Time Limit: Three Hours Total Points: 150

All answers must be written on the answer sheets.

Section 1 Matching(30 points)

Match each of the following ten passages with its source. There are more sources than passages here, and one source may be matched with more than one passage.

Write the passage number and the corresponding source letter for each answer. For example, suppose Passage 11 is the following:

Only one same reason is shared by all of us: we wish to create worlds as real as, but other than the world that is. Or was. This is why we cannot plan. We know a world is an organism, not a machine. We also know that a genuinely created world must be independent of its creator; a planned world (a world that fully reveals its planning) is a dead world. It is only when our characters and events begin to disobey us that they begin to live.

And its source is [M] John Fowles. Then your answer will be 11M.

[Al Geoffrey Chaucer [G] Ernest Hemingway

[B] Kate Chopin [H] John Keats

[C] Joseph Conrad [I] D. H. Lawrence

[D] Frederick Douglass [J] Percy Bysshe Shelley

Passages

2. The migrant people, scuttling for work, scrabbling to live, looked always for pleasure, dug for pleasure, manufactured pleasure, and they were hungry for amusement.

3. A green and yellow parrot, which hung in a cage outside the door, kept repeating over and over:

"Allez vous-en.t Allez vous-en! Sapristi.t That's all fight!"

4. In that dizzy moment her feet to her scarce seemed to touch the ground, and a moment brought, her to the water's edge. Right on behind they came, and, nerved with strength such as God gives only to the desperate, with one wild cry, and flying leap, she vaulted sheer over the turbid current by the shore, on to the raft of ice beyond.

5. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it.
