B
Zora Neale Hurston proves to be a study in contrasts a black writer reaching a white audience,a woman struggling in a man's profession,an independent thinker living in a conformist(墨守成规的) era. Now,almost 50 years since her death,her hard work and great novels still have much to teach the modem audience. She overcame the challenges she faced and showed that determination makes anything possible.
Hurston thought much of her deeply individualistic personality was developed because of the experience of growing up in Eatonville,Florida. The town was unique in that it was particularly hot in the summer,but mild at other times of the year. Hurston always said growing up in a community totally separate from the larger white society allowed her freedom and independence not available to everyone in the south.
Hurston began her undergraduate studies at Howard University,but her obvious intelligence and talent soon earned her a scholarship to Barnard College in New York City. Moving north in the 1920s helped her get to know the Harlem Renaissance,a black cultural movement that produced exceptional achievements in literature,art,and music. Communicating with the likes of Langston Hughes,W.E. B. DuBois,Billie Holiday,and Duke Ellington,Hurston developed her skills as a writer and published lots of short stories and poems.
Her most influential work grew out of her attempt to record the black experience. That novel,called Their Eyes Were Watching God,was about three generations of a family living in Eatonville. Her interesting representation of the southern dialect caused her Harlem Renaissance contemporaries to look down upon the work for what they saw as its spread of inaccurate patterns. Hurston,however,remained true to her project,believing that the accuracy of her representation would finally win over the political pressures her peers forced her to accept.
History has shown that Hurston was right. Modem critics admire her authentic(真实的) and skillful representation of the language as well as her realistic description of daily life in the early twentieth century. She is universally considered as one of the best writers of her era and ranked with Toni Morrison,Maya Angelou,and Alice Walker as one of the most important African-American writers of all time.
6. Hurston grew up in a town where .
A. a larger white society existed
B. all the four seasons were like spring
C. the black people could enjoy much freedom
D. the black people had no chance to get. an education
7. What happened to Hurston after she moved north?
A. She changed her political attitude.
B. She decided to give up her studies.
C. She developed an interest in literature.
D. She was warmly welcomed by the white.
8. At her times,Hurston's works were .
A. special in the way they were published
B. not popular with the general audience
C. mostly written in standard English
D. good examples of African history
9. What can we learn from Hurston's story?
A. It's easy to be wise after the event.
B. Where there is a will,there is a way.
C. A good beginning makes a good ending.
D. In time of danger,one's mind works fast.
10. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. The origins of a black cultural movement.
B. A very influential African-American novel.
C. A famous African-American female writer.
D. The struggle between the white and the black.
