Before the Noble Prize in literature was awarded to John Steinbeck in 1962, only five Americans had
been previously thus honored, the most recent being Ernest Hemingway in 1954 and William Faulkner in 1949.
Steinbeck had been considered on those ocassions and also in 1945. As the honor is by far the greatest any
writer can receive, Steinbeck was elated. The feeling of the elation was tempered slightly, however, by the
observation expressed by Steinbeck in 1956, that recipients of the Noble Prize seldom write anything of value
afterwards. He cited Hemingway and Faulkner as examples, minimizing the point that by the time of their
selection most writers had already written their best work. At the age of 60, when he received the award
3
himself, Steinbeck wrote to a friend that he would have accepted the award had he not believed that he would
continue to write well, that he “could beat the rap” like his contemporaries, and others as well, however, he did
not.
There was no expectation or need that the writer do so, for Steineck had long since made his mark in
modern American literature.
71. According to the passage, Steinbeck observed that authors who receive the Noble Prize for literature
A. had already finished writing popular works.
B.should follow the examples of Hemingway and Faulkner.
C.rarely write significant works afterwards.

In its short history,the art of motion pictures has frequently undergone changes that seemed
fundamental, such as that resulting from the introduction of sound. It exists today in styles that differ
significantly from country to country and in forms that diverse as the documentary created by one man with a
hand-held camera and the multimillion-dollar “epic”, involving hundreds of performers and technicians. Despite
its diversity, however, an essential unchanging nature can be discerned in most of its manifestations. A number
of factors immediately come to mind in connection with the motion picture experience. For one thing, there is
something mildly hypnotic about the illusion of movement that holds the attention and may even lower critical
resistance. Also, the accuracy of the motion picture image is compelling because it is made by a nonhuman,
scientific process. And, the motion picture gives what has been called a strong sense of being present: the film
image always appears to be in the present tense. There is also the concrete nature of film it appears to show the
actual people and things. No less important than any of the above are the conditions under which the motion
picture ideally is seen, where everything helps to dominate the spectator. He or she is taken from the everyday
envirorment, partially isolidated from others, and comfortably seated in an air-conditioned auditorium. There,
the darkness concentrates attention and prevents comparision of the image on the screen with the objects or
people around the veiwer. For a while, the motion picture unfolds the world in which the spectator lives.
76.Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Motion pictures vary greatly from country to country
B. The fundamental characteristics of motion pictures remain unchanged.
C. Motion pictures have been modified over the years.
D. The styles of motion pictures have become significantly different.
77.According to the passage which can be most simply made type of motion picture?
A. A doccumentary B. An accurate one C. An epic D. A hypnotic one
78. Which of the following statements does the author NOT include as part of the motion picture
experience?
A. The viewing environment controls the spectator
B. The spectator is somewhat apart from other viewers.

C. The viewer becomes fascinated by the action on the screen.
D. The spectator realises that events on the screen are false.
79.The nature of movies are most comparable to which one of the following activities?
A. Dancing at a party B. Drawing a picture
C. Describing a picture D.Reading a book.
80. The author most probably believes that the main purpose of movies is to allow the audience to
A. see actual places, people, things.
B. be entertained in a comfortable setting.
C. escapse from the real world.
D. enjoy the results of a scientific process.

Before the Noble Prize in literature was awarded to John Steinbeck in 1962, only five Americans had
been previously thus honored, the most recent being Ernest Hemingway in 1954 and William Faulkner in 1949.
Steinbeck had been considered on those ocassions and also in 1945. As the honor is by far the greatest any
writer can receive, Steinbeck was elated. The feeling of the elation was tempered slightly, however, by the
observation expressed by Steinbeck in 1956, that recipients of the Noble Prize seldom write anything of value
afterwards. He cited Hemingway and Faulkner as examples, minimizing the point that by the time of their
selection most writers had already written their best work. At the age of 60, when he received the award
himself, Steinbeck wrote to a friend that he would have accepted the award had he not believed that he would
continue to write well, that he “could beat the rap” like his contemporaries, and others as well, however, he did
not.
There was no expectation or need that the writer do so, for Steineck had long since made his mark in
modern American literature.
71. According to the passage, Steinbeck observed that authors who receive the Noble Prize for literature
A. rarely write significant works afterwards.
B. should follow the examples of Hemingway and Faulkner.
C . had already finished writing popular works.
D. are among the greatest contemporary writers.
72. In what year was Steinbeck 60 years old?
A. 1949 B. 1962 C.1956 D. 1954
73. According to the passage, Steinbeck wrote his best work
A. in an expressive style B. . while he was feeling elated
C. before receiving the Noble Prize D. guided by his contemporaries.
74. Before 1949, how many Americans had received the Noble Prize for literature?
A. 2 B. 5 C. 4 D. 3

75. In the second paragraph, the phrase “ do so” refers to
A. write well after receiving the Noble Prize earlier. B. accepted Noble Prize if nominated
C. feel elated at receiving the Noble Prize D. honor Noble Prize winners of the past.

In its short history,the art of motion pictures has frequently undergone changes that seemed
fundamental, such as that resulting from the introduction of sound. It exists today in styles that differ
significantly from country to country and in forms that diverse as the documentary created by one man with a
hand-held camera and the multimillion-dollar “epic”, involving hundreds of performers and technicians. Despite
its diversity, however, an essential unchanging nature can be discerned in most of its manifestations. A number
of factors immediately come to mind in connection with the motion picture experience. For one thing, there is
something mildly hypnotic about the illusion of movement that holds the attention and may even lower critical
resistance. Also, the accuracy of the motion picture image is compelling because it is made by a nonhuman,
scientific process. And, the motion picture gives what has been called a strong sense of being present: the film
image always appears to be in the present tense. There is also the concrete nature of film it appears to show the
actual people and things. No less important than any of the above are the conditions under which the motion
picture ideally is seen, where everything helps to dominate the spectator. He or she is taken from the everyday
envirorment, partially isolidated from others, and comfortably seated in an air-conditioned auditorium. There,
the darkness concentrates attention and prevents comparision of the image on the screen with the objects or
people around the veiwer. For a while, the motion picture unfolds the world in which the spectator lives.
76. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Motion pictures have been modified over the years.
B. The fundamental characteristics of motion pictures remain unchanged.
C. Motion pictures vary greatly from country to country
D. The styles of motion pictures have become significantly different.
77. According to the passage which can be most simply made type of motion picture?
A. A doccumentary B. A hypnotic one C. An epic D. An accurate one
78. Which of the following statements does the author NOT include as part of the motion picture
experience?
A. The viewing environment controls the spectator
B. The spectator realizes that events on the screen are false.

C. The viewer becomes fascinated by the action on the screen.
D. The spectator is somewhat apart from other viewers.
79.The nature of movies are most comparable to which one of the following activities?
A. Describing a picture B. Drawing a picture
C. Dancing at a party D.Reading a book.
80. The author most probably believes that the main purpose of movies is to allow the audience to
A. see actual places, people, things.
B. enjoy the results of a scientific process.
12
C. escapse from the real world.
D. be entertained in a comfortable setting
