　　C）SomeBritishwritershaddoubtsaboutthefutureofAmericanliterature.

　　D）SomeBritishwritershadgreatconfidenceinthefutureofAmericanliterature.

　　1.B.解析：

首先找到“thathope”在文章中的位置：

　　（第一段）Americanhasalwaysbeenalandofbeginnings.After（在..之后）Europeans“discovered”（发现）Americainthefifteenthcentury（世纪）,themysterious（神秘的）NewWorldbecameformanypeopleagenuine（真正的，真诚的）hopeofanewlife,anescapefrom（逃避）povertyandpersecution（迫害）,achance（机会）tostart（开始）again（再次）.Wecansaythat,asnation,Americabeginswiththathope.When,however,doesAmericanliteraturebegin?

　　“thathope”就是指前一句中的agenuinehopeofanewlife/开始新生活的真诚希望。

　　2.D.利用问题句及被选项中的特征词，细节信息词/结构（字体加粗，带有下划线）作为答案线索，在文章中查找答案相关句：

　　提示1：

　　如果词汇掌握不够好，可以考虑利用句子开头部分的主语（位于陈述句中谓语动词之前，疑问句中的主动词之后的结构），介词后带出的非ing形式的宾语结构，定冠词/不定冠词后的结构作为可考虑利用的反应细节信息的词语/结构。

　　提示2：

　　线索词集中出现的句子很可能就是真正的答案相关句。

　　Americanhasalwaysbeenalandofbeginnings.（第一题答案相关句）AfterEuropeans“discovered”Americainthefifteenthcentury,themysteriousNewWorldbecameformanypeopleagenuinehopeofanewlife,anescapefrompovertyandpersecution,achancetostartagain.Wecansaythat,asnation,Americabeginswiththathope.When,however,doesAmericanliteraturebegin?

　　Americanliteraturebeginswith（以...开始）Americanexperiences（经历）.Longbefore（早在...之前）thefirstcolonists（殖民者）arrived,beforeChristopherColumbus,beforetheNorthmanwhofoundAmericaaboutyear1,000,NativeAmericanslivedhere.Eachtribe'sliteraturewastightlywovenintothefabricofdailylifeandreflectedtheunmistakablyAmericanexperienceofliningwiththeland.Anotherkindofexperience,onefilledwithfearandexcitement,founditsexpressioninthereportsthatColumbusandotherexplorerssenthomeinSpain,FrenchandEnglish.Inaddition,thejournalsofthepeoplewholivedanddiedintheNewEnglandwilderness'tellunforgettabletalesofhardendsometimesheartbreakingexperiencesofthoseearlyyears.

　　从第2段第2句可知：

很早以前，本土美国人就居住在这里。

既然前一句说“美国文学产生于美国人的生活经历”，由此可知美国文学产生于很早以前就居住这里的本土美国人的生活经历，对比被选项判断只有D合适。

　　3.A.利用问题句及被选项中的特征词，细节信息词/结构（字体加粗，带有下划线）作为答案线索，在文章中查找答案相关句：

　　（第2题答案相关句）AmericanliteraturebeginswithAmericanexperiences.Longbeforethefirstcolonistsarrived,beforeChristopherColumbus,beforetheNorthmanwhofoundAmericaaboutyear1,000,NativeAmericanslivedhere.Eachtribe'sliteraturewastightly（紧密地）woven（编织，编写）intothefabric（结构，构架，织物）ofdaily（每天的，日常的）lifeandreflected（反映，反射）theunmistakably（明白地）Americanexperienceofliningwith（给...加衬）theland（土地，陆地）.Anotherkindofexperience,onefilledwithfearandexcitement,founditsexpressioninthereportsthatColumbusandotherexplorerssenthomeinSpain,FrenchandEnglish.Inaddition,thejournalsofthepeoplewholivedanddiedintheNewEnglandwilderness'tellunforgettabletalesofhardendsometimesheartbreakingexperiencesofthoseearlyyears.

　　根据答案相关句（第2段第3句）可知“从美洲土著部落的文学中，我们可以找到他们日常生活的写照”。

　　4.D.主旨题。

关注指定段落是否有段落主题词及段落主题句。

　　（观点句）Experience,then,isthekey（关键）toearly（早期的）Americanliterature.TheNewWorldprovidedagreatvarietyofexperiences,andexperiencesdemandedawidevarietyofexpressionsbyanevenwidervarietyofearlyAmericanwriters.ThesewritersincludedJohnSmith,whospentonlytwo-and-a-halfyear:

ontheAmerican,continent.TheyincludedJonathanEdwardsandWilliamByrd，whothoughtofthemselvesasBritishsubjects,neversuspectingarevolutionthatwouldcreateaUnitedStatesofAmericawithaliteratureofitsown.AmericanIndians,explorers,Puritanministers,frontierwives,plantationowner一theyareallthecreatorsofthefirstAmericanliterature.

　　根据段首句句意判断D是答案。

　　提示3：

　　如果段首句是“观点句，概括句，定义句，权威人士的发言”，则这样的段首句往往就是其所在段落的主题句。

　　5.D.利用被选项中的共有词Britishwriters，Americanliterature作为答案线索，在第4段中查找答案相关句：

　　（第4段）（第4题答案相关句）Experience,then,isthekeytoearlyAmericanliterature.TheNewWorldprovidedagreatvarietyofexperiences,andexperiencesdemandedawidevarietyofexpressionsbyanevenwidervarietyofearlyAmericanwriters.ThesewritersincludedJohnSmith,whospentonlytwo-and-a-halfyear:

ontheAmerican,continent.TheyincludedJonathanEdwardsandWilliamByrd，whothoughtofthemselvesas（把...看作为...）Britishsubjects（国民，题目，主题，学科）,neversuspecting（怀疑）arevolution（革命）thatwouldcreate（创造）aUnitedStatesofAmericawithaliteratureofitsown（自己的）.AmericanIndians,explorers,Puritanministers,frontierwives,plantationowner一theyareallthecreatorsofthefirstAmericanliterature.

　　根据答案相关句（第4段倒数第2句）可知英国作家对美国文学的未来充满信心。
