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 word throughout much of her life time 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 so much 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 into 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 (慈善家). One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck without learning about each of the three. Though honored 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. [br] What is the main purpose of the passage?
选项
A、To offer a criterion of the works of Pearl Buck.
B、To illustrate Pearl Buck’s views on Chinese literature.
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.
答案
C
解析
该题为主旨大意题。纵览全文可知本文介绍了赛珍珠的文学成就、部分生活经历和其它方面。文章虽然较多地介绍了赛珍珠的文学成就,但并不是提供了赛珍珠的作品的标准,故选项A不对;文章提及东西方文化对她的影响,并在其作品中有所体现,未涉及她对中国文学的观点,故选项B不对;同样,选项D为赛珍珠对东西方文化的影响,和原文意义相反,也不正确。选项C体现了本文的目的,即介绍赛珍珠的背景、文学成就和其它方面,故为本题正确答案。
