4、The Beginning of American Literature
American 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 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 1,000, Native Americans lived here. Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining 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 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 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 years 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 owner-they are all the creators of the first American literature.
The main purpose of the last paragraph is to tell the readers that .【单选题】

A.in the early days most American writers were from Great Britain

B.people with rich life experiences became writers

C.there were many writers in the early days of American history

D.early-day experience provided the foundation for American literature

正确答案:D

答案解析:这一段的第1句是本段的主题句，而D则是该主题句的释义。

5、Women Staying in Mini-Skirts for Longer
British women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of40, according to research by Debenhams.
Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt. after the age of 33, the store said. "It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies and are happy to dress accordingly," it added in a statement. "If this trend continues, there's no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s and early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe. "
The figures emerged when the store examined the latest age profile of women buying short,36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of36-years-old at the start of millennium to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old, a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s.
The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym culture, providing women with well toned bodies for longer may be the reason, The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor.
The Debenhams' study showed that a modern woman's love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesn't buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistband of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt.
Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16 and 19, reducing in size from 46 to 36 cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 and 27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their first stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention, the store said.
However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of27 and 34, as those early relationships break down, and new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee for the very first time since school days at the age of42.
Which of the following statements about the length of the mini-skirts is true_____?【单选题】

A.At the age of 14, girls often wear mini-skirts which are about 46cm in size.

B.Girls at the age of 19 wear the shortest mini-skirts.

C.At the age of 23, most girls wear mini-skirts which are 37cm long.

D.From the age of 23, skirt length increases because girls are in their first stable relationship.

正确答案:D

答案解析:从倒数第2段可知，从23岁开始，女性所穿着的超短裙长度从32cm渐增至37cm，主要是因为这个阶段她们普遍有了稳定的恋爱关系。
