New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the<br /> literature of this half century.<br /> As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved<br /> remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the<br /> sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in<br /> the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite,<br /> well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives;<br /> no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction,<br /> poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was<br /> literature read primarily by young, middle class women.<br /> In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt<br /> Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each<br /> state and region as peers "and expands from them and includes the world. connecting an American citizen<br /> with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been<br /> designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them<br /> impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform. Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as<br /> an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a<br /> producer of major works.<br /> Question 28. It can be inferred from the passage that Walt Whitman_____________.<br /> A. was disapproving of the new literature<br /> B. was an international diplomat<br /> C. wrote Leaves of Grass<br /> D. disliked urban life<br /> Question 29.

For many Americans it is<br /> the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for<br /> Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.<br /> Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the<br /> ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived<br /> at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the<br /> following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food<br /> for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they<br /> had survived.<br /> Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the<br /> celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey,<br /> sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is<br /> filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made<br /> into a pie.<br /> On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the<br /> Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the<br /> streets with large balloons in the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of<br /> the Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.<br /> Question 41: What is the purpose of the passage?<br /> A.
