海明威的《印第安营寨》是《在我们的时代里》所收的14篇小说之一。这个题目颇具有讽刺意味，因为小说里根本没有和平可言。《在我们的时代里》出自《普通祈祷者之书》中的词组：“上帝啊，在我们的时代里请赐给我们和平吧!”33.参考答案：D[解析]“迷惘的一代”作家群中有著名诗人庞德，威廉姆斯和福罗斯特。34.参考答案：D[解析]埃德蒙·斯宾塞、克里斯托夫·马洛和弗兰西斯·培根，都是文艺复兴时期的文学巨匠。35.参考答案：B[解析]斯威夫特作为一名优秀的散文作家，擅长写简练朴素的散文。他创立了一种良好的文风，即“在恰当的地方用恰当的词”。不论是散文、诗歌，还是小说，简洁、具体、精确，没有复杂的句式永远是他的写作风格。答案为B。36.参考答案：A[解析]狄金森的杰作《当我死时，我听见一只苍蝇在嗡嗡叫》是关于死亡时刻的描写。答案为A。37.参考答案：A38.参考答案：B主要考查的知识点为“湖畔诗人”的成员。1799年，华兹华斯从德国回到英格兰大湖区。诗人骚塞、科勒律治也居住在同一地域，三人并称为著名的“湖畔诗人”。39.参考答案：D[解析]除象征以外，麦尔维尔的语言才华，创造才华，心理分析能力，观察的敏捷以及生动的描述都使《白鲸》成为世界名著。答案为D。40.参考答案：D[解析]浪漫主义时代是诗歌的时代，代表诗人有布莱克、华兹华斯、科勒律治、拜伦、雪莱及济慈。41.参考答案：A[解析]Hemingway式的英雄不是那些胜利在望时的勇敢者，而是明知前面是失败却依然挺起胸膛无畏地走向死亡的人，即西西弗斯似的英雄。42.参考答案：B43.参考答案：B[解析]《虹》和《恋爱中的女人》被认为是戴维·赫伯特·劳伦斯的代表作。象征主义与复杂的陈述在这两部作品中更为广泛地得到应用。答案为B。44.参考答案：D[解析]惠特曼在《自我之歌》中表明了两大信仰：一是普遍性信仰，二是人类的个别性和平等性。答案为D。45.参考答案：D[解析]现代派小说家如多罗西·理查森、詹姆斯·乔伊斯和弗吉尼亚·沃尔夫都致力于挖掘人类各种潜意识。他们开创了史无前例的意识流小说，如理查森的《朝觐》(1915—1938)、乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》(1922年)、及沃尔夫的《黛洛维夫人》(1925年)。46.参考答案：A.InWilliamFaulkner'swritings,theplaceYoknapatawphaCountryisfrequentlysetasthebackgroundforthestories.ThisplaceisactuallyanimaginaryplacebasedonFaulkner'schildhoodmemoryabouttheplacewherehegrewup,thetownofOxfordinhisnativeLafayetteCountryintheAmericanSouth.
