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.According to the last paragraph,which of the following statements is true about American literature?
A:Some British writers started American literature.
B:Early-day American literature is a reflection of the boring life then.
C:Some British writers had'doubts about the future of American literature.
D:Some British writers had great confidence in the future of American literature.答案：D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。 -

第15题：
B
For several years，Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone． Now，teleshopping is starting in Europe．ln a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys and many others things．
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden． For example，the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $ 100 million．In France，there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels．
In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour ev-ery day． Then the government allowed more teleshopping． Other channels can open for telebusi-ness，including teleshopping companies． German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things．
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes． With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason．But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping． They call teleshopping "just on the air． "Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV． Good quality is important to them，and they believe they can't be sure about the quality of the things on TV．
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will be different from the American companies． They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell． They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can-t touch or see in person．
( )26．In which country people can go teleshopping?
A． America and all the European countries．
B． Australia and some European countries．
C． The USA and many European countries．
D． America and many developed countries．
正确答案：C
26.C【解析】文中一开始就谈到了美国人的几种购物方法·接着谈到了“a number of European countries"， “a number of"就相当于“many”，所以选C。 -

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。 -

第23题：
问答题Abstract Expressionism Abstract expressionism was the name for an artistic movement that emerged in the USA during the 1950s. It was also known as the New York School since most of the important artists lived there, at least for a time. During World War II many influential artists had fled the fighting and persecution of Europe and ended up in New York. The Abstract Expressionist group were made up of artists who had either come from Europe or who were directly influenced by the styles and techniques of those who had. Abstract Expressionism is a term used for art that uses elements of Expressionism in an abstract way. They were also influenced by Surrealism. Expressionist artists used symbols and particular styles of painting to express feelings or emotions. Surrealists tried to express the subconscious by using through the actual process of painting. The physical property of paint (what it was like) was what was important. The style and the subject (what the painting was of) had lost all significance. The recognition of the Abstract Expressionists by the art world meant that for the first time the USA became known as an important force in avant-garde art. The term avant-garde is often used in art, and is used to describe anything radically new or different. The Abstract Expressionists fitted this description perfectly. For the first time it was the physical act of painting that was important rather than the end product. The New York School was not, in the strictest sense, an artistic movement. The Abstract Expressionists included artists who had each developed their own individual styles. But there were enough similarities in the way they thought about and approached painting that gradually the group became known as the Abstract Expressionists. Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner and Franz Kline all became recognized for a technique called action painting. This was where spontaneous physical movement and gestures were used to produce paintings. The term action painting was originally used by the art critic Harold Rosenberg. He was referring to Jackson Pollock, who became famous for his drip paintings. Pollock used a revolutionary new technique, which involved dripping, pouring or squirting the paint from syringes directly onto the canvases. We now use the term action painting in a wider sense to refer to any technique of making a painting with energetic and spontaneous application of paint. Other artists who also fall under the title of Abstract Expressionists include Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Clyfford Still. These artists invented a softer, calmer technique where paint is applied with brushes in large areas, or fields, of color covers the whole picture surface. This technique became known as color field painting. Both the action and color field painters shared methods and ideals. Paint is applied in bold, simple brushstrokes, dribbles or splashes, with blocks of color to make the maximum visual impact. The huge physical size of the paintings matched the artists’ grand philosophical ideas. Abstract Expressionists all shared a philosophy about painting. Paintings were a search for truth, or the hidden meaning of life. The artists tried to find a way of painting that did not have to follow any particular style or school ofart. This way people would not associate the painting with anything else. They would just look at it as a painting and form their own ideas of what it meant.正确答案： 【参考译文】
抽象表现主义 抽象表现主义是20世纪50年代开始在美国兴起的,又称为“纽约画派”。在二战期间,许多富有影响力的欧洲艺术家,为了躲避连绵的战事和迫害,迁至纽约定居。这些人后来成为抽象表现主义的奠基人,而那些没有欧洲渊源的艺术家,其艺术风格和绘画技巧也受到他们的直接影响。
从表现技巧上说,抽象表现主义既是表现主义绘画元素的抽象运用,又受到超现实主义的影响。表现主义运用各种象征符号或是特殊的绘画风格来表现画家的情感和感受。超现实主义强调潜意识,运用扭曲的线条和富有象征意义的形象来表现作品。而抽象表现主义重视的是实际的绘画过程,它关注的是画作本身,而不是绘画的风格和描绘的对象。
抽象表现主义使得美国首次成为国际公认的前卫艺术中心。在艺术领域中,“前卫艺术”这一术语代表了标新立异,用它来形容抽象表现主义真是再合适不过了。绘画过程本身则被艺术家重视起来。真正的艺术不是作品本身而是它们在人们大脑中的意义。正是这种不断解读从而延长了作品生命。
从严格意义上讲,纽约画派并不是一项艺术运动,它是一群自成风格的艺术家的总称。抽象表现主义画家们很少形成固定的营垒,但是由于其观念相近,对作品的表现手法也存在着极大的共同之处。
就表现技巧而言,“行动画派”强调即席创作,以直觉的行动和姿态来做画。杰克逊·波洛克(Jackson Pollock)、威廉·德·库宁(Willem de Kooning)、海伦·弗兰肯萨勒(Helen Frankenthaler)、李·克拉斯(Lee Krasner)和弗朗兹·克莱因(Franz Kline)都属于此派。“行动画派”的称谓最早是艺术评论家罗伯特·科茨(Robert Coates)在评论波洛克的作品时提出的。波洛克以其“滴画”技术而闻名。这一技法的革新性在于它抛弃了传统的作画方式,运用滴、泼或是水枪喷洒的方式直接在画布上作画。现在,“行动画派”被赋予了更为广泛的内容,泛指所有富有生命力和即兴的创作技巧。
“色域画派”是抽象表现主义的另一重要分支。其代表人物是巴尼特·纽曼(Barnett Newman)、马克·罗思科(Mark Rothko)和克里福德·斯蒂尔(Clyfford Still)。其方法是先画出鲜明清晰的线条轮廓再着色成画,作品讲究色域间强烈的色调对比,精细安排的色调差异,追求光滑完整、不显手法笔触痕迹的画面效果。有时甚至可以说是一种颜色直接加入到另一色域之中。
“行动画派”和“色域画派”的画家有着类似的创作技巧和创作理念。他们尽情挥洒着大胆、粗犷的线条,滴、溅、喷、洒,运用大面积的色块来营造最强烈的视觉效果。与此同时,巨幅的画面也表现了这些画家的艺术主张。他们认为绘画是为了寻求“真”,或者说不为人知的生命的意义。画家们竭力寻求一种独特的创作技巧,无需跟随于任何固有的风格或流派。这样人们就可以不受干扰、全神贯注地欣赏画作,体会作品本身给他们带来的感受,进而形成自己对作品的理解。解析： 暂无解析
