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 wrote his best work A. in an expressive style B. before receiving the Noble Prize C. while he was feeling elated D. guided by his contemporaries. 74.

D. honor Noble Prize winners of the past. Text 2 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. -THE END- .
