All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.” During their trip down the Mississippi on a raft, Twain describes in a satirical (嘲讽的) and humorous way Huck and Jims encounters with hypocrisy, racism, violence and other evils of American society. His use in serious literature of a lively, simple American language full of dialect and informal spoken expressions paved the way for many later writers, including Hemingway and William Faulkner.Gone with the WindThe most popular romance novel of all time was the basis for the most popular movie of all time (in todays dollars). Margaret Mitchells book, Gone with the Wind, set in the South during the Civil War, won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, and it remains popular, despite charges that its author had a blind eye regarding the horrors of slavery.Leaves of GrassThe publication of the first slim edition of Walt Whitmans “Leaves of Grass” in 1855 was the first appearance of a masterpiece that shifted the course of American literary history. Refreshing and bold in both theme and style, the book experienced many revisions during Whitmans lifetime. Over almost 40 years Whitman produced multiple editions of “Leaves of Grass”， shaping the book into an evertransforming kaleidoscope (千变万化) of poems. By his death in 1892, “Leaves” was a thick summary that represented Whitmans view of America over nearly the entire last half of the 19th century. Among the collections bestknown poems are “I Sing the Body Electric”， “Song of Myself”， and “O Captain! My Captain！” in praise of Abraham Lincoln.The American Womans HomeThis classic domestic guide, The American Womans Home, by sisters Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe is dedicated to “the women of America, in whose hands rest the real fates of the Republic.” It includes chapters on healthful cookery, home decoration, exercise, cleanliness, good air ventilation (通风方法) and heat, etiquette, sewing, gardening and care of children, the sick, the aged and domestic animals. Intended to elevate the “womans sphere” of household management to a respectable profession based on scientific principles, it became the standard domestic handbook.1.Which of the following best describes Ernest Hemingways feelings for Mark Twains book?AWonderful.BDisappointing.CPainful.

BEconomy.CEducation. DEntertainment.答 案.1.选B根据答句中“Weve prepared a surprise party for him.”可知，“我”没有忘记“我们”的外教这周末要回来这件事。How could I意为“我怎么会(忘)呢”，符合语境。故选B项。2选B句意：2012公告牌音乐奖其中一个最吸引人之处就是大多数歌手为其盛装打扮。此处的attractions, show都表特指意义，故都用定冠词the。3选D答句句意：海啸袭击了她的国家的消息引发了她的思乡之情。set off“引发；引起”，与句意相符。4选B句意：人们怀疑749美元对于一部iPhone 5C来说是否太贵了。doubt作名词且用于肯定句时，后跟whether引导的同位语从句。5选B句意：一些高官受到法律的惩罚仅仅是因为他们占有了不属于他们的东西。in possession of“拥有”，符合句意。in the possession of“为所拥有”。6选B句意：这位女模特戴着一副太阳镜登场，她美丽的脸被竖起的衣领遮挡。hide与其逻辑主语her beautiful face 之间为被动关系，故选过去分词。7选D句意：直到那年他从非洲回来，他才遇到了想娶的姑娘。marry“娶，嫁”，后直接跟某人，不用任何介词；若用get married或be married，后面需用to。另外，get married表动作；be married表状态。8选A句意：面试过后几天，我收到了大学的录取通知书。letter和offer是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词作定语，这里并不强调动作的先后顺序，故用现在分词的一般式。9选Astood作状语表示被动和完成，to stand作状语表示目的，standing作状语表示主动和进行，根据题意，stand的逻辑主语是I，两者之间是主谓关系，故A项正确。10选B在if引导的条件状
