第一篇
The Beginning of American Literature
America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth
century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from
poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that
hope.When,however,does American literature begin?
American literature begins with Amnerican experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before
Christopher Columbus，before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,Native Americans
lived here. Each trilbe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daiiy life and reflected the unmistakably
American experience of lining with the land。Anoiher kind of experience,one filled with fear and excite-
ment,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain,French and
English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilderness tell
unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.
Experience,then,is the key to early American literature.The New World provided a great variety of
experiences,and these experiences deniauded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early
American writers.These wnters included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American
continent.They included Jonathlan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British sub-
jects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.
American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners一they are all the creators
of the first American literature.What can we learn from the literature of the tribes of the native Americans?
A:About the everyday life of the native Americans.
B:About the arrival of Columbus.
C:About the experience of the first European settlers.
D:About the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.答案：A解析：首先找到“that hope”在文章中的位置：就是指第一段第二句中“…a genuine hope of a new life,”意思是：开始新生活的真诚希望。故选B。
从第二段第二句可知：很早以前，本上美国人就居住在这里。既然前一句说“美国文学 产生于美国人的生活经历”，由此可知美国文学产生于很早以前就居住这里的本土美国人的 生活经历。故选D。
由文章第一二段第三句话“Each tribe' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land.”可知，从美洲土著 部落的文学中，我们可以找到他们日常生活的写照。
文章最后一段的第一句“Experience, then, is the key to early American literature.”是本 段的主题句，说的是：经历是早期美国文学的关键因素。
文章最后一段中“These writers included Johon Smith , who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of them- selves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”意思是：这些文学家包括仅在美洲居住两年半的约翰·史密斯，还 有约翰逊·爱德华和维廉姆·白伊德。这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会 创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见，一些英国作家对 美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。 -

由文章第二段第二句可知，早在大约公元1000年北欧人发现美洲之前，美洲土著居民就居住在这里。第一句说“美国文学来源于美国人的生活经历”，由此可知，美国文学产生于公元1000年前就居住在这里的美洲土著居民的生活经历。故选D。

第12题：
问答题Practice 1 Born in 1451, the son of an Italian weaver, Christopher Columbus took to the sea at an early age, making up for his lack of formal education by teaching himself geography, navigation, and Latin. By the 1480s Columbus—a tall, red-haired, long-faced man with a ruddy complexion, oval eyes, and a prominent nose—was an experienced seaman. Dazzled by the prospect of Asian riches, he hatched a scheme to reach the Indies (India, China, the East Indies, or Japan) by sailing west. After the courts of Portugal, England, and France showed little interest in his plan, Columbus turned to Spain for backing. He won the support of Ferdinand and Isabella, the Spanish monarchs, and himself raised much of the money needed to finance the voyage. The legend that the queen had to hock the crown jewels is as spurious as the fable that Columbus set out to prove the earth was round. Columbus chartered one seventy-five-foot ship, the Santa María, and the Spanish city of Palos supplied two smaller caravels, the Pinta and Nina. From Palos this little squadron, with eighty-seven officers and men, set sail westward for what Columbus thought was Asia. The first leg of the journey went well, thanks to a strong trade wind. But then the breeze lagged, the days passed, and the crew began to grumble about their captain’s farfetched plan. To rally flagging morale, he reminded the crew of the dazzling riches awaiting them. Yet skepticism remained rife, and he finally promised that the expedition would turn back if land were not sighted in three days. Early on October 12, 1492, after thirty-three days at sea, a lookout on the Santa María yelled “Tierra! Tierra! [Land! Land!]” It was an island in the Bahamas that Columbus named San Salvador (Blessed Savior). According to Columbus’s own reckoning he was near the Indies, so he called the island people los Indios. He described the Indians as naked people, “very well made, of very handsome bodies and very good faces.” The Arawak Indians paddled out in dugout logs, which they called canoes, and offered gifts to the strangers. Their warm generosity and docile temperament led Columbus to write in his journal that “they invite you to share anything that they possess, and show as much love as if their hearts went with it.” Yet he added that “with fifty men they could all be subjugated and compelled to do anything one wishes.”正确答案： 参考译文
1451年,克里斯托夫·哥伦布出生在一个意大利织工家庭。他从小就对航海着迷,自学了地理学、航海术和拉丁语,以此弥补没受过正规教育的缺憾。到了15世纪80年代,哥伦布已经是一位经验丰富的水手了,他身材高大,红头发,瘦长脸,面色红润,圆眼睛,高鼻梁。图片上美轮美奂的亚洲风光让哥伦布为之神往,于是他策划向西航行到印度群岛(包括印度、中国、东印度群岛或日本)。葡萄牙、英格兰和法国朝廷对此没有兴趣,于是哥伦布便转向西班牙求助,得到了国王斐迪南德和王后伊莎贝拉的支持。他自己还筹措了这次航海的很大一部分资金。传说王后抵押了自己王冠上的珠宝来资助他,纯属无稽之谈,这就和说哥伦布航海是为了证明地球是圆的一样荒谬。
哥伦布自己租了一条75英尺长的船,船名叫“圣玛利亚”号,西班牙城市帕洛斯出了两条稍小的三桅帆船“平塔“号和”尼娜“号。这支75人的队伍就从帕洛斯起航了,朝着哥伦布心目中的亚洲向西进发。起初贸易风强劲,船队顺风顺水,十分顺利。但接着风就不那么帮忙了,日子一天天过去,水手们开始抱怨船长的计划异想天开。为了鼓舞士气,哥伦布向大家描绘了一番金银财宝任取任拿的灿烂前景。尽管如此,大家仍心存疑虑。最后,他承诺,如果三天后还见不到陆地,就打道回府。
1492年10月12日一大早,在海上整整航行了33天之后,“圣玛利亚”号上的嘹望员突然放声大喊:“啊!陆地!”那是巴哈马群岛的一座岛屿,哥伦布把它命名为圣萨尔瓦多(意为“神圣的救世主”)。哥伦布自己估算,他差不多到了东印度群岛,所以管那儿的人叫印第安人。在他的描述中,印第安人浑身赤裸,“身体壮实,身材健美,长相标致”。阿拉瓦克印第安人划着挖空树干做成的独木舟,出来迎接,给这群陌生人献礼。他们慷慨热情,性情温顺,哥伦布在《航海日记》中写道,“他们倾其所有,邀君共享,一腔热忱,绝无保留。”他还写道,“只需50人便足以降伏他们,任我差遣。”解析： 暂无解析 -

The Beginning of American Literature America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that hope.When,however,does American literature begin?
American literature begins with American experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,native Americans lived here.Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.Another kind of experience,one filled with fear and excitement,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilder- ness tell unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years. Experience,then, is the key to early American literature.
The New World provided a great variety of experiences,and these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers.These writers included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.
They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners-they are all the creators of the first American literature.What does"that hope"in the first paragraph refer to?
A:The hope that America would be discovered.
B:The hope to start a new life.
C:The hope to see the mysteries of the New Worid.
D:The hope to find poverty here.答案：B解析：由文章第一段第二句话“… a genuine hope of a new life …”可知，that hope指的是人们对在美洲新大陆开始新生活的希望。故选B。

由文章最后一段第四句话“They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd , wh thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”可知，这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见，一些英国作家对美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。 -

American literature begins with American experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,native Americans lived here.Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.Another kind of experience,one filled with fear and excitement,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilder- ness tell unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years. Experience,then, is the key to early American literature.
The New World provided a great variety of experiences,and these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers.These writers included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.
They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners-they are all the creators of the first American literature.What can we learn from the literature of the tribes of the native Americans?
A:About the everyday life of the native Americans.
B:About the arrival of Columbus.
C:About the experience of the first European settlers.
D:About the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.答案：A解析：由文章第一段第二句话“… a genuine hope of a new life …”可知，that hope指的是人们对在美洲新大陆开始新生活的希望。故选B。
由文章第二段第二句可知，早在大约公元1000年北欧人发现美洲之前，美洲土著居民就居住在这里。第一句说“美国文学来源于美国人的生活经历”，由此可知，美国文学产生于公元1000年前就居住在这里的美洲土著居民的生活经历。故选D。
由文章第二段第三句话“Each tribe ' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of dail life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.”可知，美洲土部落的文学是他们日常生活的真实写照。故选A。
文章最后一段的第一句话“Experience , then , is the key to early American literature."本段的主题句，说的是：美洲的生活经历是美国早期文学产生的关键因素。故选D。
由文章最后一段第四句话“They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd , wh thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”可知，这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见，一些英国作家对美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。 -

Linda: Right, well, my name is Linda Goodyear. And I'd like briefly to tell you why I think you should choose me as your rep. Hmm, these are the things I will try something about, try to improve, or…I mean, do. So I think we all know the careers of advice service needs a bit of improvement, so I'd work to improve that, especially we need more practical advice about getting work experience, not in this country, I mean, overseas. And another thing I think we should press for is a close link with businesses and companies where I can actually go on visits. I think we should try to get around. I mean not ever just locally but all over the midlands. So we actually see a greater variety of ways of doing things, rather than hearing about them. Then, the next thing I think important is something…quite involved with myself. That’s the voluntary work with the homeless. I’d like to get more people here in the college involved either directly or I hope with raising money. And last of all, I’d like to push the college authorities really hard for some new furniture for students’ common room. Thank you very much. Please vote for me.
Darrell: Hi, everybody. I expect you may know my name is Darren Whiting. I really like to be your student rep this year and well, here is what I try to do for you, for us. First, I’ll take on the canteen and try to stop them putting up price of hot meals as they said they will. Then the next thing is, well, I’d organize a book exchange throughout the whole college, like already exists in the maths department, to save money on expensive textbooks that we all have to have, but don’t need for the whole course. Another thing we badly need in this college is a Student Advice Center. We need a place run by students for students where people can drop in and get advice about any sorts of problems, academic or welfare or whatever. We also need to take on the college authorities on the subject of accommodation for students who need it. I mean the situation at the moment is crazy, with no proper system for deciding who gets the accommodation or why. I want to change that. And lastly, I want to get in more speakers from all political backgrounds, and from industry, and so on, to help people more aware of, you know, what’s going on in the world today. Because we’ll all be out there soon, like it or not. Please vote for me. Thanks for your listening.解析： 暂无解析
