotic<\/u><\/strong>places and remote times; no longer,indeed<\/u><\/strong>, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women.<\/p>\n In sum, American literature inthese years<\/u><\/strong>fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers “and expands from them, and includes the world … connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations.” At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated “the literature of argument,” powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform. Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works.<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 1:<\/strong>The word \u201cevolved<\/u><\/strong>\u201d in paragraph two is closest in meaning to______________<\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>changed B.<\/strong>turned back C.<\/strong>diminished D.<\/strong>became famous<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 2:<\/strong>All of the following can be inferred from the passage about the ne J literature EXCEPT____________<\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>It was not highly regarded internationally<\/p>\n B.<\/strong>It broke with many literary traditions of the past<\/p>\n C.<\/strong>It spoke to the issue of reform and change<\/p>\n D.<\/strong>It introduced new American themes, characters, and settings<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 3:<\/strong>The phrase\u201cthese years<\/u>\u201d<\/strong>in the third paragraph refers to ___________.<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>the early 1800s B.<\/strong>1850-1900 C.<\/strong>the 1900s D.<\/strong>the present<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 4:<\/strong>The word \u201cit<\/u><\/strong>\u201d in the second paragraph refers to______________<\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>the population B.<\/strong>American literature C.<\/strong>the energy D.<\/strong>the manufacturing<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 5:<\/strong>It can be inferred from the first paragraph that the previous passagfl probably discussed_____________<\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>new developments in industrialization and population shifts<\/p>\n B.<\/strong>he importance of tradition to writers<\/p>\n C.<\/strong>the limitations of American literature to this time<\/p>\n D.<\/strong>the fashions and values of 19th century America<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 6:<\/strong>This passage would probably be read in which of the followii academic courses?<\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>Current events B.<\/strong>International affairs C.<\/strong>American literature D.<\/strong>European history<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 7:<\/strong>The word \u201cexotic<\/u><\/strong>” in paragraph two is closest in meaning to_________<\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>unusual B.<\/strong>old-fashioned C.<\/strong>well-known D.<\/strong>urban<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 8:<\/strong>The main idea of this passage is____________<\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>that the new American literature was less provincial than the old<\/p>\n B.<\/strong>that most people were wary of the new literature<\/p>\n C.<\/strong>that World War I caused a dramatic change in America<\/p>\n D.<\/strong>that centers of culture shifted from East to West<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 9:<\/strong>The author uses the word \u201cindeed<\/u><\/strong>\u201d in the second paragraph for what purpose?<\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>To show a favorable attitude to these forms of literature.<\/p>\n B.<\/strong>To emphasize the contrast he is making.<\/p>\n C.<\/strong>For variety in a lengthy paragraph.<\/p>\n D.<\/strong>To wind down his argument.<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 10:<\/em><\/strong>It can be inferred from the passage that Walt Whitman_____________<\/em><\/p>\n A.<\/strong>was disapproving of the new literature B.<\/strong>disliked urban life<\/p>\n C.<\/strong>was an international diplomat D.<\/strong>wrote Leaves of Grass<\/p>\n Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n C\u00e2u 11: A.<\/strong>vis<\/u>ion B.<\/strong>conclus<\/u>ion C.<\/strong>divis<\/u>ion D.<\/strong>comparis<\/u>on<\/p>\n C\u00e2u 12: A.<\/strong>solu<\/u>tion B.<\/strong>cou<\/u>ld C.<\/strong>pu<\/u>ll D.<\/strong>loo<\/u>k<\/p>\n Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B , C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Speech is one of the most important (13) ______ communicating.
