Answer:

Exercise 1:

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

One of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a

woman who spent almost half of her long life in China, a country on a

continent thousands of miles from the United States. In her lifetime she

earned this country's most highly acclaimed literary award, the Pulitzer

Prize, and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world,

the Nobel Prize for Literature. Pearl S. Buck was almost a household name

throughout much of her lifetime because of her prolific literary output, which

consisted of some eighty five published works, including several dozen

novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children, and more

than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some

twenty-five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were

set in China, the land in which she spent a great part of her life. Her books

and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the

West. As the product of those two cultures she became (as she described

herself), "mentally bifocal." Her unique background made her an unusually

Interesting and versatile human being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck,

we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate

people: a wife and mother, an Internationally famous writer and a

humanitarian and philanthropist. One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck

without learning about each of the three. Though honoured in her lifetime

with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and

Letters, in addition to the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, Pearl Buck as a total

human being (not only a famous author) is a captivating subject of study.

1. What is the author's main purpose in the passage?

(A) To offer a criticism of the works of Pearl Buck.

(8) To illustrate Pearl Buck's views on Chinese literature

74

(C) To indicate the background and diverse interests of Pearl Buck

(D) To discuss Pearl Buck's influence on the cultures of the East and the

West
