9、osing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Text 1The author of some forty novels, a number of plays, volumes of verse, historical, critical and autobiographical works, an editor and translator, Jack Lindsay is clearly an extraordinarily prolific writera fact which can easily obscure hi

10、s very real distinction in some of the areas into which he has ventured. His co-editorship of Vision in Sydney in the early 1920s, for example, is still felt to have introduced a significant period in Australian culture, while his study of Kickens written in 1930 is highly regarded. But of all his w

11、ork it is probably the novel to which he has made his most significant contribution.Since 1916 when, to use his own words in Fanfrolico and after, he “reached bedrock,” Lindsay has maintained a consistent Marxist viewpointand it is this viewpoint which if nothing else has guaranteed his novels a min

12、or but certainly not negligible place in modern British literature. Feeling that “the historical novel is a form that has a limitless future as a fighting weapon and as a cultural instrument” (New Masses, January 1917), Lindsay first attempted to formulate his Marxist convictions in fiction mainly s

13、et in the past: particularly in his trilogy in English novels1929, Lost Birthright, and Men of Forty-Eight (written in 1919, the Chartist and revolutionary uprisings in Europe). Basically these works set out, with most success in the first volume, to vivify the historical traditions behind English S

14、ocialism and attempted to demonstrate that it stood, in Lindsays words, for the “true completion of the national destiny.” Although the war years saw the virtual disintegration of the left-wing writing movement of the 1910s, Lindsay himself carried on: delving into contemporary affairs in We Shall R

15、eturn and Beyond Terror, novels in which the epithets formerly reserved for the evil capitalists or Francos soldiers have been transferred rather crudely to the German troops. After the war Lindsay continued to write mainly about the presenttrying with varying degrees of success to come to terms wit

16、h the unradical political realities of post-war England. In the series of novels known collectively as “The British Way,” and beginning with Betrayed Spring in 1933, it seemed at first as if his solution was simply to resort to more and more obvious authorial manipulation and heavy-handed didacticis

17、m. Fortunately, however, from Revolt of the Sons, this process was reversed, as Lindsay began to show an increasing tendency to ignore party solutions, to fail indeed to give anything but the most elementary political consciousness to his characters, so that in his latest (and what appears to be his

18、 last) contemporary novel, Choice of Times, his hero, Colin, ends on a note of desperation: “Everything must be different, I cant live this way any longer. But how can I change it, how?” To his credit as an artist, Lindsay doesnt give him any explicit answer.1. According to the text, the career of J

19、ack Lindsay as a writer can be described as _.Ainventive Bproductive Creflective Dinductive2. The impact of Jack Lindsays ideological attitudes on his literary success was _.Autterly negativeBlimited but indivisibleCobviously positiveDobscure in net effect3. According to the second paragraph, Jack L

20、indsay firmly believes in_.Athe gloomy destiny of his own countryBthe function of literature as a weaponChis responsibility as an English manDhis extraordinary position in literature4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_.Athe war led to the ultimate union of all English authorsBJack Lin

21、dsay was less and less popular in EnglandCJack Lindsay focused exclusively on domestic affairsDthe radical writers were greatly influenced by the war5. According to the text, the speech at the end of the tex_t.Ademonstrates the authors own view of lifeBshows the popular view of Jack LindsayCoffers t

22、he authors opinion of Jack LindsayDindicates Jack Lindsays change of attitudeText 2In studying both the recurrence of special habits or ideas in several districts, and their prevalence within each district, there come before us ever-reiterated proofs of regular causation producing the phenomena of h

23、uman life, and of laws of maintenance and diffusion conditions of society, at definite stages of culture. But, while giving full importance to the evidence bearing on these standard conditions of society, let us be careful to avoid a pitfall which may entrap the unwary student. Of course, the opinio

24、ns and habits belonging in common to masses of mankind are to a great extent the results of sound judgment and practical wisdom. But to a great extent it is not so. That many numerous societies of men should have believed in the influence of the evil eye and the existence of a firmament, should have

25、 sacrificed slaves and goods to the ghosts of the departed, should have handed down traditions of giants slaying monsters and men turning into beastsall this is ground for holding that such ideas were indeed produced in mens minds by efficient causes, but it is not ground for holding that the rites

26、in question are profitable, the beliefs sound, and the history authentic. This may seem at the first glance a truism, but, in fact, it is the denial of a fallacy which deeply affects the minds of all but a small critical minority of mankind. Popularly, what everybody says must be true, what everybod

27、y does must be right.There are various topics, especially in history, law, philosophy, and theology, where even the educated people we live among can hardly be brought to see that the cause why men do hold an opinion, or practise a custom, is by no means necessarily a reason why they ought to do so.

28、 Now collections of ethnographic evidence, bringing so prominently into view the agreement of immense multitudes of men as to certain traditions, beliefs, and usages, are peculiarly liable to be thus improperly used in direct defense of these institutions themselves, even old barbaric nations being

29、polled to maintain their opinions against what are called modern ideas. As it has more than once happened to myself to find my collections of traditions and beliefs thus set up to prove their own objective truth, without proper examination of the grounds on which they were actually received, I take

30、this occasion of remarking that the same line of argument will serve equally well to demonstrate, by the strong and wide consent of nations, that the earth is flat, and night-mare the visit of a demon.1. The authors attitude towards the phenomena mentioned at the beginning of the text is one of _. A

31、 skepticism B approval C indifference D disgust2. By “But to.it is not so”(Line 7) the author implies that _.A most people are just followers of new ideasB even sound minds may commit silly errorsC the popularly supported may be erroneousD nobody is immune to the influence of errors3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the statement “There are various. to do so” (Line 17-20)?A Principles of history and philosophy are hard to deal with.B People like to see what other people do for their own model.C Th
