Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct<br />
answer to each of the questions from 33 to 40.<br />
This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last half of<br />
the 19th century was accompanied by the development of a national literature of great abundance and<br />
variety. 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 />

B. unusual<br />
C. well-known<br />
D. old-fashioned<br />
Question 31. All of the following can be inferred from the passage about the new literature EXCEPT_____.<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct<br />
answer to each of the questions from 41 to 47.<br />
Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. 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 />
