This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the
last half of the 19“’ century was accompanied by the development of a national literature of
great abundance and variety. Line New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new
authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this half century. As a result, at the
onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved
remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York In the late
1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer was it produced,
at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New
England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct,
middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives no longer were these
narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction,
poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no
longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women. In sum,
American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt
Whitman called for inl867 in describing Leaves of Grass: It treats, he said of his own major
work, each state and region as peers “and expands from them, and includes the world …
connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations.” At the same time, these
years saw the emergence of what has been designated “the literature of argument,” powerful
works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of
exposure and reform. Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an
 autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature
establish itself as a producer of major works.

67. The main idea of this passage is …

A. that the new American literature was less provincial than the old

Questions 77-80 refer to the following passage

Awarded the Nobel prize for physics in 1918, German physics Max Planck is best remembered
as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped user in a new era in theoretical physics
and revolutionized the scientific community’s understanding of atomic and sub-atomic
processes.

Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of
twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the
distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequencies. He had developed a
theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model
required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles
were later called quantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by
multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E,
equals hv. The constant, h, is known as Planck’s constant. It is now recognized as one of the
fundamental constants of the world.

Planck announced his finding in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his
revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant
contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, and other
fields. In 1930, He was elected president of the Kaiser Wilhelm society, which was renamed the
Max II. Though deeply opposed to the fascist regime of Adolf Hitler, Planck remained in
Germany throughout the war. He died in Gottingen on October 4, 1947.
