Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [a], [b], [c] and [d]. You should decide on the best choice and then mark it on the answer sheet. Passage 1 Despite their many differences of temperament and of litera ry perspective, Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melvill, and Whitman share certain belie fs. Common to all these writers is their humanistic perspective. Its basic premises are that humans are the spiritual center of the universe and that in them alone i s the clue to nature, history, and ultimately the cosmos itself. Without denying outright the existance either of a deity or of brute matter, this perspective neverthless rejects them as exclusive princinples of their interpretation and prefers to explain humans and the world in terms of humanity itself. This preference is expressived most clearly in the

transcendentalist principle that the structure of the individual self; therefore, all knowledge begins with self-knowledge. This common perspective is almost always univeralized. Its emphasis is not upon the individual as a particular European or American, but upon the human as universal, freed from the accidence of times, space, birth, and talent. Thus, for Emerson, the “American scholar” turns out to be simply “Man Thinking”; while, for Whitman, the “song of myself” merges imperceptibly into a song of all the “children of Adam,” where “every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.” Also common to all the five writers is the belief that individual viture and happiness depend upon self-realization, which, in turn, depends upon the harmonious reconciliation of two universal psychological tendences: first the self-asserting impulse of the individual to withdral, to remain uniqie and separate, and to be responsible only to himself or herself and second, the self-transcdending impuse of the individual to embrace the whole world in the experience of a single moment and to know and become one with that world. These conflicting impuses can be seen in the demoncratic ethic. Democracy advocate individualism the preservation of the individual’s freedom and self-expression. But the democratic self torn beween the duty to self, which is implied by the concept of liberty, and duty to soceity, which is implied by the concept of liberty, and duty to soceity, whch is implied by the concepts of equlity and fraternity. A thid assumption common to the five writers is that intuition and imagination offer a surer road to truth than does abstract logic or scientific method. It is illustrated by their emphasis upon introspection—their belief that the clue to external nature is to

be found in the inner world of individual pschology---and by their interpretation of experience as, in essence, symbolic. Both these stresses presume an organic relationship between the self and the cosmos of which only intuition and imagination can properly take account. These writer’s faith in the imagination and in themselves as practioners of imagination led them to conceive of the writer as a seer and enabled them to achieve supreme confidence in their moral and metaphysical insights. 31. The ahthor’s discussion of Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melvill, and Whit man is primarily concerned with explaining ___________. a. some of their beliefs about the difficulties invovled in self-realization. b. some of their belefs concerning the world and place that humani ty occupies in the universal order. c. some of their belefs concerning therelationship between humanism and demoncracy. d. the way some of their beliefs are shaped by differences in temperament and literary outlook. 32. The author quotes Whitman primarily in oder to ________. a. show that the poet does not agree with Emerson b. indicate the way the poet uses the humanist ideal to praise himself. c. suggest that the poet adapts the basic premises of humanism to his own individual outlook on the world d. illustrates a way the poet expresses the relationship of the individual to the humanistic universe 33. According to the passage, the five writers object to the scientific method primarily because they think it __________. a. is not the best way to obtain an understanding of the relationship beteen the individual and cosmos

b. is so specialized that it leads to an understanding of separate parts of the universe but not of the relationship among those parts c. cannot provide an adequate explanation of intuition and imagination d. prevents people from recognizing the symbolic nature of experience 34. It can be infered that intuition is important to the five writers primarily because it provides them with _________. a. information useful for understanding abstract logic and scientific method b. the discipline needed in the search for truth c. inspiration for their best writing d. clues to the interpretation of symbolic experience 35. It can be inferred that the idea of “an organic relationship between the self and the cosmos” is necessary to the thinking of the five writers because such a relationship _______. a. enables them to assert the importance of the democratic ethic b. justifies their concept of the freedom of the individual c. sustains their faith in the existance of a individual d. is the foundation of their humanistic view of existance Passage 2 There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increa singly common in newspaper classified columns.It is sometimes placed among “situations vacent”, although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.” “Contest us bofore wtiting your application”, or “make use of our lone xperience

in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history”, is how it is usually expressed. The grownth and apparent success of such a apecialized service is, of course, a reflectionon the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication on the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job history), with the suggestion that it now qualify as an art form in its own right.There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application, “Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything eles could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you coule writen and available for work. Your eager face and intellegent replies did the rest. Later, as you move up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which which would distinguish you form the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for” was widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature especially designed for the job interview. There is, however, that it is the increasing number of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae. 36. The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns ________. a. informs job hunter of the opptunities available b. promises useful advice to those looking for employment
